Convert SVG to PNG Online — Free
Convert SVG to PNG online — pick the output resolution and get a clean, lossless raster image from your vector. Transparency preserved end-to-end.
How to convert SVG to PNG
- 1
Add your SVG file
Drop or select a .svg file. Files up to 50MB process locally in your browser — nothing uploaded.
- 2
Run the conversion
We render your SVG to a Canvas at the resolution you choose, then export as PNG with DEFLATE compression. SVG attributes like viewBox, gradients, CSS styles, clipping paths, and embedded fonts are preserved during rendering through the browser's native SVG engine.
- 3
Download your PNG
One click saves the result as a .png file. Your original file stays on your device.
Why convert SVG to PNG?
PNG is required when an app or platform doesn't accept SVG — social media uploads (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn photo posts all require raster), email signatures that render in Outlook or Gmail (SVG support is inconsistent), older presentation software, and print workflows that need fixed-resolution bitmaps. PNG also preserves SVG's transparency cleanly, making it ideal for logos and icons.
Common SVG to PNG use cases
- Exporting a brand logo from SVG to PNG at 512×512 for a LinkedIn company page or Twitter profile image
- Rendering SVG icons at 2× retina resolution for inclusion in a design file, Sketch library, or Figma asset
- Creating PNG favicon and app icon exports from an SVG source at multiple resolutions (16, 32, 64, 192, 512 px)
- Preparing SVG illustrations for an email newsletter where SVG support varies across clients (Outlook strips SVG entirely)
What file size to expect
A simple SVG logo rendered at 512×512 produces a PNG of 15-60 KB, depending on complexity and transparency. The same SVG at 2048×2048 produces 50-300 KB. The SVG source file itself is typically 2-20 KB — much smaller, but only when the renderer (browser, app) supports SVG.
Technical notes: SVG → PNG
The browser's SVG renderer handles CSS styling, gradients (linearGradient, radialGradient), filters (feGaussianBlur, feDropShadow), clipPath, mask, and embedded or externally-linked fonts. Anti-aliasing is applied at the chosen pixel resolution, so higher resolutions produce cleaner edges. If the SVG references external images (<image href='...'>), the browser must be able to fetch them (same-origin or CORS-enabled). Embedded base64 images work universally. SVG animations (SMIL, CSS, JS) are flattened to the frame rendered at conversion time.
Compatibility and browser support
PNG is universally supported. SVG rendering requires a browser with a capable SVG engine (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — all fine since 2015). Very complex SVGs with JavaScript-driven content may not render correctly because the Canvas snapshot happens after static rendering only.

Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution should I pick?
Match your use case: favicons need 16/32/64/192/512, social media logos need 1024+, print needs 300 DPI at the final print size. SVG scales losslessly so pick any output resolution.
Will transparency be preserved?
Yes — PNG fully supports SVG's transparent background and any semi-transparent fills. Alpha channel is maintained end-to-end.
What about SVG animations?
PNG is a static format. CSS/SMIL/JS animations are flattened to the rendered frame (typically the initial state). For animated output, render each frame individually and combine.
Do embedded fonts work?
Fonts referenced via @font-face or <style> tags render correctly if the font is available in the browser. For guaranteed consistency, convert text to paths in your SVG editor before uploading.
External image references?
<image href='url'> must be same-origin or CORS-enabled to render. Base64-embedded images (<image href='data:image/png;base64,...'>) always work.
Can I batch-convert multiple SVGs?
Yes — drop several at once and each is rendered at your chosen resolution. Files stay local; nothing uploads.
