Quick Answer

  1. Paste your SVG code or upload an .svg file into the converter.
  2. Choose PNG (for transparency) or JPEG (for smaller files), then set your target width and height.
  3. Click Convert — the SVG renders on a browser canvas and produces a raster image.
  4. Click Download to save. No server upload, no sign-up, no watermark.

SVG files are perfect for logos, icons, and illustrations — they stay sharp at any size. But many platforms, apps, and documents don't support SVG and need a raster image instead. Converting SVG to PNG or JPEG lets you use the same graphic everywhere without redesigning it.

How to Convert SVG to PNG in 4 Steps

Step 1: Input your SVG

You can either upload an .svg file (up to 10 MB) by clicking the upload area, or paste SVG code directly into the text area. The tool validates the SVG before converting — if the code is malformed, you'll see a clear error message.

Not sure what SVG code looks like? Click Load Sample to see an example gradient circle, then convert it immediately to understand what the tool produces.

Step 2: Choose the output format

Two options are available:

  • PNG — lossless, supports full transparency. Use this for logos, icons, and any graphic that needs a clear background. File sizes are larger than JPEG for complex images.
  • JPEG / JPG — lossy compression, no transparency. Use this when file size matters more than a pixel-perfect background. Quality setting (1–100) controls the compression level; 85–95 is a good balance of quality and size.

Step 3: Set dimensions and scale

The tool offers two ways to control output resolution:

SettingRangeWhat it controls
Width1–4096 pxThe pixel width of the output image canvas
Height1–4096 pxThe pixel height of the output image canvas
Scale0.1–5×Multiplies the canvas resolution — use 2× for HiDPI / retina displays
Preserve Aspect RatioOn / OffKeeps the SVG's original proportions when resizing

A common pattern for high-resolution output: set width and height to the intended display size (e.g., 800 × 800) and use Scale 2× or 3×. The resulting image will be 1600 × 1600 or 2400 × 2400 pixels — sharp on any screen.

Step 4: Convert and download

Click Convert. The tool renders the SVG on an HTML canvas inside your browser and generates the output image. Conversion usually takes less than a second for simple SVGs; complex SVGs with many paths or gradients may take a few seconds (the tool has a 30-second timeout for very complex files).

After conversion, the image preview appears and a Download button saves the file to your device. The conversion history panel lets you re-download any previous result from the current session.

Background Color and Transparency

Two options control what appears behind your SVG content:

  • Transparent Background (PNG only) — when enabled, any area of the canvas not covered by SVG content is transparent in the output. This is the correct setting for logos and icons that need to appear on different-coloured backgrounds.
  • Background Color — when transparent background is disabled, the canvas is filled with the chosen colour before rendering the SVG. Useful for JPEG output (which cannot store transparency) or when you want a consistent background regardless of the destination.

If you choose JPEG output and enable transparent background, the transparent areas will render as white — JPEG does not support an alpha channel.

Advanced Options

Remove styles

Enabling Remove Styles strips all inline style attributes and <style> blocks from the SVG before conversion. This is useful when you want to apply your own CSS via the Custom CSS field, or when an SVG has styles that produce an unexpected result in the raster output.

Custom CSS

The Custom CSS field lets you inject CSS rules that apply to the SVG during rendering. For example, you can override a fill colour, adjust font sizes, or change stroke widths without modifying the original SVG source. This is handy for generating multiple colour variants of the same SVG without maintaining separate files.

When to Convert SVG to PNG vs Keep the SVG

SituationKeep SVGConvert to PNG/JPEG
Website logo or icon✓ — scales to all screen sizes
Email attachment or embed✓ — email clients often block SVG
Social media profile image✓ — most platforms require raster
App store icon✓ — required format for iOS/Android
CSS background or button icon✓ — easier to animate and style
Word / Google Docs document✓ — Office and Docs have limited SVG support
Print-ready artwork✓ — keep vector for maximum DPI
Sharing with non-designers✓ — PNG opens on any device

Common Issues and Fixes

Output looks blurry or pixelated

The output dimensions are too small for the display size. Increase width/height, or raise Scale to 2× or higher. For a logo displayed at 400 × 400 pixels on a retina screen, export at 800 × 800 (Scale 2×).

Fonts render differently or fall back

The SVG references a font that is not available in the browser at conversion time. Embed the font as a base64 data URI inside the SVG's <defs> block, or convert the text to outlines in your design tool before exporting the SVG.

Conversion timed out

Very complex SVGs with thousands of paths or heavy filter effects may take longer than 30 seconds to render via canvas. Try reducing the scale, simplifying the SVG in a design tool (Inkscape, Figma, Illustrator), or exporting the SVG at a lower complexity level before converting.

Transparent background shows as white in JPEG

This is expected behaviour — JPEG does not support an alpha channel. Switch the output format to PNG to preserve transparency. If you need a JPEG, set a background colour that matches the destination (e.g., white for most documents).
