Can I mix PNG and JPG?

Yes — anything the browser can open goes into the same document, in whatever order you arrange it.

How do I make the file smaller?

Convert first, then compress the finished PDF. One pass over the whole document beats shrinking each image separately.

Fifteen screenshots are fifteen attachments, and nobody opens fifteen attachments in order. As one PDF they are a document — paginated, in sequence, and small enough to send.

Keeping them sharp

A PNG is embedded at full resolution rather than re-encoded, so a screenshot is exactly as sharp in the PDF as it is on disk. This matters most for UI captures, where re-compression is what turns crisp interface text into mush.

Capture at your display's native resolution rather than scaling images down first — you can always compress the finished PDF, but you cannot put detail back.

Page size and margins

Fit to image gives every page the shape of its screenshot: no white bars, no wasted space, ideal for something read on screen.

A4 with a margin is right when the document will be printed or submitted somewhere expecting a standard page — a bug report, an audit trail, a claim.

Ordering and naming

Screenshots are usually named by timestamp, which sorts correctly by luck rather than design. Arrange them deliberately before converting, especially where the sequence is the point — a reproduction path, a set of steps, a before and after.

Transparent areas render as white, because a PDF page has no transparency behind it. Flatten the image onto the background you want first if that matters.
