Convert SVG to PNG

How to use the SVG to PNG converter

1. Add one SVG or a whole folder of icons and logos.
2. Enter the output width in pixels, anything from 16 to 8192. Height is worked out from the drawing’s own proportions.
3. Convert, then download the PNGs separately or zipped together.

Sizes that suit video work

A channel watermark sitting in the corner of a 1080p frame rarely needs more than 300 to 400 pixels across, while a full-screen title card for a 4K project wants 3840. Because the vector is redrawn for each export rather than stretched, a large PNG is as crisp as a small one.

Need the same logo in several sizes for different platforms? Run the batch once per width. Each pass reads the SVG fresh, so nothing is upscaled from an earlier, smaller render.

Things the renderer cannot see

Only what is inside the file gets drawn. Pictures that the SVG links to on another server are skipped for security, and lettering set in a typeface your computer lacks is shown in a fallback font. Embedded images, gradients, masks and inline styles come through as expected.

If an SVG has no width or height attributes, its viewBox sets the shape. A file with neither is treated as 300 by 150, the size browsers assume for undimensioned graphics.

Memory and very large exports

Every pixel of the PNG has to be held in memory while it is drawn and compressed. An 8192-pixel-wide render of a wide banner is a lot of pixels, and phones with little RAM may give up where a laptop copes easily.

For on-screen use, the width you will actually display is almost always enough. Go bigger only for print or for footage you plan to zoom into.
