This may sound stupid to all but I am making a precision graph overlay for a golf game . I have a 2D file I made and I am wanting to save it as a png . I am sure it will need to be converted but I am having a hard time finding something I dont have to pay for to use. ANYONE with a suggestion will be a big help !!

if you dont like the 2 other methods above you can create a PDF file, just do a file print (ctrl+p), then choose print to pdf instead of a printer. This will print the mastercam file to a PDF File instead of sending it to an actual printer.

if on windows 10 he should already have it. windows 10 includes the windows print to pdf without extra installers but yes in windows 7 and prior a print to pdf application was needed.
