How to convert PNG images to PDF
A step-by-step guide to convert PNG images to PDF, with advice on the settings and checks that matter.
Before you start
Add the PNG files in the intended sequence. Inspect transparent areas before placing them onto a PDF page.

Check backgrounds, image edges and the final page order.
Why PNG transparency looks different in a PDF
Transparent image regions reveal the background beneath them. A PDF page typically displays on a white canvas, which can change the perceived design. Preview the final PDF rather than assuming the image editor’s checkerboard represents the output. Use a deliberate background when appearance must be consistent.
