Convert SVG to PNG
SVG is vector: shapes, paths and text rather than pixels, which is why a logo stays razor sharp whether it is a favicon or a billboard. That flexibility is also its problem, because a great deal of software has no idea what to do with it. Marketplaces, print-on-demand services, office documents, email clients, social platforms and plenty of upload forms accept raster images only.

Why convert SVG to PNG?
Rasterising to PNG produces a pixel image with the transparency intact, which is what those destinations want. It is a one-way step: the result is fixed at one resolution and no longer scales without softening. Keep the SVG as the master and treat the PNG as an export, and set the width in the resize control if you need a specific size.
SVG describes images as shapes and paths instead of pixels, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size. That works brilliantly for logos and icons, but many apps, marketplaces and documents only accept raster images, which is when rendering an SVG to a pixel format becomes necessary.
PNG stores every pixel exactly as it was saved, which makes it the safe choice whenever detail matters more than file size. It supports a full alpha channel, so logos and UI elements keep clean, soft edges on any background. The tradeoff is that photos saved as PNG can get large.
What this converter does to your SVG file
The SVG is rendered by your browser's own SVG engine and captured as pixels, then written as PNG, which preserves the transparency. There is a detail here that catches other converters out: an SVG that carries only a viewBox and no explicit width and height has no intrinsic size, and a browser asked to draw it will simply guess. Rather than guess, the width and height are read out of the viewBox and written into the file before rendering, so the output matches the drawing's own coordinate space. Set a width in the resize control to render at a specific size instead. Fonts referenced by name rather than embedded are rendered with whatever your own device has available.
SVG vs PNG at a glance
| SVG | PNG | |

| Compression | Vector (no pixels) | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Logos, icons and illustrations | Logos, screenshots and graphics with transparency |
What changes when you convert SVG to PNG
| What happens | |
|---|---|
| Image quality | Depends on the quality setting above, which controls how much detail PNG keeps. |
| Transparency | Kept. PNG stores an alpha channel, so cut-out backgrounds and soft edges survive. |
| EXIF and GPS | Removed. The conversion goes through a pixel buffer, so camera data and location are not carried into the PNG file. |
| Colour profile | Not carried across. The image is handled in sRGB, which is right for the web and wrong for colour-managed print work. |
| Animation | Not applicable. SVG files here are single images. |
| File size | Varies with the content of the image. No figure is quoted here, because none has been measured on a documented test set. |

Frequently asked questions
What size will the PNG be?
The SVG's own width and height if it declares them, otherwise the dimensions taken from its viewBox. Use the resize width control to render at a specific pixel width, which is the better route when you need an exact size.
Does the PNG keep the transparent background?
Yes. PNG stores a full alpha channel, so anything transparent in the SVG stays transparent in the PNG.
Why does my text look wrong in the PNG?
Almost always because the SVG references a font by name instead of embedding it or converting it to paths. The rendering uses the fonts available on your device, so a font you do not have is substituted. Converting text to outlines in your design tool before exporting the SVG fixes it permanently.
Can I convert the PNG back to SVG afterwards?
Not meaningfully, and not here. Turning pixels into shapes is tracing, an approximation with no single correct answer, rather than a conversion. Keep the SVG as your original.
What is an SVG file?
SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without losing sharpness.
What is a PNG file?
PNG is a lossless format with transparency support, ideal for graphics, logos and screenshots.
Is it free to convert SVG to PNG?
Yes. There are no limits, no watermarks and no account needed. Convert as many SVG files as you like.
Are my files private?
Completely. Your SVG files never leave your browser and are never uploaded to a server, so your images stay on your device.
