The PNG is generated at a standard resolution suitable for viewing and sharing. The exact dimensions depend on your spreadsheet's content and column/row count.
The PNG conversion uses the spreadsheet's display view, not print layout. For print-specific formatting, consider converting to PDF first, then PDF to PNG if needed.
Files up to 100MB are supported. Very large spreadsheets may take longer to process, and the resulting PNG size will depend on the data complexity and formatting.
