Convert AWD to PNG

Understanding AWD and PNG file formats

AWD (Microsoft Fax Document) is a proprietary file format used primarily by Microsoft Fax services to store faxed documents. These files are typically created by Windows Fax and Scan or older Microsoft fax software. AWD files can contain scanned images, text, and fax transmission data.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a widely used raster image format known for its lossless compression and support for transparency. PNG files are ideal for web graphics, digital artwork, and images requiring high quality and transparency.

Why convert AWD to PNG?
