Instead of creating a PDF, Typst can also directly render pages to PNG raster\ngraphics. PNGs are losslessly compressed images that can contain one page at a\ntime. When exporting a multi-page document, Typst will emit multiple PNGs. PNGs\nare a good choice when you want to use Typst's output in an image editing\nsoftware or when you can use none of Typst's other export formats.
\nIn contrast to Typst's other export formats, PNGs are bound to a specific\nresolution. When exporting to PNG, you can configure the resolution as pixels\nper inch (PPI). If the medium you view the PNG on has a finer resolution than\nthe PNG you exported, you will notice a loss of quality. Typst calculates the\nresolution of your PNGs based on each page's physical dimensions and the PPI. If\nyou need guidance for choosing a PPI value, consider the following:
\nBecause PNGs only contain a pixel raster, the text within cannot be extracted\nautomatically (without OCR), for example by copy/paste or a screen reader. If\nyou need the text to be accessible, export a PDF or HTML file instead.
\nPNGs can have transparent backgrounds. By default, Typst will output a PNG with\nan opaque white background. You can make the background transparent using\n#set page(fill: none). Learn more on the\npage function's reference page.
Pass --format png to the compile or watch subcommand or provide an output\nfile name that ends with .png.
If your document has more than one page, Typst will create multiple image files.\nThe output file name must then be a template string containing at least one of
\n{p}, which will be replaced by the page number{0p}, which will be replaced by the zero-padded page number (so that all\nnumbers have the same length){t}, which will be replaced by the total number of pagesWhen exporting to PNG, you have the following configuration options:
\nWhich resolution to render at by specifying --ppi followed by a number of\npixels per inch. The default is 144.
Which pages to export by specifying --pages followed by a comma-separated\nlist of numbers or dash-separated number ranges. Ranges can be half-open.\nExample: 2,3,7-9,11-.
Click "File" > "Export as" > "PNG" or click the downwards-facing arrow next to\nthe quick download button and select "Export as PNG". When exporting to PNG, you\nhave the following configuration options:
\nThe resolution at which the pages should be rendered, as a number of pixels\nper inch. The default is 144.
Which pages to export. Valid options are "All pages", "Current page", and\n"Custom ranges". Custom ranges are a comma-separated list of numbers or\ndash-separated number ranges. Ranges can be half-open. Example: 2,3,7-9,11-.
