About the SVG to PNG tool
Turn scalable SVG vector graphics into PNG raster images for platforms that don't accept SVG — social networks, marketplaces, and office documents.
Rasterisation happens in your browser. Your vector file — often a logo that is not public yet — is never uploaded.
How to use it
- Add your SVG file.
- Set the output width and height — this is the important step.
- Download the PNG.
You are converting infinite resolution into a fixed one
An SVG is a set of drawing instructions, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size. A PNG is a fixed grid of pixels.
That makes the dimensions you choose the whole decision. Export too small and the image will look soft when enlarged, and no amount of upscaling afterwards will bring the sharpness back.
What the numbers look like
Practical export sizes:
- Favicon: 32×32 and 180×180
- App icon: 512×512 or 1024×1024
- Social preview: 1200×630
- Print at 300 dpi: multiply the inches by 300
When in doubt, export at double the size you need. Downscaling later is harmless; upscaling is not.
Common mistakes
- Exporting at screen size and then using the PNG on a high-density display, where it looks soft.
- Losing transparency by exporting onto a white background when the SVG had none.
- Discarding the SVG. It is the master file — always keep it.
Questions people ask
Does the PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent regions of the SVG stay transparent.
What size should I export?
Whatever the largest display size is, then double it for high-density screens.
Can I convert PNG back to SVG?
Not meaningfully. That requires vector tracing, which approximates shapes rather than recovering the original paths.
