🖼️ SVG to PNG Converter
Fast, privacy‑friendly SVG to PNG conversion that runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Automatically preserves aspect ratio and supports files with width/height or viewBox. No external libraries or uploads.

PNG • Target: 1024 px wide (keeps aspect ratio)
How to Use This SVG to PNG Converter
The SVG to PNG Converter rasterizes vector graphics to pixel images directly in your browser—no uploads or third‑party libraries. It preserves aspect ratio, detects width/height or viewBox, and outputs a crisp PNG at your chosen width.
- Upload: Click SVG File and select your .svg document.
- Set Width: Enter the desired PNG width in pixels (height stays proportional).
- Convert: Press Convert SVG to PNG to rasterize and preview.
- Download: Save the PNG for use in websites, presentations, or editors.
Tips:
- If your SVG relies on external fonts or images, embed them beforehand to avoid missing assets.
- Choose a width large enough for retina displays (e.g., 2× your layout size).
- For very large exports, your browser’s memory may be the limiting factor.
How It Works
The converter uses the Canvas API to render your SVG into a bitmap and export it as a PNG, all client‑side.
- Dimension Detection: Parses
width/heightattributes or falls back toviewBox. If neither is present, a default square is assumed. - Aspect Preservation: Computes output height from the detected aspect ratio given your target width.
- Rasterization: Loads the SVG as a blob URL into an
Image, draws it on a canvas sized to the output dimensions, and handles transparency natively. - Export: Encodes the canvas to
image/pngviatoDataURLfor instant preview and download.
All processing occurs locally for privacy. Complex filters and external references depend on browser support and resource availability.
When You Might Need This
- • Convert SVG logos to PNG for CMSs that require raster images
- • Export vector icons as PNG sprites for legacy browsers
- • Prepare social sharing thumbnails from scalable SVG artwork
- • Generate presentation‑ready PNGs from slides or diagrams drawn in SVG
- • Create favicons or app icons from vector originals
- • Produce PNGs for email clients that render SVG inconsistently
- • Snapshot data visualizations built with SVG to static images
- • Deliver PNG assets to teams lacking vector editing tools
- • Embed PNGs in PDFs where SVG support is limited
- • Quickly prototype pixel‑exact UI elements from vector sources
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the conversion happen locally?
Yes. The SVG is read in your browser, rendered to a canvas, and exported as a PNG without leaving your device.
How is the PNG size determined?
You set the target width. The tool detects the SVG’s aspect ratio (from width/height or viewBox) and computes the height accordingly to avoid distortion.
What if my SVG references external fonts or images?
Embed fonts and images directly in the SVG (e.g., data URIs) for consistent results. External references may not load due to browser security restrictions.
Is transparency preserved?
Yes. PNG output supports alpha, and the canvas retains transparency unless you composite a background yourself.
How large can I export?
Very large bitmaps are limited by your browser and device memory. If a conversion fails, try a smaller width or simplify the SVG.
