Good to know

- PS pages are drawn at 300 dpi by Ghostscript on our server; choose another resolution in Options.

Is converting PS to PNG free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my PS pictures uploaded anywhere?
