About PNG to RGF Conversion

PNG (introduced 1996) and RGF are both image formats, but they differ in important ways. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, making it perfect for graphics, logos, and screenshots. RGF is a widely used file format.

CocoConvert's converter handles the entire pipeline server-side using FFmpeg, Sharp, and qpdf — battle-tested libraries used by streaming platforms and enterprise tools. Files are encrypted in transit and deleted within 24 hours.
