SVG to PNG Converter

Upload an SVG file, choose a scale factor (1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x), and download a crisp PNG. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your file is never uploaded to a server.

The tool reads the SVG's intrinsic dimensions from its width/height attributes or viewBox and shows you the resulting PNG dimensions before you download.

Frequently asked questions

How does SVG to PNG conversion work in the browser?

The tool reads your SVG as text, creates a data URL, draws it onto an HTML Canvas at the selected scale, and exports the canvas as a PNG. No server is involved — the entire process runs locally.

What scale factor should I choose?

1x gives you the SVG's native dimensions. 2x is good for Retina/HiDPI displays. 3x and 4x are useful when you need a high-resolution PNG for print or large-format display.

Will the PNG look blurry?

No. SVGs are vector graphics, so they render sharply at any scale. The resulting PNG will be crisp at the chosen resolution. Higher scale factors produce larger files but sharper images when displayed at smaller sizes.

Are there file size limits?

There is no hard limit, but very complex SVGs with thousands of paths or large embedded images may be slow to render. The practical limit depends on your browser and device memory.

Does this tool preserve transparency?

Yes. The PNG is exported with an alpha channel, so transparent areas in your SVG remain transparent in the output PNG.
