Convert PNG to PDF.
Convert a PNG to a PDF with a searchable OCR text layer — your screenshot or scan becomes a selectable, searchable document.
A screenshot you can search
PNG is the screenshot format, so this is the natural way to turn a captured screen, a saved image or a scan into a clean PDF you can file, print or send. And because OCR runs on the way through, any text in the image becomes a selectable, searchable layer — your screenshot stops being a flat picture and behaves like a real document.
Stays sharp
PNG is lossless, so the image is embedded crisply with no compression artifacts — which is exactly what you want for screenshots of text, UI or diagrams where every edge should stay clean.
Text vs pure graphics
If the PNG contains text — a document screenshot, a receipt, an error message — OCR captures it so the PDF is searchable. A purely graphic PNG simply becomes a clean image PDF. Just need the words? Image to text extracts them directly.

What you get from PNG to PDF
Your PNG is placed onto a PDF page at full resolution, so it prints and shares cleanly. Where the image holds text, an on-device OCR pass adds a searchable, selectable layer underneath — the picture itself is unchanged.

Is my file private?+
Uploads go to a private bucket, are converted, and auto-delete after 1 hour. Files never touch a third-party converter.
