Convert FPC to PNG

Understanding fpc and png file formats

FPC files are typically associated with Forms Printer Control files, used by certain legacy printing and form design software. These files contain layout and control information for printing forms, but are not standard image files. On the other hand, PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a widely used raster image format known for its lossless compression and support for transparency.

Why convert fpc to png?

Converting an FPC file to PNG allows you to share, view, or print the form layout as a standard image. This is useful for archiving, documentation, or web publishing, as PNG files are universally supported across platforms and devices.

How to convert fpc to png

Since FPC is a specialized format, direct conversion tools are rare. The typical process involves opening the FPC file in its native application (such as Forms Printer or similar software), then exporting or printing the form to an image format.

Recommended software for conversion

• Forms Printer: If you have access to the original software, open your FPC file and use File → Print or File → Export to save as a PDF. Then, use a PDF to PNG converter.
• PDF24 Creator: After exporting to PDF, use PDF24 Creator to convert the PDF to PNG images.
• Online converters: Websites like Zamzar or CloudConvert can convert PDF files to PNG if you first export your FPC as PDF.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Open the FPC file in its native application.
2. Use File → Print and select a PDF printer (such as Microsoft Print to PDF) to create a PDF version.
3. Open the resulting PDF in a PDF to PNG converter (like PDF24 Creator or an online service).
4. Export or save the pages as PNG images.

Tips and considerations

• Ensure the FPC file is not password-protected or restricted.
• Check the output PNG for quality and completeness.
• If you do not have the original software, contact the file creator for assistance.
