SVG to PNG Converter

What happens when you convert SVG to PNG

• The image is decoded and written as a lossless 32-bit PNG.
• SVG is a vector format, so it is rendered to pixels at the width you choose, 1024 pixels by default. Pick the largest size you will need, because the PNG cannot be scaled up cleanly afterwards.

How to convert SVG to PNG online

1. Press "Choose SVG files" and select one or more files, or drag them onto the box. You can add files of any size your device can hold in memory.
2. Adjust the settings if you need to. The output is lossless, so there is no quality setting to worry about.
3. Press "Convert to PNG". Images convert in a second or two each.
4. Save each PNG with its download button. Close the tab and every trace of the files is gone from memory.

Why convert SVG to PNG?

SVG files usually come from logos, icons, charts and illustrations on the web. People convert them to PNG because PNG keeps sharp edges, text and transparency without any loss.

In short, SVG is good at what it was made for, and PNG is the more practical choice when the file has to open, upload or print somewhere else. SVG renders natively in every browser, while PNG opens in every browser and image viewer.

How to convert SVG to PNG on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android

On Windows

Open this page in Chrome, Edge or Firefox, drag your SVG files in from File Explorer, and press Convert. Each PNG is saved to your Downloads folder. Paint can also re-save an image as PNG with Save as, provided Windows can open the SVG in the first place.

On a Mac

Safari, Chrome and Firefox all work. Drag the SVG files from Finder onto the drop zone and the PNG files land in Downloads.

On iPhone and iPad

Open the page in Safari and tap Choose SVG files. You can pick from Photos or from the Files app. The converted PNG appears in Files, in the Downloads folder; to put it in your photo library, open it there, tap Share and choose Save Image.

On Android

Open the page in Chrome, tap Choose SVG files and pick them from Files or your gallery. The PNG is saved to the Download folder, where any file manager can find it.

Best settings for SVG to PNG

PNG is written losslessly, so there is no quality setting to get wrong. The Maximum width setting is there if you need a smaller image: it scales down before saving and never scales up.

SVG vs PNG: the differences

About SVG and PNG files

What is an SVG file?

SVG describes shapes as text instructions, so it stays sharp at any size and a simple logo can be under 5 KB. Turning it into pixels fixes it at one resolution, so choose the output size before converting.

What is a PNG file?

PNG compresses without losing a single pixel, so screenshots and text stay razor sharp, but a photograph saved as PNG is often three to five times the size of the same photo as JPG.

SVG to PNG not working? Common problems

• Colours look slightly different. Browsers convert images to the standard sRGB colour space when they decode them, so wide-gamut and CMYK images can shift a little.
• A phone photo comes out upright even though it looked sideways elsewhere. That is correct: the rotation stored in the photo is applied during conversion, so the PNG is always the right way up.
• The file is bigger than expected. An SVG is a short list of drawing instructions, while the PNG stores every pixel, so the output is normally larger and grows with the width you choose.

Convert SVG to PNG from the command line

If you work in a terminal, ImageMagick converts SVG to PNG in one line:

magick input.svg output.png

To convert every SVG in a folder at once, use magick mogrify -format png *.svg. For best results with SVG, set the size with -density or -resize. The converter on this page does the same job without installing anything.
