How to get a PNG image of a polygon with the corner coordinates in a separate file?

I have access to ArcGIS 10.1 and QGIS 2.8.1.

I tried this: https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/30503/50606 , but I get an uncomplete file :

0.01192239336492888

-0.01192239336492888

15.35022462480259975

-10.64971119668243738

The 2 last lines are the coordinates of the North-West corner (WGS84). I don't know what the first 4 lines represent. And I don't know how to get the 3 other coordinates.

Using the "Generate World file" in Atlas does not seem to work.

0.01192239336492888 is your pixel size see more information on world files

so you can work this out if you know the number of pixels your image is

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_file you only need your top left for images in ArcGIS

TO SAVE TIME:

you know you can use Build Footprints (Data Management) http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//001700000087000000

"Computes the footprints for each raster dataset in a mosaic dataset."
