An SVG stays sharp at any size because it stores shapes, not pixels. A PNG stores pixels, so the one decision that matters when you convert is which pixel size you export at. Most converters make that decision for you — one file, one resolution, usually whatever width the SVG happens to declare. Here you choose it: export at 1x, 2x, 3x or 4x, convert every open file in a single pass, and keep the transparent background intact. The rendering happens on a canvas in this page, so the SVG is never uploaded.

How to convert an SVG to PNG

  • Load your SVG above, or edit the sample. It stays on your device.
  • Open Export — the Files tab opens on PNG at 4x for this page.
  • Choose the scale you want and check the output dimensions table.
  • Export as a ZIP, or as separate files if you opened only one.

Export SVG to PNG at high resolution

The scale control multiplies the SVG's natural size, and the table below it shows the exact pixel dimensions you will get before you commit. A 64-pixel icon exported at 4x becomes 256 pixels; a 512-pixel illustration becomes 2048. Because each multiplier redraws the vector rather than enlarging an earlier render, a 4x export is genuinely four times the detail, not an upscaled copy. That is the difference between exporting SVG to PNG at high resolution and stretching a PNG you already made.

Batch SVG to PNG

Converting an icon set one file at a time is the part that actually costs you an afternoon. Drop in the whole set — up to 50 files — and a single export converts all of them at the same scale, named after their sources and bundled into one ZIP. Each file is measured individually, so a batch of mixed sizes keeps its proportions instead of being forced onto a common canvas.

Transparency is preserved

PNG carries an alpha channel, so anything transparent in the source stays transparent in the export. Logos keep their cut-out edges and icons drop onto a dark interface without a white rectangle behind them. If you need a solid background instead, convert to JPG and pick the colour yourself.

When PNG is the right target

Vector stays the better format wherever it is accepted, so convert when something refuses it. Email clients strip SVG, most social platforms reject it on upload, app stores and marketplaces ask for fixed-pixel assets, and plenty of document and presentation tools still will not place one. Those are the moments to export a PNG at the size that destination actually needs, and to keep the SVG as the master you re-export from next time.

Convert SVG to PNG without uploading

Every step — parsing, rendering, scaling, zipping — runs in your browser. There is no upload, so there is no queue, no processing wait, and no copy of your artwork sitting in someone's storage bucket afterwards. Client work and unreleased branding stay on your machine, which also means the converter keeps working with no network connection at all.

Frequently asked questions

What resolution should I export at?
Pick the multiplier that matches where the PNG will be used. 1x matches the SVG's own dimensions, 2x covers retina and high-DPI screens, and 3x or 4x suits print, large hero images, or anything that will be cropped later.
Does the PNG keep the transparent background?
Yes. PNG stores an alpha channel, so transparent areas in the SVG stay transparent in the PNG. Nothing is flattened onto white unless your artwork already contains a background shape.
Can I convert several SVG files in one go?
Yes. Open as many files as you need — up to 50 — and one export converts all of them at the chosen scale, delivered as a ZIP or as separate downloads.
Why does my PNG look soft when I enlarge it afterwards?
A PNG is a fixed grid of pixels, so enlarging it after export interpolates and softens edges. Export at the size you need instead: go back to the SVG and choose a higher multiplier, which redraws the vector at that resolution.
Is there a watermark, a file-size cap, or a signup?
None of those. There is no watermark on the output, no account to create, and no daily conversion limit. Source files up to 5 MB are accepted.
Does my SVG get uploaded to convert it?
It does not. The PNG is drawn from your SVG on a canvas inside this page, so the artwork never travels to a server and no copy of it is retained anywhere.
Which browsers can do the conversion?
Any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, on desktop or mobile. The conversion uses the canvas API, which all of them have supported for years.
