FAQ
Should screenshots be PNG, JPG, or PDF?
PNG is best for keeping screenshot text sharp. PDF is best when the destination expects a document-style upload or attachment.
Will converting screenshots to PDF make text searchable?
No. Screenshot to PDF keeps the screenshot as an image. You may need OCR if searchable or editable text is required.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. The converter supports up to 10 files in one batch when the files use the same input format.
Do I need to install software?
No. You can start from this page, choose the matching converter, and process files online from the browser.
