SVG to PNG Converter
Quick answer
Rasterise a vector SVG into a PNG at a specific pixel size, 1x, 2x, 4x, or a custom width, for anywhere that needs a fixed-size image rather than a scalable one, like an app store listing or a social media profile.
What the svg to png converter does
An SVG has no fixed resolution: it is a set of mathematical instructions for drawing shapes, so it can be rendered at any size, from a favicon to a billboard, without losing sharpness. A PNG is the opposite, a fixed grid of pixels decided the moment it is created. Converting from one to the other means picking that size up front, since there is no such thing as a resolution-independent PNG.
The 1x, 2x, and 4x presets map onto how the image will actually be displayed: 1x for a pixel-for-pixel size, 2x or 4x if the PNG needs to look sharp on high-density phone and laptop screens, which render at two to four times the pixel density of an older standard monitor. Custom lets you set an exact width or height when a platform specifies precise dimensions, such as an app icon or a social profile photo.
One limit worth knowing before you export: SVGs can reference external resources, like a web font or a remotely hosted image, through a URL inside the file. Since this conversion never fetches anything from the network, an SVG built that way may rasterise with a fallback font or a missing image. SVGs with everything embedded inline convert exactly as designed.
How to use it
Upload the SVG
Drag or browse the vector file.
Choose an export size
Pick 1x, 2x, or 4x, or enter a custom pixel width for an exact requirement.
Preview the render
Check that any text or embedded images appear as expected, particularly if the SVG references external fonts.
Download the PNG
The result is a fixed-size raster image ready for anywhere SVG is not accepted.
Your images never leave your device
Rendering happens locally in your browser using the same engine that draws any web page, which matters if the SVG is an unreleased product logo a design team is finalising before a public announcement. Exporting a PNG preview for internal review does not require uploading that mark anywhere before it has even been trademarked.
- No file is ever uploaded to a server
- Works offline after the first visit
- No account, no watermark, no limits
Format and quality tips
Export at the highest size you might plausibly need
You can always scale a large PNG down later with no quality loss. Going the other way, enlarging a small PNG, introduces blur the original vector never had.
Embed fonts and images before exporting
Check whether your design tool offers an option to inline fonts and images rather than link to them externally, since this conversion only renders what is already inside the file.
Frequently asked questions
What size should I export my SVG as a PNG?
Match it to where it will be used: 1x for the exact display size, 2x or 4x for sharpness on high-density screens, or a custom width if a specific platform, like an app store listing, requires exact dimensions.
Why does my SVG look different after converting to PNG?
This usually happens when the SVG references an external font or a remotely hosted image through a URL. Since the conversion never fetches anything from the network, those references may fall back to a default rather than the intended asset.
Can I resize a PNG exported from an SVG later without losing quality?
You can scale it down safely. Scaling it up beyond its exported size will introduce blur, since a PNG has no vector data left to redraw from at a larger size.
Why does a PNG need a fixed size but an SVG does not?
An SVG stores drawing instructions that can be redrawn at any size. A PNG stores an actual grid of pixels decided at export time, so once created it has one fixed resolution.
What is the difference between 1x, 2x, and 4x export?
They are multiples of the base pixel size. 2x and 4x produce a larger image intended to look crisp on high pixel-density phone and laptop screens rather than a standard monitor.
Does converting SVG to PNG keep transparency?
Yes, any transparent areas defined in the SVG carry through to the PNG exactly, since PNG fully supports an alpha channel.
