Tips for crisp screenshot PDFs
- Prefer PNG screenshots when text sharpness matters; use PNG to PDF guidance for transparency handling.
- Use fit-to-image or generous margins so UI chrome is not clipped when printing.
- Keep a logical reading order — paste captures in sequence before you convert.
Limitations
- Clipboard paste depends on the browser. Some mobile browsers restrict paste of image data; file picker still works.
- 25 screenshots per conversion. Split long flows into multiple PDFs.
- Very tall scrolling captures. Extremely tall images may need cropping first for comfortable page layout.
Frequently asked questions
Can I paste screenshots directly?
Yes on most desktop browsers. Press Ctrl+V or Cmd+V after capturing your screen.
Are screenshots uploaded?
No. Screenshots can contain private data — Local2PDF processes them only in your browser.
PNG or JPG for screenshots?
PNG is usually better for UI text and sharp edges. JPG can be smaller for photo-like captures.
Is Screenshot to PDF free?
Yes. Free, no signup, no watermark, unlimited conversions within the image limit.
Private by design
Screenshots often include emails, dashboards, or customer data. Local2PDF keeps that data on your device. Learn more on Security.
