What is a PNG file?

PNG – PNG image. PNG keeps every pixel as it was, which keeps the sharp edges of text. A page converted to PNG is a picture of it, with the text no longer selectable.

Good to know

  • Each page becomes a picture. A document with more than one page comes back as a ZIP with a PNG for each page, drawn at 150 dots per inch unless you choose otherwise in Options.
  • The text in the pictures cannot be selected or searched.
  • The text is converted as it is: a blank line starts a new paragraph, and marks like # and * are not treated as Markdown.
  • Pages are A4 with margins.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting TXT 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 TXT files uploaded anywhere?

This conversion runs on our server, because it needs tools that do not run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The server has no internet access while it works on your file.

How large can the TXT file be?

Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.

Will the PNG look the same as the TXT?

The pages keep their text, pictures and layout. A TXT file that uses fonts the converter does not have is shown with similar ones, so lines can break in different places.

Can I convert several TXT files at once?

Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.

Can I choose pages or quality for the PNG?

Yes. Click Options next to the file. Only the settings that make sense for TXT to PNG are shown.
