SVG to PNG Converter

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is resolution-independent and ideal for logos, icons, and illustrations on the web. However, many platforms — social media uploads, email signatures, presentation slides, iOS/Android app assets, and print workflows — require rasterized bitmap formats like PNG. This free SVG to PNG converter renders your vector file at any resolution using the browser's native rendering engine, preserving anti-aliasing, gradients, filters, and transparency. For converting between other raster formats (JPEG, WebP, AVIF), use the Format Converter. To compress the PNG output, try the Image Compressor.

For standard web use, 1x scale matches the SVG's original viewBox dimensions. Retina and HiDPI displays (MacBooks, iPhones, modern Android) need 2x or 3x to look crisp — a 24×24 icon becomes 48×48 or 72×72 pixels. For print-quality rasterization at 300 DPI, multiply: an A4-width illustration (210mm ≈ 8.27 inches) needs 8.27 × 300 = 2481 pixels wide. Use custom dimensions to enter exact pixel targets. App icon guidelines (iOS 1024×1024, Android 512×512) are easily set via custom mode. To verify the rasterized output meets print requirements, run it through the Print Readiness Scanner. For resizing the PNG afterward, use the Image Resizer.

SVG files often have transparent backgrounds. This converter preserves that alpha channel transparency in the PNG output by default — critical for logos, icons, and UI elements that need to composite over any background. The checkerboard preview shows exactly which pixels are transparent. When your target requires an opaque image (JPEG conversion, certain email clients, PowerPoint slides), switch to a solid background color. The PNG format supports 8-bit alpha transparency per pixel, making it the best raster choice for vector art with soft edges, drop shadows, and opacity gradients. To generate all favicon sizes from your SVG, try the Favicon Generator. For watermarking the PNG output, use the Image Watermark tool.

Upload multiple SVG files for batch rasterization — each converts at the same scale and background settings. Developers can also paste raw SVG markup directly, making it easy to export inline SVGs from code editors, Figma, Illustrator, or Inkscape without saving a file first. The file size comparison shows SVG vs estimated PNG size, helping you decide whether to serve SVG or pre-rasterized PNG in production. For embedding small PNGs directly in CSS or HTML, convert the output with the Base64 Encoder. Explore all 88 tools at Scanly's full toolkit.
