Free SVG to PNG Converter
Convert SVG vector graphics to PNG, JPEG, or WebP raster images directly in your browser. Control output dimensions, scale for high-DPI displays (@1x–@4x), and set a background color — no server, no upload.

How to Convert SVG to PNG
- Upload your SVG — drag and drop a
.svgfile, click “Choose SVG File”, paste SVG markup from your clipboard, or load the built-in example. - Set dimensions — the tool auto-detects the SVG width and height. Override them as needed.
- Pick a scale factor — @2x for Retina displays (2× pixel density), @3x / @4x for very high-res exports.
- Choose format — PNG for transparency support, JPEG for smaller photos, WebP for modern web use.
- Set background — keep transparent (PNG/WebP only) or fill with white, black, or a custom color.
- Click Convert and then Download.
SVG vs PNG — Key Differences
| Property | SVG | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Vector (scalable) | Raster (pixel-based) |
| Scalability | Infinite without quality loss | Fixed resolution; blurs when upscaled |
| Transparency | Yes (alpha channel) | Yes (alpha channel) |
| Browser support | All modern browsers (inline in HTML) | Universal |
| Use cases | Logos, icons, illustrations, charts | Screenshots, product images, thumbnails |
When should you convert SVG to PNG?
- Email clients — most email clients do not render SVG reliably. Convert to PNG for consistent display.
- Social media uploads — platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram accept PNG/JPEG but reject SVG files.
- Open Graph / meta images — meta tag preview images must be raster formats. Export at 1200 × 630 px for best results.
- Legacy software — older design or productivity tools may lack SVG support.
- PDF embedding — some PDF generators handle raster images more reliably than SVG.
Understanding Scale Factors (@1x, @2x, @3x, @4x)
A scale factor multiplies the base dimensions to produce a higher-resolution raster image. For example, a 100 × 100 SVG converted at @2x produces a 200 × 200 PNG — which looks sharp on Retina and HiDPI displays that have a pixel density of 2.
| Scale | Use Case | Example (100×100 SVG) |
|---|---|---|
| @1x | Standard displays | 100 × 100 px |
| @2x | Retina / HiDPI (most modern screens) | 200 × 200 px |
| @3x | High-end mobile (iPhone, Pixel Pro) | 300 × 300 px |
| @4x | Print or very high-res assets | 400 × 400 px |
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my SVG file uploaded to a server?
No. All conversion happens inside your browser using the Canvas API. Your SVG data never leaves your device.
Why does the output look different from the original SVG?
The Canvas API renders SVG using the browser's built-in SVG engine, so the output should be nearly identical. However, some advanced SVG features — like external font references, CSS stylesheets, or certain filters — may render differently. Ensure your SVG is self-contained (all styles and fonts embedded).
Does PNG support transparent backgrounds?
Yes. Select Transparent as the background to preserve the SVG's alpha channel in the PNG output. JPEG does not support transparency — choose white or another background color for JPEG exports.
What SVG features are supported?
All SVG features supported by your browser are supported here — this includes gradients, filters, masks, clip paths, animations (first frame only), and embedded images.
