How to Convert SVG to PNG

Export an SVG as PNG

1. Open SVG to PNG and choose a self-contained .svg file.
2. Choose 1× for the original dimensions or 2×, 3× or 4× for a larger export.
3. Select Convert files. Download the PNG, or download the batch as a ZIP.
4. Check the dimensions, lettering, transparent edges and any filters before using the image.

Choose a useful export size

A 400 × 300 SVG exported at 2× becomes an 800 × 600 PNG. Doubling both dimensions produces four times as many pixels, which also increases memory use. Use the dimensions your destination requires instead of always choosing the largest option.

Fix common conversion errors

Missing dimensions: export width and height in pixels, or a valid viewBox. A file with only percentage dimensions and no viewBox has no useful intrinsic size for this tool.

Incorrect font: convert text to outlines in your vector editor. The browser may otherwise substitute an available font.

Missing linked image: embed the image in the SVG. Remote resources are intentionally not fetched.

Size limit: reduce the scale if the output exceeds 32 megapixels or 16,384 pixels on either side.

Unexpected background: PNG supports transparency, but cannot remove an opaque rectangle included in the SVG. Remove that rectangle in the source editor if appropriate.

On phones and desktops

Choose files works on both touch and desktop devices; drag-and-drop is optional. Save cloud-hosted artwork locally before selecting it. On a phone, try one file at a time and keep the browser tab active until the result is ready.

What this converter leaves out

Scripts, animation elements, embedded HTML and external references are removed. A static PNG cannot preserve interactive behavior. Keep the original SVG if you need editable paths, animation or a different export size later. See what an SVG file contains for the format basics.
