How do I convert an SVG to PNG?
To convert an SVG to PNG, open FixDoks's SVG to PNG converter, add your vector file and choose a scale from 1x up to 8x, since SVG stays sharp at any size. Click Convert to PNG to download a raster image with a transparent background, rendered by your browser's own engine, so nothing is uploaded to a server.

How do I convert SVG to PNG?
SVG files describe shapes with maths rather than pixels, so they stay sharp at any size. That makes SVG ideal for logos and icons, but many places do not accept it: social media profile pictures, Word and PowerPoint in some versions, email signatures, app stores and many upload forms. Converting to PNG creates a normal image that works everywhere, with a transparent background.
Pick the right scale
The tool reads the size defined in the SVG (its width and height, or its viewBox) and renders it at the scale you choose. 1x uses the size in the file; 2x doubles width and height, and so on. For a logo on a website, 2x gives crisp results on high resolution screens. For print or large banners choose 4x or 8x.
Transparency
Areas of the SVG with no fill stay transparent in the PNG. If you need a white background instead, convert the PNG with PNG to JPG, which fills transparency with any colour.
Limitations
- SVGs that load external fonts or images from other websites may render with a fallback font or missing pictures, because browsers block external resources for security when drawing SVG as an image. Convert text to outlines in your design app first for exact results.
- Animations and scripts inside the SVG are not run; the PNG is a still image.
The SVG is rendered by your browser's own engine, on your device, so nothing is uploaded.
Common sizes for logos
| Use | Typical PNG size |
|---|---|
| Website header logo | 2× the displayed size, for sharp high DPI screens |
| Social media profile picture | At least 400 × 400 px, square |
| Favicon source | 512 × 512 px |
| Print on letterhead or banners | 4× to 8×, or larger |
If your SVG is not square and you need a square PNG, convert it and then use the crop tool or place it on a canvas in any editor.
Why not just screenshot the SVG?
A screenshot captures the image at screen resolution only, often with a white background and blurred edges when enlarged. Rendering the SVG directly gives exact pixel dimensions, a clean transparent background and sharp edges at any scale you choose.
Several SVG files can be converted at once with the same scale, which is handy for icon sets. Each PNG keeps the SVG's file name, and all of them can be downloaded together as a ZIP file.
