SVG to PNG
SVG is a vector format that scales without quality loss. But not every app and service accepts it. PNG opens everywhere and supports transparency, so SVG is often converted to PNG for publishing and sharing.
The image is converted in your browser — the file is not uploaded.

More about SVG to PNG
Why convert SVG to PNG
SVG is convenient for logos, icons and illustrations: it scales without quality loss and takes little space. But not every service accepts SVG, and some editors do not open it as a regular image.
PNG solves the compatibility problem: it opens in browsers, office suites, messengers and on any device. A transparent background is preserved.
How it works
The browser loads the SVG as an image, draws it on a canvas and saves it as PNG. Conversion runs only in the browser; the file is not uploaded.
What to know
PNG is a raster format: after conversion the image cannot be enlarged indefinitely without quality loss. For large print sizes, prepare an SVG at the required dimensions or keep the vector original.
Questions and answers
Is transparency preserved?
Yes. An SVG with a transparent background produces a PNG with transparent areas.
What resolution will the PNG have?
The image is rendered at the natural size of the SVG. For very small icons the PNG may be small; prepare a larger SVG if you need a bigger raster image.
Why does SVG not always open?
SVG is a text-based format and some programs do not support it as an image. PNG opens almost everywhere.
Where is the file processed?
Most browsers render SVG locally. Server-side SVG conversion is disabled; if the browser cannot handle the format, use another browser or a desktop editor.
