SVG to PNG Converter

When to Convert SVG to PNG

Keep files in SVG format whenever possible — logos, icons, illustrations and charts all look crisp at any size. Convert to PNG when a platform doesn't support SVG: most email clients, Microsoft Office, and many CMS image uploaders require raster formats like PNG or JPEG.

Retina / HiDPI Export

A standard 1x export maps one SVG unit to one pixel. At 2x, a 200×200 SVG produces a 400×400 PNG — ideal for retina MacBooks and iPhones. At 3x, it produces a 600×600 PNG for ultra-high-density screens. Browsers display the image at the original logical size, but the extra pixels make it sharper on HiDPI displays.

Common Platforms That Require PNG Instead of SVG

• Email clients — Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail do not render SVG inline. Always attach or embed a PNG version of a logo or icon in email templates.
• Microsoft Office — Word, PowerPoint and Excel accept SVG in newer versions, but older installations require PNG or JPEG for reliable display.
• Social media — Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram all require raster images for profile pictures, post images and thumbnails.
• WordPress and most CMS — the media library blocks SVG uploads by default for security reasons; PNG uploads work universally.
• Mobile apps — native iOS and Android apps frequently use PNG assets in their image libraries rather than SVG.

SVG Limitations This Tool Works Around

SVG files that reference external fonts or use <image> tags with cross-origin URLs may not render correctly when converted in the browser due to CORS restrictions. If your SVG uses a custom web font, the exported PNG will fall back to the system default font. Embed fonts as base64 data URIs inside the SVG, or use a system font stack, for guaranteed accurate output.
