What Is SVG to PNG Converter?
SVG to PNG Converter renders vector SVG files as rasterized PNG images at any resolution you choose. SVGs are scalable but not supported everywhere — many social platforms, email clients, and document editors require raster image formats like PNG.
How to Use This Tool
Upload an SVG file or paste SVG code, set your desired output dimensions (width and height in pixels), and click convert. The tool renders the vector graphic onto a canvas at your chosen resolution and exports it as a PNG. Everything runs in your browser — no server processing needed.
Why Use SVG to PNG Converter?
Screenshotting an SVG produces blurry, imprecise results. This tool renders at the exact pixel dimensions you specify, preserving crisp edges and accurate colors. It’s free, runs client-side for full privacy, and handles complex SVGs with gradients, filters, and embedded fonts. For a detailed walkthrough, see our step-by-step guide.

Common Use Cases
Producing favicon, app icon, or social-share image variants from a single SVG logo, where the destinations need raster PNGs at specific pixel sizes. Embedding a vector illustration into a Word document, PowerPoint, or email signature where SVG support is poor or non-existent. Generating preview thumbnails of icon-set members for a documentation site, where the page renders faster with PNG sprites than with hundreds of inline SVGs.
Submitting a vector logo to a print shop or merchandise vendor whose intake form only accepts raster formats. Capturing a known-good rendering of a complex SVG with embedded fonts and filter effects, so downstream consumers see the intended result instead of a font-substituted or filter-stripped version. Building thumbnail previews of SVG illustrations for a marketplace listing where consistent dimensions matter more than vector fidelity.
Worked example: what size PNG you get
The base size comes from the SVG's width and height when they are plain numbers or pixels; otherwise from the viewBox; otherwise 300 × 300. The scale buttons multiply it. We converted three files in Chromium:
| SVG | 1× | 2× | 4× |
|---|---|---|---|
width="24" height="24" icon | 24 × 24 | 48 × 48 | 96 × 96 |
viewBox="0 0 512 512" only | 512 × 512 | 1024 × 1024 | 2048 × 2048 |
width="10cm" height="5cm" viewBox="0 0 400 200" | 400 × 200 | 800 × 400 | 1600 × 800 |
The third row is why units matter: before this check, a size in centimetres was read as pixels and produced a 20 × 10 image at 2×; the converter now falls back to the viewBox for %, em, cm, mm, pt and in. For icons, export at the largest size the destination needs (for example 4× a 24 px icon for a 96 px slot) rather than scaling a small PNG up later. The SVG is drawn as an image, so it cannot load external files: fonts or images it links to by URL will be missing, while ones embedded as data URIs render.
