What is an SVG file?
SVG is a vector format written as text. Instead of pixels it stores shapes, paths and colours, so logos and icons stay sharp at any size. That same property is what many apps cannot handle, which is why social platforms, slide tools and email often ask for a PNG instead.
Why convert SVG to PNG
A PNG opens everywhere and keeps a transparent background, which suits logos and icons. Because the SVG is drawn fresh at the size you pick, choosing 2x or 4x gives a crisp PNG for high resolution screens or print.
How to convert SVG to PNG
- Drop one or more SVG files onto the box above.
- Pick a scale. 1x uses the size written in the SVG, 4x is four times larger.
- Press Convert to PNG and save the images or the zip.
Nothing is uploaded. The conversion runs inside your own browser, so your files never touch a server and there is no queue, no size cap and no sign up.
SVG to PNG questions
Is the transparent background kept?
Yes. Anything the SVG leaves empty stays transparent in the PNG.
Why does my text look different in the PNG?
Browsers do not load external fonts or images when an SVG is drawn as a picture. Text set in a font you do not have installed falls back to a similar one. Convert the text to outlines in your design tool first for an exact match.
What size will the PNG be?
The width and height written in the SVG, multiplied by the scale you pick. If the SVG only has a viewBox, that size is used instead.
