How to convert SVG to PNG
- Add your .SVG file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .PNG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .PNG file.
What to expect
- PNG is pixel-based - export at the largest size you realistically need, because upscaling the
.pnglater will cause blur. - Transparency carries over correctly to PNG; if you need a white background instead, set one in your editor before exporting.
- If the SVG uses custom fonts, convert text to outlines (paths) before exporting to avoid font substitution in the output.
Frequently asked questions
Does the PNG keep the transparent background from the SVG?
Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas in the
.svg remain transparent in the .png as long as you do not set a solid background color during export.What pixel size should I use?
For screen and web use, export at the largest display size you need. For print, target at least 300 ppi at the final print dimensions.
Why does the converted PNG look different from the SVG in my browser?
The most common cause is a missing font - the converter substitutes another typeface. Convert all text to outlines in Inkscape before exporting to prevent this.
Can I convert many SVGs at once?
Yes - ImageMagick supports batch conversion from the command line, and Inkscape can be scripted in headless mode for bulk exports.
