SVG to PNG Converter
Convert SVG markup or an .svg file to a high-resolution PNG in your browser. Choose a scale and download — nothing is uploaded.
Pure browser JavaScript — renders SVG to PNG on a canvas locally.
How to use this tool
- Paste SVG markup or upload an .svg file.
- Pick an output scale (1x–4x for crisp results).
- Click Render, then Download PNG.

How it works
The SVG to PNG converter rasterizes an SVG graphic into a pixel-based PNG image directly in your browser. Paste SVG markup or upload an .svg file, choose a scale multiplier, and download the resulting PNG.
SVG is resolution-independent vector graphics, while PNG is a fixed-pixel raster format. Converting to PNG is necessary when you need to use a graphic in a context that does not support SVG, such as email clients, certain social media platforms, Word documents, or mobile app assets.
The scale option lets you export at 1x, 2x, or higher resolutions. Exporting at 2x or 3x is recommended for high-DPI (Retina) displays and for print use, as it ensures the PNG has enough pixels to look sharp.
All processing uses the browser's built-in canvas API — no server upload required. This makes the tool safe for SVGs that contain proprietary logos or confidential design assets.
Worked example
Export a logo SVG as a 2x PNG for email
- Open your logo.svg file in a text editor and copy the SVG markup.
- Paste it into the SVG to PNG converter.
- Set scale to 2x for a crisp high-resolution output.
- Click Convert.
- Download the PNG and attach it to your email template.
A high-resolution PNG logo suitable for email clients that do not render SVG.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exporting at 1x scale for use in print or on Retina displays, resulting in a low-resolution PNG that looks pixelated.
- Pasting SVG markup that references external resources (fonts, images via URL) without those resources being available, causing them to be omitted from the PNG.
- Expecting transparent backgrounds to be preserved — they are, as long as you save as PNG (not JPEG, which has no transparency).
Key terms
- Rasterization
- The process of converting vector graphics (defined by paths and curves) into a pixel grid (raster image).
- Scale factor
- A multiplier applied to the SVG's natural dimensions when creating the PNG; 2x doubles both width and height for a higher-resolution output.
- Canvas API
- A browser JavaScript API that allows pixel-level drawing and image export, used here to render the SVG and produce the PNG download.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my SVG uploaded?
- No — the SVG is drawn onto a canvas locally via an Image element and exported with canvas.toBlob(). Nothing leaves your device.
