To convert SVG to PNG, drop your .svg files into the box above, choose a scale of 1x, 2x (the default) or 4x of the SVG's own width and height, and click Convert. Your browser renders each SVG into a PNG with its transparent background preserved. Download the PNGs individually or as a ZIP.
How to use the SVG to PNG tool
- 1
Add SVG files
Drop .svg files into the drop area or click to select them. Up to 50 files per run.
- 2
Pick a scale
Choose 1x, 2x or 4x of the SVG's intrinsic width and height. 2x is selected by default. SVGs with no width or height set are rendered 1024 px wide at 1x.
- 3
Convert
Click Convert. Each SVG is rasterised into a PNG in your browser, keeping transparent areas transparent.
- 4
Download
Save each PNG separately or download them all as a ZIP.
Vector vs raster: why convert SVG to PNG?
SVG is a vector format: instead of pixels, it describes shapes, paths and text in XML, so it can be drawn sharply at any size. That makes it ideal for logos, icons and illustrations on the web. PNG is a raster format, a fixed grid of pixels, which is what most other places expect.
You typically need a PNG when the destination does not accept SVG: many social networks, email clients, presentation and document tools, app store listings, marketplaces and some content management systems. Some platforms also block SVG uploads for security reasons, since SVG files can contain scripts. A PNG is safe to share and displays the same everywhere.
Choosing the right scale
Once an SVG becomes a PNG, its size is fixed, so pick the scale with the final use in mind. 1x matches the width and height defined in the SVG. 2x doubles both, which keeps the image crisp on high-density screens such as most modern phones and laptops; that is why it is the default. 4x gives a high resolution PNG for large prints, slides or when you plan to crop part of the illustration.
If your SVG has no width or height attributes, which is common for files exported with only a viewBox, the converter uses a default width of 1024 px at 1x, so 2x gives 2048 px and 4x gives 4096 px. Higher scales produce larger files, so do not go bigger than you need.
The background stays transparent, exactly as in the SVG. If you need a solid background, convert the PNG to JPG afterwards and choose a background colour there.
Rendering locally, and what that means for external files
Brand assets and unreleased illustrations are exactly the kind of files you may not want to upload to an unknown server. Krawly renders SVGs with your browser's own engine, inside the tab, and never sends them to Krawly's servers. Nothing is stored once you close the page.
There is one side effect of rendering SVGs in this secure context: resources the SVG references from elsewhere, such as remote web fonts or linked images, may not load. If text appears in the wrong font or an embedded image is missing, inline those resources into the SVG, or convert text to outlines in your design tool, before converting.
Tips for the best results
- Use 2x for screen use and 4x for print or large displays.
- Convert text to outlines in your design tool if the PNG shows the wrong font.
- Embed linked images directly in the SVG so they appear in the PNG.
- Keep the SVG as your master file — you can always export a new PNG at a different scale.
- Need a different exact size afterwards? Run the PNG through the resize tool.
Frequently asked questions
What size will my PNG be?
The PNG's dimensions are the SVG's own width and height multiplied by the chosen scale: 1x, 2x or 4x. If the SVG has no width or height defined, a default width of 1024 px is used at 1x, scaling up accordingly.
Does SVG to PNG keep the transparent background?
Yes. PNG supports transparency, so any area that is transparent in the SVG stays transparent in the PNG. No background colour is added, which means icons and logos can be placed on any background without a box around them.
How do I get a high resolution PNG from an SVG?
Choose the 4x scale, which renders the SVG at four times its own width and height, or 4096 px wide if the SVG has no size set. Because SVG is vector, rendering it large stays sharp, unlike enlarging a small PNG afterwards.
Why does the font look wrong in my PNG?
Remote fonts and other external resources referenced by the SVG may not load during conversion for security reasons. Convert the text to outlines or embed the font in the SVG, then convert again.
Will the PNG be as sharp as the SVG?
At the size it was rendered, yes. But a PNG is a fixed grid of pixels, so it will blur if enlarged later. Choose a scale large enough for how you plan to use the image.
Are my SVG files uploaded?
No. Rendering happens entirely in your browser, so brand assets and unreleased illustrations stay on your computer. Your SVGs are never sent to Krawly's servers, and nothing is stored after you close the tab.
Can I convert many SVG icons at once?
Yes. You can convert up to 50 SVG files in a single run with the same scale, then download all the PNGs together as a ZIP archive. Each PNG keeps the name of its SVG, which makes icon sets easy to manage.
Private by design. Every Krawly converter runs inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files are not uploaded, stored or seen by anyone — when you close the tab, they are gone.
