Why you turn a vector into pixels

An SVG is a drawing described by shapes, so it has no fixed pixel size. A web page, a shop listing, a print-on-demand site or a document often wants a picture with a known size, and that has to be a PNG or JPG. Choosing the size at the moment you convert is the whole point: ask for 3000 pixels wide and you get 3000 pixels of sharp edges, not an enlarged small picture.

What goes wrong with SVG to PNG

  • A tiny file size. Many SVGs say they are 24 or 100 units wide. Saved at that size, the PNG is a thumbnail. Set a width, or a print size.
  • Missing fonts. Text in an SVG is drawn with the fonts on this computer. If the font is not installed, the browser swaps another and the lettering changes. Convert text to outlines in your drawing program first.
  • Linked pictures and embedded pages. An SVG that points to a picture or font on the web, or embeds a web page, cannot be drawn into a saved file by a browser. The page refuses it with a plain message, rather than saving a file with a hole in it.
  • A blank result. If an SVG draws nothing (empty, or shapes outside its viewBox), the page says so instead of handing you an empty PNG.
  • A black background by accident. Transparent is the default; choose a white background when the file will be viewed on a dark page or printed on white.

The settings, for this conversion

  • Pixels. Set the width; the height follows the drawing's own shape. The most a browser can build is a side of 16,384 pixels, and the page warns before you hit it.
  • Print size. Set a width in inches, millimetres or centimetres and a resolution (300 dpi to start); the page works out the pixels. A 100 mm wide drawing at 300 dpi is 1,181 pixels across.
  • Background. Transparent keeps the clear areas in a PNG. White fills them. A JPG has no transparency, so it uses the fill colour.
  • Resolution stamp. The dpi is written into the PNG so print software knows the size you meant.

How to do it

  1. Drop the SVG, or choose it.
  2. Set the width in pixels, or switch to a print size.
  3. Choose the background, check the pixel size and file size, and download.

Open the picture here, choose how to save it, and download. Everything happens in this page: the picture is read and rewritten by your browser, with no upload and no account. You can confirm that on the Network tab of your browser's developer tools.

One picture, or a whole folder

Converting one picture at a time is free, with no watermark and no limit. If you load several, you can pick any of them to preview and save on its own. Pro converts every loaded picture in one go and saves them as one ZIP (up to 30 at a time) with a short report of what was made. Several SVGs are drawn with the same size settings.

Other conversions

The same tool opens with a different pair on each page, and any picture works on any page.

Questions

How do I get a 300 dpi PNG from an SVG?

Switch the size to Print size, enter the width you want to print (in inches, millimetres or centimetres) and leave the resolution at 300. The page shows the pixels that makes and stamps 300 dpi into the PNG.

Why does it refuse my SVG?

Because it links to something outside itself (a picture, a font or a style sheet on the web) or embeds a web page. A browser will not draw those into a saved picture. Embed the pictures and convert the text to outlines, then try again. The message on the page names the cause.

Can I keep the background transparent?

Yes, for PNG. Transparent is the default. A JPG cannot be transparent, so it fills those areas with the colour you choose.

Does it work for the cut files I made with this site?

Yes. A cut file from the PNG to SVG converter is a plain SVG, so it can be drawn at any size. Use SVG checker to see why a file is refused by a cutter.

Can I draw many pictures at once?

You can load up to 30 pictures and look at each one, but saving them one by one is free and saving them all at once is part of Pro: one ZIP with every converted file and a short report. Your first batch on a device is free to try.

Is my picture uploaded?

No. The picture is opened and rewritten by your browser, in this page, and the page has no code that sends a file anywhere. The site counts that a tool was used and that a file of a certain type was saved, never the picture or its name.
