How to convert SVG to PNG
SVG is a vector format: it describes shapes in code and stays sharp at any size. It is perfect for logos and icons, but many social networks, document editors and platforms will not accept it as an image.
This converter renders your SVG and saves it as PNG, a pixel image with a transparent background you can use anywhere.
Step by step
- Click Select file and choose the .svg file (up to 50 MB).
- Check that Convert to shows PNG.
- Click Convert image to PNG.
- Download the PNG and check that text and colours look as expected.
Size of the resulting PNG
The SVG is rasterised to fit inside a 2048 × 2048 pixel box while keeping its proportions. A square logo comes out at 2048 × 2048 and a wide one at 2048 pixels across. That is plenty for presentations, documents and social media.
Transparency is preserved: unfilled areas of the SVG stay transparent in the PNG.
SVGs that cannot be converted, and tips
For security, the SVG has to be self-contained. Files with scripts, externally linked images or resources, embedded HTML (foreignObject) or DOCTYPE declarations are rejected. If your SVG uses bitmap images, they must be embedded inside the file itself.
If the SVG contains text in a special typeface that is not installed on the server, it will be drawn in a different font. To avoid this, convert text to outlines in your vector editor before exporting the SVG.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I choose the size in pixels?
- No. The PNG is generated to fit within 2048 pixels per side, keeping the SVG's aspect ratio.
- Will the PNG have a transparent background?
- Yes, transparent areas in the SVG are kept.
- Why does it say my SVG contains external resources?
- The file links to images, fonts or stylesheets elsewhere. Embed them in the SVG or remove them and try again.
- Why does my logo text use a different font?
- The font was not available. Convert the text to outlines before exporting the SVG.
- Can I get a JPG instead?
- Yes, choose JPG as the target, but transparent areas will turn white.
