You can create a new NSBitmapImageRep using the TIFFRepresentation and use representationUsingType:properties:
to get the PNG-data:


NSData* TIFFData = [img TIFFRepresentation];
NSBitmapImageRep* bitmapImageRep = [NSBitmapImageRep imageRepWithData:TIFFData];
NSData* PNGData = [bitmapImageRep representationUsingType:NSPNGFileType properties:nil];
[PNGData writeToFile: @"JAN01.png" atomically: YES];


While this might be fine for a one-off application where performance and memory usage doesn't matter, this is really not the best way to convert an NSImage into a PNG. In fact, imageRepWithData: should work with any file type that is supported by ImageIO, which natively includes PNG, so you could pass in the original file data rather than going through NSImage.
