About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a free replacement for GIF. It supports full colour and an alpha channel for transparency.
Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and any image with text or sharp edges.
For photos a PNG is several times larger than a JPEG, and plain PNG has no animation (that is APNG).
Convert PNG to PDF online free, no account required — PDF is the fixed-layout document standard.
Change PNG to PDF without losing quality — convert PNG to PDF free in your browser.
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the same photo as JPG? PNG stores every pixel losslessly, which is ideal for screenshots and graphics but wasteful for photos — JPG or WebP compress photographs far more efficiently.
About PDF
PDF (Portable Document Format) is the ISO 32000 standard for fixed-layout documents that look the same on every device.
Sharing, printing and archiving documents; here PDF is an output format for images, drawings and e-books.
This service only creates PDFs; editing, merging or converting existing PDFs is the job of NexDocs.
Why convert documents to PDF? The layout looks identical on every device and printer, which is exactly why forms, invoices and papers are exchanged as PDF.
