How it works

The SVG is rendered into an HTML Canvas at your chosen size, then exported as a PNG. Everything runs in your browser — no files are sent to any server.

SVG vs PNG

SVG is vector-based and scales infinitely. PNG is a raster format — ideal for web images, social cards, app icons, and any context where vector is not supported.

Resolution tips

For web use 512 or 1024px. For app icons try 1024px. For print, multiply your cm size by 120 (300 dpi) to get the right pixel count.

SVG to PNG — how vector-to-raster conversion works

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a resolution-independent XML-based format, ideal for logos, icons and illustrations. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster format universally supported across browsers, email clients and image editors. Converting SVG to PNG is necessary when you need a fixed-resolution image for social media cards, app store screenshots, email signatures, or any platform that does not support vector graphics. This tool renders the SVG into an HTML5 Canvas element at your specified size and exports it as a PNG using the toDataURL() API — entirely client-side, with no files leaving your device.

Frequently asked questions

SVG is a vector format that scales without quality loss, while PNG is a raster format with fixed pixels. You need PNG when sharing on social media, uploading to platforms that do not support vector, or embedding in documents that require a raster image.
The tool creates a Blob URL from your SVG code, loads it into an HTMLImageElement, draws it onto an HTML5 Canvas at your chosen dimensions, and then exports the canvas as a PNG using toDataURL("image/png"). Everything runs in the browser — no server involved.
SVG files contain mathematical vector instructions and scale to any size without pixelation. PNG files store pixel data — they look sharp at their native resolution but blur when scaled up. SVG files are typically smaller for simple graphics; PNG is better for photos and complex raster images.
For web images use 512–1024px. For app icons use 1024px. For retina displays, double the target size (e.g. 64px icon → export at 128px). For print at 300 dpi, multiply centimetres by ~118 to get pixels (e.g. 10cm ≈ 1181px).
Yes. PNG supports alpha channel transparency. If your SVG has a transparent background, the exported PNG will also be transparent. The canvas is not pre-filled with any colour before rendering.
Export your SVG icon from Figma or Illustrator, paste the code here, set the required size (e.g. 1024×1024 for iOS app icon), download the PNG. You can then feed it to the Favicon Generator to create .ico and multi-size favicon assets.
All SVG features supported by your browser are supported, including gradients, filters, masks, text, and embedded images. Very complex filters or external font references may not render correctly if those resources are not available client-side.
