How does PDF.to convert a DOCX document to a PNG image?
+
PDF.to lays out each page of your DOCX exactly as it would print, then renders that page to a PNG image. You get one PNG per page, capturing fonts, layout, tables, and figures as a flat picture.
Why turn a DOCX into a PNG image?
+
A PNG image of a DOCX page is universally viewable, cannot be reflowed or accidentally edited, and drops straight into a slide, chat, or web page. It is the simplest way to share a DOCX as a fixed snapshot.
Will the PNG look exactly like my DOCX?
+
Yes. The DOCX is rendered through a real layout engine, so the PNG preserves fonts, spacing, headers, columns, and embedded images pixel-for-pixel as the document would appear when opened.
I have a multi-page DOCX. What do I get?
+
Each page of the DOCX becomes its own numbered PNG image, and all of them are zipped together for a single download. A one-page DOCX returns a single PNG.
What resolution is the PNG image?
+
Pages render at 150 DPI by default, which is crisp on screen and good enough to print. Raise the DPI in the options panel for a higher-resolution PNG when you need to zoom in.
Will the text in the PNG stay selectable?
+
No. A PNG is a raster image, so text becomes pixels and is no longer selectable or searchable. If you need selectable text, convert the DOCX to PDF or to a PNG document with OCR instead.
