How to convert ORA to PNG

  1. Add your ORA paintings

    Drop ORA (OpenRaster) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. PNG is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the PNG, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The ORA to PNG converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your paintings are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

ORA to PNG: what to expect

ORA opens in few programs outside open-source painting tools. PNG keeps every pixel exactly and supports transparent backgrounds. ORA is at home in exchanging layered artwork between open-source programs; PNG is the usual choice for screenshots, logos, graphics with text or transparency.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can resize the result.

The picture is the flattened image that the painting program stored in the file, so the layers are not kept and cannot be edited afterwards.

ORA vs PNG

ORA

OpenRaster image

OpenRaster is an open format for layered images. The file is a ZIP holding each layer as a PNG, a small XML description of the stack, a flattened preview and a thumbnail, so any program can unpack it. It exists so artists can move layered work between painting programs.

Opens in Krita, GIMP, MyPaint, Pinta and other open-source painting programs

PNG

PNG image

PNG stores every pixel exactly, with optional transparency. It was created as a patent-free replacement for GIF and is the standard for screenshots, logos and interface graphics. Photos saved as PNG are several times larger than the same photo as JPG.

Questions

Are my paintings uploaded anywhere?

No. The ORA to PNG conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting ORA to PNG reduce quality?

No further quality is lost: PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly. The result is identical in content.

Can I convert several ORA files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert ORA to PNG on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the ORA file, press Convert and save the PNG. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
