In InDesign, choose ‘file’ then ‘export’ and save the file as an EPS. Next, open the newly-created EPS file using Adobe Illustrator. Once inside Illustrator, save the file as a PNG. There probably won’t ever be a program dedicated to converting INDD to PNG, so take these extra steps when necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to image files, there’s often confusion about which extensions are interchangeable with one another.
