Screen Capture to PDF

Capture your screeninto a PDF, page by page.

PDFBook's Creator can build a PDF straight from your screen on Windows. Pick a window, crop the region you want, and PDFBook turns the pages while it snaps each one, then assembles every shot into a single PDF. The crop selector is precise, drag handles, Ctrl+wheel zoom, automatic boundary detection, and undo/redo, and a two-page spread mode handles wider layouts. Everything runs on your device, with nothing uploaded. Screen capture is Windows only for now, with macOS and Linux planned but not yet supported.

Window to PDF, automatically paged

Choose a window, set the crop region once, and PDFBook advances the pages while it captures each one. Every shot is collected and assembled into one PDF, so you do not have to screenshot and stitch by hand.

Precise crop selector

Refine the capture region with drag handles, Ctrl+wheel zoom, and automatic boundary detection, with undo and redo at every step. A two-page spread mode captures left and right pages together for wider layouts.

On-device, nothing uploaded

Screen capture runs entirely on your computer. The images and the resulting PDF never leave your device and never touch a third-party server, so private screens stay private.

Lands in your library

The assembled PDF drops straight into your PDFBook library, ready to read with flip mode and PDFBook's dual rendering engines, right next to your other books.

Your files never leave your computer
