PNG to PDF (Online)

PNG to PDF, as you can easily guess from the name itself, is an excellent Web service thanks to which you can convert files in PNG format into PDF documents. It is simplistic to use and allows you to upload up to a maximum of 20 images at a time.

You ask me how to use it? Nothing simpler! To begin with, connect to the home page of the service using the link I provided you a moment ago, then drag the images in PNG format you want to convert directly into the browser window and wait a few moments for the upload procedure to start and complete. If you don’t prefer drag and drop, you can also upload the files you want to work on by clicking the Upload files button and then selecting the images from your computer.

You can then download the individual converted files by clicking the Download button next to each preview or you can download all the PNG files merged into a single PDF document by pressing the Merge button at the bottom.

PDF Candy (Online)

Another online service to transform PNG images to PDF that I recommend you try is  PDF Candy . It is a zero-cost resource, has a beautiful user interface completely in Italian and does not impose particularly stringent limits regarding the maximum weight of the files and the number of documents that can be sent every day. If at least two files are loaded at a time, it automatically merges them into a single document and the processing also takes place quite quickly.

To use it, go to its main page using the link I just provided and drag the files you want to convert into the browser window. If you prefer, you can also manually select the documents to act on by pressing + Add file or drag and drop it (*. Png) or, again you can upload them directly from your Google Drive or Dropbox account by simply clicking on the relative icons and logging in to the chosen service.

Once the upload is complete, sort the previews of the files according to your needs by clicking on them and, continuing to hold down, dragging them to the position you prefer. Then complete the procedure by pressing the Convert N file button (instead of N you will find the number of PNG files that the service is about to merge) and wait for the transformation to be started and completed.

To download the PDF obtained from the PNG images, then click on the Download PDF files button  or select the icons of the supported cloud storage services in order to save everything on the cloud.

Zamzar (Online)

Another very valid service that can allow you to transform PNG to PDF is without a shadow of a doubt  Zamzar . It is a simple converter accessible via the Web as famous as it is reliable thanks to which it is possible to act on different types of files, including those in question, of course. The maximum overall weight allowed for uploading files is 100 MB at a time.

To convert PNG to PDF with Zamzar, the first thing you need to do is to go to the home of the service using the appropriate link I just provided, then click on the Choose files button  …  and select the images in PNG format on your computer that you intend to transform.

Now, set the pdf option  from the drop-down menu located under  Step 2 , type your e-mail address in the field located next to  Step 3  (it is essential, otherwise you won’t be able to download the final PDF files as the link to download the file will be provided to you by mail) and then click on the Convert button   to start the file transformation process.

Then wait for the conversion procedure to start and when the operation is completed you will receive an e-mail message with the link to download your PNG files transformed into PDF. Then click on the link in the e-mail message and then click on the Download now button   which is next to the name of the file to download on the web page that you will later see open in the browser.

i2pdf (Windows)

Instead of using special web services, do you prefer to convert your PNG files into PDF documents using a “traditional” software to download and install on your computer? Then turn to  i2pdf  and you will see that you will not regret it. It is a small but powerful application at no cost that allows you to create PDF files starting from images in JPG, BMP, TIFF, GIF and, of course, also PNG. It can be used on any version of Windows and requires no installation to work.

To download the program on your computer, connected to its official website via the link I just provided, scroll down the page and press the Download i2pdf 32 bit link   (if what you use is a 32 bit operating system ) or on  Download i2pdf 64 bit  (if what you are using is a 64 bit operating system). When the download is complete, open the archive in ZIP format with i2pdf inside, extract the contents in a location of your choice and start the i2pdf.exe executable

Now, drag the PNG images you want to convert to PDF into the i2pdf window, click the Build PDF button  and adjust the settings related to the output file using the menus and tabs found in the new window you see appear on your desktop (eg through the Page format drop-down menu  you can select the page format, by going to the Text tab  you can activate the insertion of a custom text on each page of the final document and so on).

Finally, assign a name to the output document, select the folder in which to save it and confirm your willingness to save the PDF to get your final file. Easier than that?

Preview (Mac)

If you use a Mac, on the other hand, I have good, indeed excellent news to give you: to convert your PNG files to PDF you don’t need any additional software. Everything you need to mend the business is already available “standard” on macOS. In fact, you just need to use Preview , the software for viewing images and documents pre-installed on all Apple-branded computers and you’re done.

So, to start with, open the first PNG image you want to transform into PDF by double clicking on its icon, then click on the File menu at the top left, select the Export as PDF … option and indicate the location where you want to save the document the final. Done!

Need to merge multiple PNG files into one PDF document? So do this: after opening the first PNG image you want to act on, click on the View menu at the top left and enable the Thumbnail option .

At this point, in the left part of the Preview window and therefore of the open image you will see a bar appear. Drag all the images to transform on them, then arrange the previews in the order you prefer and select them all using the combination of keys  cmd + a on the Mac keyboard.

Finally, click on the File item attached to the menu bar, select the Print item , and then click on  Save as PDF from the drop-down menu located at the bottom left. Then choose the folder in which to save the final unified document.

App for smartphones and tablets (Android / iOS)

As anticipated at the beginning, converting PNG files to PDF is a very possible operation even from smartphones and tablets. To do this, you just need to use some special apps. Even in this case, these are very simple resources to use and usable at no cost (at least in their basic version). Below you will find those that in my opinion represent the best in the category.

• Office Lens(for  Android  and for  iOS ) – It is a Microsoft application thanks to which you can transform photos and images in various formats, including PNG, and then transform them into PDF.
• Scanbot(for Android and for iOS ) – It is one of the most popular and popular applications for transforming various images and documents into PDF files. It also integrates a simple editor through which you can make quick changes to the chosen images.
