SVG to PNG Converter

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector format that describes shapes using mathematical coordinates, while PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a raster format that stores images as a grid of colored pixels. Converting between these formats requires rasterization — the process of sampling vector paths at a specific resolution to produce pixel data.



This tool uses the browser's native rendering pipeline to perform the conversion. When you upload an SVG, it is drawn onto an HTML5 Canvas element at your chosen dimensions. The Canvas API's drawImage() method renders the vector paths, text, gradients, and filters into pixels. The resulting pixel data is then exported as a PNG file using canvas.toBlob(), preserving transparency from the original SVG.



Because the conversion happens entirely in your browser via JavaScript and the Canvas API, your files never leave your device. You can choose custom output dimensions — since SVGs are resolution-independent, you can export at 1x, 2x, 4x, or any arbitrary size without quality loss. The PNG output supports full alpha-channel transparency, making it suitable for icons, logos, and overlays.

1. Web & App Icon Generation
Designers create icons as SVGs for scalability, but many platforms require PNG assets at specific sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 192x192, 512x512). This converter lets you export a single SVG to multiple PNG sizes for favicons, app icons, and touch icons without opening design software.



2. Social Media & Marketing Graphics
Social media platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook do not support SVG uploads for profile images or post graphics. Converting your vector logo or illustration to PNG ensures compatibility while maintaining crisp edges and transparency for overlays.



3. Email Template Assets
Most email clients (Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo Mail) have limited or no SVG support. Converting logos and decorative elements to PNG ensures they display correctly across all email clients, which is critical for newsletters and marketing campaigns.



4. Document & Presentation Embedding
Word processors and presentation tools like Microsoft Office and Google Docs handle PNG files more reliably than SVGs. Converting vector diagrams and charts to high-resolution PNGs ensures they appear correctly when printed or projected.



5. Game & UI Asset Pipelines
Game engines and some UI frameworks require raster sprite sheets. Designers create assets in vector editors for easy modification, then batch-export to PNG at the target resolution for the game engine or framework to consume.

• Export at 2x or 3x for retina displays: If your target display is 100x100 pixels, export at 200x200 or 300x300 to ensure crisp rendering on high-DPI screens like Apple Retina and 4K monitors.



• Preserve transparency: PNG supports alpha-channel transparency, so ensure your SVG background is transparent (no white rectangle behind everything) before converting if you need a see-through background.



• Check viewBox dimensions: SVGs without a proper viewBox attribute may render at unexpected sizes. If the output looks cropped or tiny, open the SVG in a text editor and verify the viewBox matches the content bounds.



• Simplify complex SVGs first: SVGs with hundreds of filter effects, embedded fonts, or external references may not render identically in a browser canvas. Flatten effects in your vector editor before converting.



• Use PNG for lossless quality: Unlike JPEG, PNG uses lossless compression, so text, sharp edges, and flat colors remain pixel-perfect. Choose PNG over JPEG for logos, icons, and screenshots.



• Mind the file size: Large-dimension PNGs (e.g., 4000x4000) can produce multi-megabyte files. If file size matters, consider exporting at the minimum resolution you actually need.



• Test on target platforms: After conversion, verify the PNG looks correct on the actual platform where it will be used — color profiles and transparency handling vary.
