Supports: ODT
Turn an OpenDocument Text file into PNG images, one per page, with the text rendered as a lossless raster. PNG keeps letter edges and table rules pixel-sharp with no compression halos, so a page of body text reads cleanly even when zoomed — the trade-off is a larger file than JPG. The output is a flat picture of each page, not an editable document.
.odt into the box or click "+ Add Files". A multi-page document is rendered to one PNG per page.Both are raster images, but they handle text differently. Use this to decide which output fits before you convert.
| Property | PNG (this tool) | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless — every pixel preserved | Lossy — discards detail to shrink |
| Text and table edges | Crisp, no artifacts | Soft halos around letters at low quality |
| Typical file size | Larger | Smaller (often a fraction of PNG) |
| Transparency | Supported (alpha channel) | Not supported |
| Color model | RGB / RGBA, no CMYK | RGB (YCbCr internally), no CMYK |
| Best for | Sharp text, screenshots, archiving a page | Photo-heavy pages, smallest file for email |
| Introduced | 1996 (W3C, RFC 2083) | 1992 (JPEG / ISO 10918) |

PNG uses lossless compression, so the text stays exactly as rendered with no blur or ringing around the glyph edges. JPG's lossy compression introduces faint halos around high-contrast text, which is most visible on small body copy and table borders. If the page is mostly text, PNG looks cleaner; if it is photo-heavy and you want the smallest file, JPG usually wins.
One PNG per page. A three-page ODT produces three separate PNG files, each rendering a single page at the DPI you chose. PNG has no multi-page container the way PDF does, so each page is delivered as its own image.
No. PNG is a flat raster image — the words become pixels, not selectable, editable text. To keep editable text in a portable layout, convert to PDF instead, which preserves the text layer.
PNG files are noticeably larger than JPG because nothing is discarded; in our testing a text-heavy A4 page at the default 300 DPI lands in the low single-digit megabytes, and dropping to 150 DPI roughly quarters that. To shrink a finished PNG further without re-rendering, run it through Compress PNG, which reduces the palette and re-encodes losslessly.
300 DPI (the default) matches print resolution and keeps text sharp if the image will be printed or zoomed. For an image that will only ever be viewed on screen, 150 DPI cuts the file size substantially with no visible loss at normal viewing size. Go above 300 DPI only when you plan to crop into the page and need the detail.
Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours — no sign-up, no watermark, never shared or made public. There is no fixed page or file-count cap; the practical limit is upload size and your connection speed, since a large multi-page ODT renders to several full-resolution PNGs. The resulting images sit well under common email attachment caps such as Gmail's 25 MB when kept at screen DPI.
