SVG to PNG Converter

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is the ideal format for logos, icons, and illustrations that need to display at any size without pixelation. But many platforms, tools, and workflows don't support SVG, email clients, image upload forms, certain CMS platforms, and legacy design tools all require raster formats like PNG or JPG. Converting an SVG to PNG lets you preserve the clean, sharp appearance of vector artwork at a specific pixel size that matches your target use case. This tool renders your SVG to PNG entirely on your device at whatever dimensions you specify.

How to use

1. Open your SVG file. Drop an .svg file onto the tool or click to browse. The SVG preview renders immediately so you can verify the file looks correct before converting.
2. Set the output dimensions. Enter the width in pixels you need for the PNG output. The height is calculated proportionally from the SVG's aspect ratio by default. Override the height if you need a non-proportional output.
3. Choose the background. Select transparent to preserve any transparent areas in the SVG (produces a transparent PNG). Select white to fill all transparent areas with a white background before export.
4. Download the PNG. Click Convert and Download to render the SVG at the specified dimensions and save the PNG file to your device.

Tips for best results

• Export at 2× the intended display size. For retina and high-DPI screens, export your PNG at twice the final display dimensions, a logo displayed at 200×200 px on screen should be exported at 400×400 px for sharp rendering on high-DPI displays.
• Use transparent PNG for logos on colored backgrounds. If your logo will be placed on a non-white background, export with transparency enabled. This lets the background show through the logo without white-box artifacts.
• For favicons, use the dedicated converter. Favicons require specific multi-size .ico format packaging. Use the favicon generator which handles favicon-specific sizes and format requirements automatically.
• Compress the PNG after conversion if needed. High-resolution PNG exports can be large. Use the image compressor to reduce the file size without visible quality loss after conversion.

Why use PixMidas

• 100% private. SVG rendering uses the browser's built-in SVG engine and Canvas API. No SVG file is ever uploaded to any server, your vector artwork stays on your device.
• Precise resolution control. Set any output dimension you need, from small icon sizes to large print resolutions. The SVG is rendered at the exact pixel count you specify.
• No account needed. Free and instant. SVG rendering runs locally on your device.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use SVG and when should I use PNG?

Use SVG when the file will be displayed at variable sizes and the viewing environment supports SVG, websites, Figma, Illustrator, and most modern apps. Use PNG when you need a raster image at a specific pixel size, email attachments, upload forms, legacy apps, print preparation, and platforms that don't render SVG. PNG from a well-made SVG will be sharper than a PNG that was never vector-based.

Why is my SVG rendering incorrectly?

Some SVG files use features that aren't supported by all SVG engines. Common issues include: custom fonts that aren't embedded in the SVG (renders with a fallback font), external image references that don't resolve on your device context, CSS styles that depend on the page's global stylesheet, and complex filters or animations that behave differently across SVG engines. For complex SVGs, verify the preview before downloading.

What resolution should I export at for print?

Print standard is 300 DPI. For a 4×4 inch printed logo, you need at least 1200×1200 pixels (4 inches × 300 DPI). Because SVG is vector-based, you can export at any resolution with perfect quality, unlike raster images, there's no upper limit on SVG output quality. For large-format printing (posters, banners), export at whatever dimensions your print shop requires.

Can I convert multiple SVGs at once?

The tool processes one SVG at a time since each file typically needs individual dimension settings. If you need to convert many SVGs to the same dimensions in bulk, command-line tools like Inkscape CLI or ImageMagick handle batch SVG-to-PNG conversion efficiently.

What is the difference between SVG and PNG transparency?

Both SVG and PNG support alpha-channel transparency. SVG uses XML-defined paths and shapes with fill="none" or opacity settings. PNG stores a per-pixel alpha value. When you export an SVG with transparent areas to a transparent PNG, the alpha information is preserved correctly. Exporting to JPG would fill all transparent areas with white since JPG doesn't support transparency.

Can I convert SVG to JPG instead of PNG?

This tool exports to PNG. For JPG output, convert the SVG to PNG first, then use the image converter to convert the PNG to JPG. Note that JPG doesn't support transparency, any transparent areas will be filled with white in the JPG output.
