Add files from where they live
Drop a SVG file on the box, browse for it, or import it from Dropbox, Google Drive or a link. You can add more files later, and each file gets its own result.
Free SVG to PNG converter
Convert SVG to PNG online. Add a file, confirm PNG and download it. A single file needs no account.
Converting SVG to PNG draws your vector artwork onto a fixed grid of pixels. The result keeps its transparent background and opens in software that has never heard of SVG. The trade-off is that the PNG has one set size: enlarge it later and edges blur, where the original would have stayed sharp.
Transfers use HTTPS, and files converted on the free tier are deleted within 24 hours, so the result is not a long-term archive. Quality depends on the source file, so open the PNG file once before you share it.
FromSVGLosslessTransparency
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
An XML-based vector format from the W3C. Shapes, paths and text are stored as drawing instructions, not pixels, so an SVG stays sharp at any size and can be styled with CSS, animated or scripted inside a browser.
ToPNGLosslessTransparency
PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
A lossless raster format with an alpha channel. It records a fixed grid of pixels exactly, keeps transparent and semi-transparent areas, and is accepted by office suites, social networks, app stores and almost every program that handles pictures.

A progress bar shows the file moving through the conversion. If you picked the wrong file, cancel and start again.
Download it or hand it on
Save the PNG file, copy a share link or convert it to another format. Free-tier output expires on its own after 24 hours.
What changes
- Resolution independence ends. An SVG is redrawn crisply at any size, whereas the PNG holds a set number of pixels and softens or shows jagged edges when scaled up.
- Editable shapes become flat pixels. Paths, layers, groups and live text in the SVG can no longer be selected, recoloured or reworded in a vector editor.
- Transparency carries over intact. Empty parts of the SVG canvas stay see-through in the PNG, including soft, partially transparent edges and shadows.
- Anything that depends on a browser stops working. Hover effects, CSS or SMIL animation, embedded scripts and clickable links are frozen into one still picture.

What are the limits for SVG to PNG?
Size
The upload box shows the live size limit before you add a file. Signing in raises it, and paid plans raise it further.
Formats
SVG in, PNG out. Pick another output on the converter if you need a different format.
Privacy
Files are encrypted in transit over HTTPS and processed on indox infrastructure.
Deletion
Free-tier files are deleted automatically within 24 hours after the job finishes.
Limits worth knowing
- Text set in a font that is neither embedded nor available where the file is rendered may be drawn in a substitute typeface, shifting spacing and line breaks.
- Pixel dimensions normally follow the width, height or viewBox declared in the SVG, so an icon drawn at 24 units can come out as a very small PNG.
- Images, web fonts and stylesheets that the SVG links to by URL may not load during rendering, leaving gaps. Self-contained files convert most predictably.
- Filters, masks and blend modes are drawn slightly differently by different rendering engines, so complex artwork can vary a little from what your browser shows.

Which conversions are close to SVG to PNG?
Who can use a SVG to PNG converter?
When to use it
- Posting a logo to a social network or messaging app, most of which block SVG uploads.
- Placing an icon in Word, PowerPoint, Google Slides or an email signature where SVG support is unreliable.
- Supplying app icons, favicons or store listing artwork that must be delivered as PNG at exact pixel dimensions.
- Sending a client a preview of vector artwork that they can open without any design software.

SVG to PNG FAQs
Does converting SVG to PNG lose quality?
Not at the size it is rendered, but it does lose scalability. PNG is lossless, so every pixel produced from the vector is stored exactly, with no compression artefacts. What disappears is the ability to enlarge without blurring. Viewed at its native dimensions the PNG matches the SVG; stretched to twice the size, it looks soft where the SVG would not.
Will the PNG have a transparent background?
Yes, as long as the SVG itself has no background shape. PNG supports full alpha transparency, so areas the drawing leaves empty stay see-through. If your PNG comes out with a white or coloured backdrop, the SVG very likely contains a rectangle filling the canvas, which you can delete in a vector editor before converting.
What size will my PNG be?
It normally matches the dimensions written in the SVG, taken from its width and height attributes or, failing those, its viewBox. An SVG declared as 512 by 512 usually produces a 512 by 512 pixel PNG. Because vectors have no inherent resolution, raising those attributes on an SVG that has a viewBox gives a bigger PNG that is equally sharp.
Why does the text in my PNG look different from the SVG?
The font was probably not available where the file was rendered. Unless text has been converted to outlines or the font is embedded, an SVG only names a typeface and expects the viewing system to supply it. When it is missing, a fallback font is used. Converting text to paths in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma before exporting prevents this.
Why do some sites and apps not accept SVG?
Mostly for security and rendering reasons. An SVG is a text document that can contain scripts and links to outside resources, so platforms that accept uploads from the public often ban it instead of sanitising it. Other programs simply lack a vector renderer. A PNG is inert pixel data, which is why it is welcome nearly everywhere.
Can I convert the PNG back to SVG later?
Not in any exact sense. Turning pixels into vectors means tracing, where software guesses outlines from colour boundaries. Tracing works tolerably for simple flat logos and badly for gradients, small text and photos, and it never recovers the original layers or editable text. Keep the source SVG, and treat the PNG as an export, not a replacement.
