Why convert PKPASS to PNG?

A PKPASS file is a ZIP-based signed bundle (Apple Wallet, introduced 2012) that stores the barcode and pass artwork as standard PNG files. Most people want a PNG to print a ticket barcode on a device that cannot open PKPASS, or to share the barcode visually without sending the entire pass file.

How to convert PKPASS to PNG

7-Zip OPEN-SOURCE

Rename a copy of the .pkpass to .zip (or right-click and Open archive in 7-Zip directly), then drag out strip.png, logo.png, or any other bundled image.

macOS Archive Utility FREE

Rename the .pkpass to .zip and double-click; Archive Utility extracts a folder containing all PNG assets.

Apple Wallet FREE

Open the .pkpass in Apple Wallet on iOS, navigate to the barcode, and take a screenshot; it is saved as a PNG in Photos.

PassWallet FREE

Open the .pkpass in PassWallet on Android and take a screenshot of the displayed pass to save a PNG of the barcode.

Quality & what to watch

  • The PNG images are already inside the bundle - icon, logo, and strip art are standard .png files; no re-encoding happens, only extraction.
  • Screenshots of Wallet barcodes (QR, Aztec, PDF417, Code 128) scan reliably at normal screen resolution.
  • A PNG image carries only the visual; the barcode payload text and pass metadata remain in pass.json inside the bundle.

Frequently asked questions

Which image inside the bundle is the barcode?
The barcode image is typically strip.png or thumbnail.png; the actual barcode payload string is in pass.json under the barcode key.
Do I need a special tool to open the .pkpass as a ZIP?
On Windows, 7-Zip can open a .pkpass directly without renaming; on macOS, rename a copy to .zip before double-clicking.
Can I print the extracted barcode PNG?
Yes; most airlines and venues accept printed barcodes, but confirm with the specific issuer before travelling.
