HPGL to PNG Conversion: FAQ
What are HPGL files?
The .hpgl file format (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) is a text-based vector format used to control plotters and printers. It contains simple ASCII commands that direct pen movements to draw lines, curves, and text. Originally created for HP plotters, it's widely used in CAD, engineering, and PCB design for precise technical drawings. Its simplicity and compatibility keep it relevant in many design and printing workflows.
What are PNG files?
The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format was designed in the mid-1990s as an improved alternative to the previously existing JPG and GIF formats, and as an extension which would be particularly web-friendly. In time, PNG files have gained a wide popularity and are highly appreciated at the moment for their ability to provide a lossless compression of images, which translates in high-quality and detailed renderings.
