How to use it
- Drop in the WebP files.
- Arrange them in order.
- Pick a page size and margin, then create the PDF.
Why WebP images end up needing a PDF
Most images saved from modern websites are WebP. That is fine until you want to print a set of them, attach them to an email as one document, or keep a record of something, such as the pages of an online manual, a set of order confirmations or a recipe that might disappear. A PDF holds them together in order and opens anywhere, including on the many office systems that still will not open WebP directly.
Transparency and backgrounds
WebP images can be transparent. PDF pages are white, so transparent areas print as white. For logos and icons that were designed for a dark background, place them on a coloured square first with the padding tool.
Screenshots and text
Images inside the PDF are stored as high-quality JPG to keep the file compact. Text in screenshots stays readable at normal zoom. If you need pixel-perfect copies instead, convert the images to PNG and keep them as separate files.
