- What happens to transparent areas in my PNG?
- PDF pages are opaque, so transparent pixels are flattened onto a white page background. This is expected — if you need a different color behind your graphic, add a background to the PNG before converting.
- Can I put several PNGs into one multi-page PDF?
- Yes — with a separate tool. Use images-to-pdf to merge 2 or more PNGs (or a mix of PNG and JPG) into one multi-page PDF, one page per image in upload order, for 1 credit per image merged. This png-to-pdf tool itself still converts each PNG into its own one-page PDF; batch jobs here still deliver a ZIP with one PDF per image.
- Is the conversion private?
- Yes. Files upload over an encrypted HTTPS connection, converted PDFs are automatically deleted within 24 hours, and uploaded originals are removed within 6–24 hours. We never share your files.
- What are the file size and usage limits?
- Anonymous visitors get 1 free server conversion with files up to 20 MB. A free account allows 50 MB per file, 3 conversions every 30 days, and batches of up to 5 files; paid users get 200 MB per file, batches of up to 100, and ZIP download.
- How is my PDF's page size determined?
- We use pdf-lib, a pure JavaScript PDF library with no external renderer, to build your file. It creates a page sized to your PNG's exact pixel dimensions, treating 1 pixel as 1 point, so a 1200×1600 image produces a 1200×1600 pt page — no cropping or paper-size preset is applied.
- What happens if I upload an extremely high-resolution PNG?
- Very large images are clamped to a safe ceiling of about 200 inches per side before the page is created. This keeps the PDF within dimensions every reader can open reliably; it only affects unusually huge graphics or scans, not typical screenshots or exports.
- Does converting to PDF reduce my image's quality?
- No extra recompression is applied beyond flattening transparency onto white. Your PNG's pixel data is embedded at full resolution, so the PDF looks the same as opening the PNG directly on a white background.
- Do I need special software to open the PDF?
- No. The file is a standard ISO 32000 PDF, so it opens correctly in any PDF reader, web browser, or the built-in viewer on your phone or computer — no special software required.
