How PS turns into PNG: rasterization at a fixed canvas

Rasterizing PS fixes every path and shape onto one pixel grid before that canvas is encoded as PNG. Once that happens, scaling the derivative back up cannot recover the original curves. PostScript input is processed only as trusted page-description code, resolving fonts, graphics state, page devices, color operators, and bounding geometry while rendering. PNG delivery preserves exact raster samples with optional full alpha and color metadata, but file size, palette reduction, animation absence, and profile handling still vary.

Starting model: a PostScript page-description program specifying text and graphics for printing or rendering. Rendered result: pixels written losslessly with a full alpha channel available.

INPUT MODEL

MIME: image/png

When to actually choose PS to PNG

Use PNG when the destination needs pixels; keep PS for logos, diagrams, or print work that must remain resolution independent.

What changes between the PS model and the PNG deliverable

PNG supports alpha transparency that PS never had, so any transparent areas in the result are newly created, not carried over from the source.
Scalable PS paths become a fixed-resolution PNG pixel grid; choose dimensions before delivery.
Treat PS-specific metadata fields as optional in the PNG result until you have actually confirmed they survived.

Acceptance evidence for the converted PNG

BEFORE

Record the PS evidence before conversion

Process only trusted input in a sandbox and inspect page count, bounding boxes, fonts, colors, overprint, and printed rendering.

AFTER

Test the PNG file in its receiving workflow

Zoom to 100% on transparent edges, gradients, and small text, and confirm the exact pixel dimensions.

Reading PS correctly and satisfying what PNG expects

What can fail when PS vector graphic is interpreted

Executing untrusted PostScript is unsafe, and missing fonts, device assumptions, page boxes, or color setup can change output.

PNG

What Portable Network Graphics cannot safely promise

PNG is a poor fit for photographic detail, and even without any JPEG-style loss, palette reduction can visibly simplify a smooth gradient.

How the PNG writer handles this route

The writer builds pixels written losslessly with a full alpha channel available and labels the result as image/png. The receiving application - Not the extension alone - Is the final compatibility test.
