The IPA is just a renamed zip file.

Rename the IPA from an .ipa to a zip and decompress. Right click on the contents and choose show package contents and you've access to all the files.

The PNG files are most likely converted to Apple's preferred CgBi format unless you or the developer has disabled that with a COMPRESS_PNG_FILES = NO; in the pList

So, if anyone can get to your IPA, they can get to the contents.  It's not rocket surgery.
