How to Convert SVG to PNG
Click Browse or drag and drop your SVG file into the upload area. The tool reads the SVG's viewBox attribute to determine the natural dimensions. You can override these with custom width and height values. Click Convert & Download PNG and the PNG file downloads immediately — no server involved.
When to Use SVG vs PNG
Keep files in SVG format whenever possible: logos, icons, illustrations and charts all look crisp at any size in SVG. Convert to PNG when a platform or application doesn't support SVG — for example, 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 scale, 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 and operating systems display the image at the original logical size, but the extra pixels make it look sharper on HiDPI displays.
SVG Accessibility
SVG files can contain text, ARIA labels and semantic elements that make them accessible to screen readers. When you export to PNG, this accessibility information is lost — the PNG becomes a flat image that requires an alt attribute in HTML to remain accessible. Always add descriptive alt text when embedding the exported PNG on a web page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SVG and PNG?
SVG is a vector format that scales to any resolution without quality loss. PNG is a raster format made of pixels — enlarging it causes blurring. Use SVG for logos and icons; use PNG when vector is not supported.
Why convert SVG to PNG?
Many apps, email clients and platforms don't support SVG. PNG is universally supported for images, making it the safest choice when embedding images outside of web browsers.
Will the converted PNG be transparent?
Yes — with the transparent background toggle on, the PNG preserves alpha transparency. Turn it off to fill the background with white for documents that don't support transparency.
What resolution should I export at?
Use 1x for standard screens, 2x for retina/HiDPI displays, and 3x for ultra-high-density or print-ready assets. A 100×100 SVG at 2x becomes a 200×200 PNG displayed at 100×100 logical pixels.
