SVG to PNG Converter
Convert SVG graphics to high-quality PNG images with custom resolution and transparent background support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution should I use?
1x for standard screens, 2x for Retina displays (Apple devices), 3x or 4x for high-DPI printing or large displays.
Will transparent backgrounds be preserved?
Yes, if your SVG has no background fill, the PNG output will have a transparent alpha channel.
Can I batch convert multiple SVG files?
Currently supports single file conversion. Batch conversion feature is planned for future updates.
What SVG features are supported?
Most standard SVG features including paths, shapes, gradients, and transforms. Complex filters or animations may not render perfectly.
What is SVG?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format. Unlike raster formats (PNG, JPEG), SVG stores shapes, paths, and text as mathematical descriptions — meaning it can be scaled to any size with zero loss of quality. SVG is ideal for logos, icons, illustrations, and data visualizations.
SVG files are typically 10–100× smaller than equivalent PNG files for simple graphics. They can be embedded directly in HTML, styled with CSS, and animated with JavaScript or SMIL.
When to Convert SVG to PNG
| Scenario | Keep SVG | Convert to PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Website icons & logos | ✅ inline SVG or <img> | If IE11 support needed |
| Email templates | ⚠️ limited client support | ✅ universal support |
| App store icons | ✅ source file | ✅ required submission format |
| Social media images | ❌ not accepted | ✅ PNG/JPEG required |
| High-DPI print (300 DPI+) | ✅ use SVG directly | ✅ at 4× or higher scale |
| favicon.ico | ✅ favicon.svg (modern) | ✅ PNG for older browsers |
Choosing the Right Resolution
- 1× (72 DPI equivalent) — standard screens; use when file size matters and the image won't be scaled up.
- 2× (Retina) — Apple Retina, most modern Android phones. The most common export scale for web assets.
- 3× (High-DPI) — flagship Android phones (Pixel, Samsung Galaxy). Required for Play Store icon guidelines.
- 4× — large print, posters, or use cases where you need a very large PNG fallback from a small SVG source.
