How to convert SVG to PNG
- 1. Add SVG filesClick Choose SVG files or drop them onto the box. You can add several logos or icons at once.
- 2. Pick a size, then click ConvertChoose 1×, 2× (the default), 4× or 8× the SVG's own size. Rendering starts when you click Convert.
- 3. Download the PNGsDownload each PNG separately, or use Download all (.zip) to save the whole set.
Vector in, pixels out
An SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file describes shapes, paths and text as instructions, not pixels. That's why it stays sharp at any size. SVG became a W3C Recommendation in 2001 and is now the standard way to ship logos and icons on the web.
A PNG is a grid of pixels. Many places can't take SVG, for security or simplicity: social networks, email signatures, office documents, app stores and most chat apps. Converting "rasterizes" the vector drawing into a PNG at a fixed size.
| SVG | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Vector (shapes described in XML) | Raster (grid of pixels) |
| Scales without blurring | Yes, to any size | No, fixed resolution |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Logos, icons, diagrams on the web | Anywhere that needs a normal image |
| Editable as text | Yes | No |
| Accepted by social media, email, office apps | Rarely | Almost always |
| Standard | W3C, 2001 | 1996 |
Choosing the output size
The Size option multiplies the dimensions the SVG declares for itself (its width and height, or its viewBox if none are set). For a logo drawn at 200 × 100:
- 1× gives 200 × 100 pixels, the SVG's natural size.
- 2× (default) gives 400 × 200, sharp on high-density "Retina" screens.
- 4× gives 800 × 400, good for slides and print.
- 8× gives 1600 × 800, for large prints, banners or a 4K-wide image from a large SVG.
Transparency is kept
Anything the SVG doesn't paint stays transparent in the PNG. A logo on a clear background remains a logo on a clear background, ready to place over any color. If you see a white box, the SVG itself contains a white rectangle behind the artwork.
Safe rendering, and what may not show
SVG files can contain scripts. Here they're rendered the way a browser shows an image, which means scripts never run. That's safer, but it has consequences worth knowing:
- Web fonts loaded from elsewhere may not be used, so text can fall back to a default font. For exact typography, convert text to outlines in your design app before exporting the SVG.
- External images linked by URL may not appear. Images embedded inside the SVG file work.
- Animations and interactive parts are captured as a single still frame.

Frequently asked questions
Are my SVG files uploaded?
No. Each SVG is rendered to PNG inside your browser, on your device, and never uploaded. The page loads code, ads and cookieless analytics like any website, but your files stay local. See how to check.
How do I get a high-resolution PNG from an SVG?
Set Size to 4× or 8× before you click Convert. Because SVG is vector, the larger PNG is just as sharp as the small one.
Can I convert an SVG to a 4K PNG?
It depends on the SVG's own size. 8× turns a 480-pixel-wide SVG into 3840 pixels, which is 4K width. Check the SVG's width in a text editor if you need an exact result.
Can I set an exact width and height?
Not yet. The tool scales the SVG's own dimensions by 1×, 2×, 4× or 8×. To hit an exact size, set the width and height in the SVG first, or pick the nearest scale and resize the PNG.
Does SVG to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. Areas the SVG leaves empty stay transparent in the PNG.
Why does the text in my PNG look different?
The SVG probably uses a web font that isn't embedded. When it's rendered as an image, external fonts may not load, so a fallback font appears. Convert text to paths in your design tool and try again.
Is it safe to convert SVG files from the internet?
SVGs are rendered as images, so any scripts inside them don't run during conversion.
