Why convert SVG to PNG?

Converting SVG to PNG creates a widely supported, lossless raster image with transparency that can be used in environments where SVG rendering is not supported.

Will the converted PNG image scale as well as SVG?

No, PNG is a fixed-resolution raster image and will pixelate if scaled up, unlike SVG which is resolution-independent.

Are animations and scripts from SVG preserved in PNG?

No, PNG is a static image format and does not support preserving SVG animations or embedded scripts.

What Is This Tool?

This online file converter transforms SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), a resolution-independent vector format, into PNG (Portable Network Graphics), a widely supported lossless raster image format ideal for web and other uses requiring fixed-resolution images with transparency.

How to Use This Tool?

Upload your SVG file from your device into the converter interface.
Select PNG as the desired output format for your image.
Click the convert button to start the transformation process.
Download the resulting PNG file once conversion completes.
Use the PNG image in web pages, emails, CMSs, or documents where raster images are required.

Key Features

Convert SVG vector images to PNG raster format with transparency support.
Preserves lossless image quality using PNG's DEFLATE compression.
Produces fixed-resolution PNG files suitable for web, CMSs, and documents.
Supports broad compatibility across browsers, editors, and operating systems.
Simple, fast, and browser-based conversion without needing special software.

Examples

Convert a website logo.svg to logo.png for embedding in email templates requiring transparency.
Turn an interactive map.svg into a static map.png image for print preview or platforms without SVG support.
Export technical diagrams or schematics from SVG to PNG for easy sharing and archival.

Common Use Cases

Creating website-ready logos and icons from vector masters for compatibility with raster-only systems.
Exporting charts and illustrations as PNG for inclusion in documents or emails.
Generating screenshots or fixed raster copies from vector artwork for archival purposes.

Tips & Best Practices

Remember that PNG output is fixed-resolution; avoid scaling up the PNG later to prevent pixelation.
Check for advanced SVG features or filters as they may render differently or be flattened in PNG conversions.
Use PNG images when transparency and lossless quality are needed for web graphics and UI elements.
Keep in mind embedded scripts or animations in SVG will not carry over to static PNG images.
Consider file size and use PNG when lossless compression and broad support are more important than size.

Limitations

Converted PNG files lose the scalability of the original SVG vector and may pixelate when resized.
Certain advanced SVG filters or features may not render correctly or get flattened during conversion.
Interactive behaviors and animations embedded in SVG are not preserved in the static PNG format.
PNG files can be larger than lossy formats like JPEG when used for photographic content.
PNG lacks native CMYK support and full 16-bit channel consistency across all viewers.
