public static byte[] EncodeToPNG (Texture2D tex);

Parameters

texThe texture to convert.

Description

Encodes this texture into PNG format.

The returned byte array is the PNG "file". You can write them to disk to get the PNG file, send them over the network, etc.

This function works only on uncompressed, non-HDR texture formats. The texture also has to have Is Readable flag set in the import settings.

The encoded PNG data will contain alpha channel for RGBA32, ARGB32 textures, and no alpha channel for RGB24 textures. PNG data will not contain gamma correction or color profile information.
