SVG to PNG Converter
SVG to PNG conversion rasterizes vector graphics into pixel-based images. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) uses mathematical shapes - infinite scalability, small file size. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses pixels - fixed size, supports transparency, larger files. Conversion process: render SVG at specified dimensions (width × height), export as PNG bitmap. Use cases: email signatures (email clients often block SVG), older browser support (IE8-), social media uploads (most require PNG/JPEG), print materials (high DPI rasterization). Quality settings: 72 DPI for web, 300 DPI for print. Transparency preserved in PNG output. Resolution: higher pixel dimensions = sharper image but larger file. Client-side conversion using HTML Canvas API - no server uploads.
Convert SVG files to PNG images with custom dimensions and backgrounds. Upload SVG or paste code. Choose from size presets (16x16 to 1024x1024) or set custom dimensions. Add transparent, white, or custom background colors. Perfect for icons, logos, and graphics conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is SVG and why convert to PNG?
- SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector format using XML to describe shapes, lines, and colors. SVGs scale infinitely without quality loss. Convert to PNG (raster format) for compatibility with platforms that do not support SVG (older browsers, email, some social media), for fixed-size graphics (icons, logos), or when raster output is required (printing, specific design tools). PNG supports transparency and is widely compatible.
- What PNG size should I export my SVG to?
- Common sizes: 16×16px, 32×32px (favicon), 48×48px, 64×64px, 128×128px (app icons), 256×256px, 512×512px (high-res icons), 1024×1024px (Apple app store). For web use, 2x or 3x sizes for retina displays (e.g., export 64×64 SVG icon to 128×128 or 192×192 PNG). For logos, 500-1000px wide is typical. Export multiple sizes for responsive design. Larger is better (you can downsize), but file size increases.
- Should I use transparent or white background for PNG export?
- Use transparent background for icons, logos, and graphics that overlay other content. This allows the background to show through, making the graphic versatile. Use white (or colored) background for standalone images, social media graphics, or when transparency is not needed. Transparency increases file size slightly. For web, provide transparent PNGs for flexibility; for print, consider white or colored backgrounds to ensure visibility.
- Why is my SVG to PNG conversion blurry?
- Blurriness occurs when exporting to a resolution too small for the intended use. SVGs are resolution-independent, but PNGs have fixed pixel dimensions. If you export a large SVG to 64×64px and then display it at 500×500px, it will appear blurry. Solution: export SVG to PNG at the exact display size or larger (2x-3x for retina displays). For responsive web design, export multiple sizes.
- What is the difference between SVG and PNG?
- SVG is vector-based (mathematical descriptions of shapes), infinitely scalable, small file size (text-based), editable with code, and best for logos, icons, illustrations. PNG is raster-based (grid of pixels), fixed resolution, larger file size, not easily editable, and best for photos, screenshots, complex graphics. SVG requires modern browser support; PNG is universally supported. Choose SVG for scalability, PNG for compatibility.
- Can I batch convert multiple SVG files to PNG?
- Yes, use batch conversion tools: online services (CloudConvert, Convertio), desktop software (Inkscape batch export, Adobe Illustrator actions), or command-line tools (ImageMagick, rsvg-convert, cairosvg for Python). For automation, integrate into build pipelines using Node.js libraries (sharp, svg2png) or Python (cairosvg, svglib). Specify output dimensions, background color, and naming conventions for efficient bulk conversion.
- Does SVG to PNG conversion support animations or interactivity?
- No, PNG is a static image format. SVG animations (SMIL animations, CSS animations) and interactivity (JavaScript, links) will not convert. Only the first frame or default state of animated SVGs converts to PNG. For animated graphics, use animated GIF, APNG (animated PNG, limited support), WebP (animated), or video formats (MP4, WebM). For interactivity, keep as SVG or use HTML5 canvas.
- How do I maintain aspect ratio when converting SVG to PNG?
- Most SVG-to-PNG converters maintain aspect ratio automatically if you specify only width or only height (the other dimension scales proportionally). To force specific dimensions without distortion, ensure your SVG has a viewBox attribute defining the original aspect ratio. If you specify both width and height with different aspect ratios, the converter may crop, stretch, or add padding. For best results, specify one dimension and let the other scale.
