Screenshot export workflows

Save Screenshots as PDF on Mac

If you already have the screenshots, combine them into a PDF with Shotomatic's free browser tool. If you still need to capture a repeatable sequence, the Mac app keeps the pages together from capture through export.

Use it for material you own or have permission to capture, including study sheets, openly licensed readings, support guides, QA records, and other ordered visual documents.

Best for

  • People combining screenshots they already have
  • Readers saving their own, openly licensed, or explicitly permitted pages
  • Teams preparing support guides, QA records, or review documents

Two ways to start

Combine images you already have for free, or use Shotomatic to capture a repeatable sequence on your Mac.

Review before export

Check the order and remove unwanted frames before the screenshots become one document.

Searchable PDF output

Keep the visible page as the reference and use the OCR text layer to find likely pages.

How Shotomatic works

1

Confirm the source

Use an official export when one is available. Capture only material you own or have permission to save.

2

Capture or add images

Run a Shotomatic capture session, or add existing JPG, PNG, and WebP files to the free converter.

3

Review and export

Check the page order, remove mistakes, and export one PDF that is easier to open and review.

Start with the path that matches what you have

You do not need the Mac app for a one-time conversion. Use the free browser tool when the images already exist. Use Shotomatic when capturing and checking a repeated sequence is part of the job.

  • Existing screenshots: add, reorder, and convert them free in your browser
  • New repeated captures: keep the whole session together in Shotomatic
  • Official PDF available: use it instead of taking screenshots

Review the sequence before it becomes a document

A missing, duplicated, or half-loaded frame is easier to fix while the captures are still visible as a set. Review the order before creating the final file.

  • Remove accidental or repeated frames
  • Check transitions and page order
  • Keep the original screenshots for another export later

Choose PDF settings with a real preview

Shotomatic previews the document before export so you can choose page size, orientation, image fit, and quality without guessing how the final file will look.

  • Use page size and orientation that fit the screenshots
  • Balance image quality against PDF file size
  • Treat OCR as a search aid and verify important text against the image
