Convert SVG to PNG
Convert SVG vector files to PNG raster images directly in your browser. Ideal when you need a fixed-resolution bitmap with transparent background — for app icons, README assets, or platforms that don't render SVG. No upload needed.

When to Convert SVG to PNG
- Converting Figma-exported SVG icons to PNG for App Store and Google Play store listing assets
- Rasterising SVG logos to PNG for embedding in GitHub README files which don't render external SVG references
- Preparing SVG illustrations as PNG for upload to Slack, Discord, or Telegram custom emoji
- Exporting SVG diagrams to PNG for inclusion in PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides presentations
- Converting SVG icon sets to PNG for use in legacy CMS platforms or email templates that block SVG

//how_it_works
How It Works
Drop your SVG files
Drag and drop or select SVG files. Self-contained SVGs work best — external resource references won't load due to browser security.
Browser renders SVG
An HTMLImageElement loads the SVG and the native browser SVG renderer paints it onto a transparent HTML Canvas at the intrinsic width × height.
PNG export with alpha
The Canvas exports as PNG via toBlob using DEFLATE lossless compression with full 8-bit alpha channel for transparency.
Download your PNG files
Your rasterised PNGs are ready for any platform — GitHub README, app stores, Slack, presentations.
// under the hood
SVG is an XML-based vector format using path commands and shape primitives. Our converter loads the SVG into an HTMLImageElement, then draws it onto a transparent HTML Canvas at the intrinsic dimensions. The Canvas exports as PNG via toBlob with the image/png MIME type, using DEFLATE compression with full 8-bit alpha channel. The browser's native SVG renderer handles path tessellation and anti-aliasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What resolution will the PNG have?
- We rasterise the SVG at its intrinsic width and height attributes. If your SVG has a viewBox but no explicit width/height, the browser defaults to 300×150. To get a specific resolution, edit the SVG's width/height before converting, or open it in a vector editor and export at the size you need.
- Why convert SVG to PNG?
- Many platforms don't accept SVG uploads — GitHub README image embeds, App Store icons, Slack emoji, Twitter avatars, and most email clients all require raster formats. PNG is the lossless choice that preserves transparency, making it the standard rasterisation target for vector source assets.
- Is transparency preserved?
- Yes. The Canvas is initialised with full alpha transparency, so any unpainted SVG areas become transparent PNG pixels. PNG supports 8-bit alpha, so soft edges and partial transparency render exactly as the SVG specifies.
- Does the SVG need to be self-contained?
- Yes — external resources won't load. SVGs that reference external fonts, raster images, or stylesheets via http URLs will fail to render those assets due to browser security restrictions on Image element loads. Embed fonts as paths and inline any external CSS or images before converting.
- Are scripts and animations executed?
- No. SVGs loaded via the Image element have scripting and external loads disabled by browsers as a security measure. Static visual content renders correctly, but SMIL animations are captured at their initial frame and JavaScript-driven SVGs won't execute.
