SVG is ideal for logos and icons on the web — infinite scaling, small file sizes, and crisp edges at any resolution. But slides, email templates, legacy CMS fields, and some app stores still want PNG.

The SVG to PNG Converter rasterizes SVG markup to PNG entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

When to convert SVG to PNG

ScenarioWhy PNG
PowerPoint / Google SlidesMany decks embed raster images more reliably than inline SVG
Email headersSome clients ignore SVG or mishandle transparent PNGs
App store assetsFixed pixel dimensions (e.g. 512×512) are often required
Social previewsPlatforms may reject SVG uploads

Optimize the SVG first with the SVG Optimizer if the source is bloated from a design export — smaller SVG means faster local conversion.

Step-by-step

  1. Paste or upload your .svg file.
  2. Set output width — height follows the SVG aspect ratio automatically.
  3. Adjust scale (0.5×–4×) for retina or thumbnail exports without editing the viewBox.
  4. Optional background — enable a solid color when you need an opaque PNG instead of transparency.
  5. Download the previewed PNG.

Tips for clean exports

  • viewBox matters. The tool reads viewBox or width/height to determine natural dimensions. Missing dimensions default to 512×512.
  • External assets won't load. Fonts referenced by URL and external <image href="…"> may not render — convert text to paths in your design tool or embed assets inline.
  • Retina without re-exporting. Keep width at the design size and set scale to 2 for a 2× PNG.

Privacy

Conversion uses the Canvas API locally. Your SVG never leaves your device — safe for client logos and unreleased product icons.
