@Ira-Glass Hi, your sentence doesn't quite make sense. You can save a single PNG using the 'Save Snapshot to File' button at the top of the preview window. Or you can render the timeline or a selected region as a PNG Image Sequence.

Or maybe you mean render a series of png files that are on the timeline where each png in the rendered sequence is just one single image -

Either edit the png's on the timeline so they are only 1 frame in length,

Or open Preferences & change this setting to 0.040, then add your png's to the timeline, they will all be only 1 frame in length,

Then when you render as Image Sequence the sequentially numbered sequence will only have one image per number

If you are talking about import a PNG sequence, there is an option to IMPORT IMAGE SEQUENCE. If the PNGs are numbered consecutively, it will import as one video file.

@DMT3 I believe the OP is asking about exporting a PNG/Alpha Image Sequence, in which case the numbering scheme is already there.

Follow @john_dennis' example, and export the PNG Image Sequence as one normally would.

The images are actual PNG/Alpha, or RGBA, I have just confirmed.

My 2 Cents:

RGBA Image sequence EXPORT:

RGBA Image sequence IMPORT:

EXPORT and IMPORT on timeline:
