SVG to PNG Converter

To convert SVG to PNG, add the file, set the output width — the height follows the drawing's proportions — choose a transparent or white background, and download. The vector is drawn at exactly that size, so it stays sharp; about twice the display size suits high-density screens. External fonts and images in the SVG are not loaded.

How to use the SVG to PNG Converter

  1. 1Add the SVG file.
  2. 2Set the output width — the height follows the drawing's proportions.
  3. 3Choose whether the background stays transparent or becomes white.
  4. 4Render and download the PNG.

How it works

An SVG has no pixels at all; it is a set of drawing instructions. That is why it can be exported at any size without ever going blurry, and why the width you choose here matters: the drawing is rasterised at that exact size rather than blown up from a small bitmap.

Transparency is kept by default, which is what you want for a logo going onto a coloured background. Turning it off puts the drawing on white, which suits documents and slide decks that show transparency as a checkerboard.

One limitation is worth knowing. The drawing is rendered by the browser in isolation, so an SVG that pulls in an external image, an external font or a stylesheet will be missing those pieces. Embed them in the file first if the result looks wrong.

Images are decoded by the browser, redrawn on a canvas and re-encoded on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no waiting on a queue and no copy of your photos anywhere else.

Tips and common mistakes

  • Export at twice the size the image will be displayed at, so it stays sharp on high-density screens.
  • Convert text to outlines in your drawing program first if a special font matters.
  • Embed any linked images in the SVG before converting; external files are not loaded.
  • Keep the transparent background for logos; switch to white for documents and slides.

Frequently asked questions

What size should I export?
Twice the size it will be displayed at, so it stays sharp on high-density screens. 1024 px wide covers most uses.
Why is my text missing or in the wrong font?
The SVG refers to a font your browser does not have. Convert the text to outlines in your drawing program first.
Can I get a transparent PNG?
Yes, that is the default. Untick the option to place the drawing on white instead.
Does it handle animated SVG?
The first frame is drawn. A PNG cannot hold animation.
Why convert an SVG to PNG at all?
Many places accept only pixel images: social media, some document editors, email and many upload forms. A PNG works everywhere.
Will the PNG stay sharp if I enlarge it later?
No. A PNG has a fixed number of pixels. Export it at the largest size you will need.
Is my SVG uploaded?
No. Your browser renders it and saves the PNG on your device.
