PS to PNG Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
PS is full PostScript — the page-description language that defined desktop publishing. Whole books were typeset as PS programs; Ghostscript remains the reference renderer. Convert to PNG when you need lossless quality or a transparent background — for logos, UI screenshots and line art.
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.

About the PS format
PS is PostScript proper — the Turing-complete page-description language that Adobe shipped in 1984 and that desktop publishing was built on. A .ps file is a program: it draws its own pages with operators like moveto and showpage. Whole theses and books have been typeset as PS via troff and LaTeX pipelines.
Ghostscript is the reference implementation, and it runs here in your browser: PS documents convert to PDF for long-term archiving, or rasterize to PNG/JPG for the web — the same engine print RIPs license for commercial presses.
+ Strengths
- ✓Turing-complete layout control
- ✓The original device-independent print format
- ✓Reference renderer runs in-browser here
! Limitations
- −Program, not data — treat with care
- −Superseded by PDF for interchange
- −Rendering is compute-heavy for big jobs
About the PNG format
PNG was created in 1996 as a free, open replacement for the patent-encumbered GIF, and it has been the reference lossless image format ever since. Pixels are compressed with the DEFLATE algorithm (the same one inside ZIP files), which reproduces the original image exactly — bit-for-bit — while supporting full 8-bit or 16-bit alpha transparency. Screenshots, logos, icons, charts and anything with text or sharp edges should live in PNG.
Because it never discards information, PNG files of photographs are several times larger than JPG — that is the price of perfection. Modern PNG encoders add filters per scanline that make screenshots and flat-color graphics compress surprisingly well. PNG also became the base of APNG, the animation extension that browsers play natively.
+ Strengths
- ✓Truly lossless — every pixel survives exactly as it was
- ✓Full alpha transparency with smooth edges, not 1-bit masks
- ✓Open standard, unpatented, with excellent tooling everywhere
- ✓Ideal for text, line art and flat-color graphics — sharp edges stay sharp
! Limitations
- −Photographs become several times larger than JPG
- −Base format has no animation (that is the APNG extension)
- −16-bit or high-resolution PNGs can grow very heavy
Why convert PS to PNG?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of PNG meet what PS cannot give you. Truly lossless — every pixel survives exactly as it was Meanwhile Program, not data — treat with care One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this PS to PNG converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Will I lose quality converting PS to PNG?
No — PNG is a lossless format, so every pixel of the converted image matches your original PS file. You can also adjust the quality/size balance before converting when the target format supports compression.
Does PS to PNG keep layers and line weights?
No — the output carries the geometry at its exact coordinates. Layer colours, line weights, dimension styles and block attributes are not converted.
Can I convert DWG files here?
No. DWG is a binary format without a reliable browser-side parser. Save the drawing as DXF in your CAD software first — every CAD system can export it.
