Does SVG to PNG conversion lose quality?

SVG is infinitely scalable vector art. PNG is a fixed-resolution raster. The conversion itself is lossless at the chosen resolution, but scaling the PNG up later will cause pixelation — choose a large enough output size.

Can I convert multi-colour and gradient SVGs?

Yes — the browser renders the full SVG including gradients, filters, masks and text before capturing it as PNG. Complex SVG features are supported as long as the browser can display them.

SVG vs PNG — When to Use Each

Use case	SVG	PNG
Web icons & logos	Preferred — scales to any size	Fallback for older browsers
Email clients	Poorly supported	Use PNG — widest support
Image editors (Photoshop)	Limited support	Native support
Social media thumbnails	Usually rejected	Accepted everywhere
Print at fixed size	Works (at any DPI)	Use 300 DPI resolution
CSS backgrounds	Best choice	Works but larger file size

How to Use It

Open the tool

Go to Images & Files and scroll to the SVG to PNG Converter.

Load your SVG

Paste raw SVG markup into the input or load an .svg file from your computer.

Set output dimensions

Enter the desired PNG width and height in pixels. For retina displays, use 2× the display size.

Download the PNG

Click convert and download the resulting PNG. The background is transparent unless the SVG has a background fill.

Pro Tips

💡Export at 2× or 3× the intended display size to keep logos sharp on retina and high-DPI screens. A 200px icon should be exported as a 400px or 600px PNG.

💡SVG to PNG preserves transparency. If you need a white or coloured background, add a <rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="white"/> as the first child of your <svg>.

💡After export, run the PNG through a compressor (like Squoosh or TinyPNG) to reduce file size before using it in email or uploading to social media.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use PNG instead of SVG?

When the target doesn't support SVG — email clients, some image editors, CMS uploads, and social media platforms. Also use PNG when you need a fixed-size raster image for print or sharing.

What resolution should I export?

For web at 2× retina: export at double the CSS display size. For print: multiply inches × 300 to get pixels (a 4-inch print at 300 DPI = 1200px).

Does conversion lose quality?

The conversion at the chosen resolution is lossless. The risk is choosing too small a size — scaling the PNG up later causes pixelation. SVG source stays crisp at any size.

Do gradients and filters convert correctly?

Yes — the browser renders the SVG in full before capturing it as PNG, so gradients, masks, filters and text all convert correctly as long as the browser supports them.
