Screenshot to PDF
Capture a screenshot of any area of your screen, paste it (Ctrl+V) into the tool, and add it as a page to a PDF document. Supports multiple pages, custom paper size, and orientation. All processing is local.
What is Screenshot to PDF?
Screenshot to PDF is a free, browser-based tool that turns images — screenshots, scanned pages, photos, and graphics — into a portable PDF document. Unlike cloud converters, this tool never sends your images to a server. Every conversion is performed locally in your browser using the open-source jsPDF library for PDF generation and html2canvas for capturing page regions. The result is a clean, single-page-per-image PDF (or a multi-page PDF when you upload several images) that you can save, email, print, or archive. It is perfect for designers, developers, support agents, students, and anyone who needs a quick way to bundle visual evidence into a portable document.
How to Use
- Pick an input method: paste a screenshot with Ctrl/Cmd+V, upload one or more image files, or capture the current page directly.
- Preview your images in the grid below — reorder or remove any image you don't want.
- Click Generate PDF. The PDF is built in your browser and offered as an instant download.
- Open the downloaded PDF to verify the result, or click Clear All to start over.
Common Use Cases
- Bug reports & support tickets: paste a screenshot of a UI issue and ship it as a PDF attachment.
- Documentation & tutorials: capture step-by-step screenshots and bundle them into a single PDF guide.
- Receipts & invoices: turn photos of paper receipts into a neat, archivable PDF file.
- Social media archives: save posts, threads, or articles as PDFs for offline reading.
FAQ
What image formats are supported?
Any format your browser can decode in an <img> tag — PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF (first frame), and BMP. Pasted images from the clipboard are accepted in the same formats.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser. Images and the generated PDF never leave your device. You can verify this by going offline and using the tool.
How are the images laid out on the PDF page?
Each image is fitted to a single A4-sized page (210 × 297 mm), centered and scaled to preserve its aspect ratio. Multiple uploaded images produce a multi-page PDF in the same order.
Is the output PDF searchable or editable?
The PDF contains the image as raster content, so text inside the image is not searchable as text. To extract text, use PDF Extract Text on text-based PDFs.
Pro Tips
- Use clipboard paste for the fastest workflow. Take a screenshot with your OS tool (Snipping Tool, Win+Shift+S, Cmd+Shift+4), then click the page and press Ctrl+V — no save step needed.
- Capture-mode works on the current page only. For very long pages, capture multiple sections and upload them as separate images for sharper output.
- Combine with other tools. After generating the PDF, you can merge it with other documents using PDF Merge, split specific pages with PDF Split, or compress the result with PDF Compress.
