What Is This Tool?
SVG is a vector format — shapes described by math, infinitely scalable, ideal for logos and icons. But many places don't accept it: Word documents, most social platforms, email clients and countless upload forms want pixel images. Converting (rasterizing) renders the vector into a PNG or JPG at a specific size.
Because vectors have no fixed resolution, you choose the output width — and since the source is math, a 2048px export is exactly as sharp as a 256px one. PNG output preserves the SVG's transparent background; JPG fills it with white.
Why Use It?
- Any resolution from one source: 256px favicon to 2048px print asset, all pixel-perfect.
- PNG output keeps transparency — logos drop onto any background.
- Fixes "SVG not supported" upload rejections in seconds.
- Batch conversion, local processing, no upload.
- Handles SVGs without explicit width/height by reading their viewBox.
How to Use
- Drop .svg files onto the box or click to choose.
- Pick an output width — Auto uses the SVG's own declared size.
- Choose PNG (keeps transparency) or JPG (white background).
- Download each rendered image; dimensions are shown per file.
Example
Input
logo.svg — 4 KB vectorOutput
logo.png — 1024×1024, transparent background, crisp at every pixelOne tiny vector source produces pixel-perfect rasters at any size you ask for.
Common use cases
- Adding a company logo (usually delivered as SVG by a designer) into a Word or PowerPoint document that doesn't support SVG embedding.
- Generating app icons or favicons at every required pixel size (16, 32, 180, 512px) from one master SVG.
- Attaching an icon to an email signature, since most email clients render only raster images.
- Uploading artwork to a social media platform or CMS that rejects SVG files as an upload security precaution.
Why SVG upload restrictions exist in the first place
Many platforms specifically block SVG uploads for a security reason, not an oversight: because SVG is XML-based and can technically embed JavaScript, a malicious SVG can be a vector for script injection if a platform renders it unsanitized. Rasterizing an SVG to PNG or JPG strips out anything beyond pixel data, which is one reason this conversion is often required rather than merely convenient — the target platform genuinely cannot safely accept the vector format, regardless of whether your particular SVG is harmless.
How the resolution independence actually works
An SVG file doesn't store pixels at all — it stores mathematical path definitions ("draw a line from this point to that point", "fill this curve with this color") and a viewBox that defines the coordinate space those paths live in. When you rasterize it, the browser's rendering engine recalculates every curve and fill at whatever pixel dimensions you request, from scratch, every time. That's fundamentally different from resizing an existing raster image (a JPG or PNG), where enlarging means inventing pixels that were never there and inevitably looks soft — an SVG rendered at 4000px is exactly as sharp as one rendered at 100px, because both are freshly computed from the same exact math, not stretched from a smaller source.
Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution should I export?
Match the largest size you'll display, then some: 512px covers most web logo uses, 1024px+ for retina displays and presentations, 2048px for print. Unlike photo upscaling, exporting big from SVG costs nothing in sharpness.
Why does my SVG render blank or broken?
Usually external references: SVGs that link to external images, fonts or CSS can't load those inside the browser's security sandbox. SVGs with embedded (inline) content convert fine. Text may also shift if it uses a font your system lacks.
PNG or JPG output — which should I pick?
PNG almost always: logos and icons need transparency and sharp edges, which PNG preserves and JPG ruins. Choose JPG only when the target strictly requires it or the SVG is a photo-like illustration.
Can I convert PNG back to SVG here?
No — that's a fundamentally different task (tracing pixels into shapes) that produces approximations at best. This tool goes vector → raster, which is exact.
Is my SVG uploaded for conversion?
No. The browser renders the SVG onto a local canvas and encodes the PNG/JPG on your device. Nothing is transmitted.
Should I export my SVG as PNG or JPG?
If the graphic has transparency — a logo that must sit on any background — choose PNG: JPG has no alpha channel and will fill transparent areas with a solid color. PNG is also better for sharp-edged art like icons and diagrams. Choose JPG only when the SVG contains photographic or heavily gradient-filled content and file size matters more than edges.
