Convert PNG to RTF
What is PNG?
PNG
PNG stores raster pixel data using lossless Deflate compression with RGBA color support. Documents store text as character data with formatting metadata and layout instructions. While documents can embed PNG images, the image pixels themselves contain no text—extracting text from PNG requires OCR software that interprets pixel patterns as characters, which is content analysis, not format conversion.
- PNG stores pixel-based images, ideal for photographs and graphics requiring document embedding
- Embeds easily in document formats without quality loss
- Transparency support useful for document layering
- Fixed resolution determines final document print quality
- DEFLATE compression reduces file size without data loss
What is RTF?
RTF
RTF stores text with formatting commands as ASCII character sequences. Images are pixel arrays at specific resolutions. Converting document to image means rendering the formatted text as pixels—transforming character codes and formatting commands into a visual raster. This creates a snapshot but removes text editability, searchability, and the ability to reflow content for different display contexts.
- RTF contains structured text and layout data that renders to fixed visual output
- Text and vector elements rasterize to pixels during image conversion
- Page layout determines final image dimensions and aspect ratio
