Why convert OXPS to PNG?
OXPS is a fixed-layout document format (ECMA-388, 2009) with virtually no support outside Windows. Converting pages to PNG makes them viewable anywhere and suitable for embedding in presentations, web pages, or image editors. PNG's lossless compression preserves the sharp edges of text and line art that JPEG's lossy encoding would degrade.
