Convert / SVG to PNG
Convert SVG to PNG Online
Rasterize SVG vector graphics into PNG images for the many places that will not accept an SVG. Rendered by your browser, with no upload.
Why Convert SVG to PNG?
Platforms that reject SVG
Instagram, most email clients, Word, PowerPoint and many CMS uploaders refuse SVG outright, usually for security reasons.
Guaranteed identical rendering
An SVG depends on the viewer's font and renderer. A PNG is fixed pixels, so it looks the same everywhere.
Transparency preserved
The transparent regions of the SVG stay transparent in the PNG, so logos drop onto any background.
Rendered by your browser
The same engine that draws the SVG on screen produces the PNG, locally, with no upload and no daily limit.
SVG vs PNG, measured
SVG stores shapes rather than pixels, so one small file is sharp at every size. PNG stores a fixed grid, so each size you need is a separate export that gets rapidly heavier. Rasterizing is the right move when something cannot read SVG; it is a downgrade everywhere else.
| Measure | SVG | PNG 512px | PNG 1024px | PNG 2048px |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| File size | 452 bytes | 4,388 bytes | 10,935 bytes | 30,600 bytes |
| Sharp at any size | Yes | No | No | No |
| Files needed for 4 sizes | 1 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Editable as shapes afterwards | Yes | No | No | No |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Measured on this project's own 512px app icon rasterized with sharp. A 128px export of the same icon is 953 bytes, still more than twice the whole SVG. Convert when a target cannot read SVG, for example an email client, an older CMS, or a social preview image; keep the SVG as the master.
Questions
What resolution will the PNG be?
It matches the SVG's own width and height attributes. An SVG declared at 100x100 rasterizes to a 100x100 PNG, so edit those attributes first if you need it larger.
Why does my text look different?
SVG text renders with whatever font the browser can resolve. If the SVG references a font you do not have installed, a fallback is substituted. Convert text to paths in your vector editor to avoid this.
Do I lose the ability to scale it?
Yes, and that is the tradeoff. PNG is fixed pixels and will blur when enlarged. Keep the original SVG as your master copy.
Are external images inside the SVG included?
Only if they are embedded as data URIs. SVGs that link to external files render those as blank, since the browser blocks the fetch during conversion.
Is the file uploaded?
No. SVG rasterization happens in your browser and is not rate limited.
This one never leaves your device
Your browser does this conversion itself, with no upload and nothing counted against the daily limit. Close the tab mid-way and the file was never anywhere but your machine.
