SVG to PNG/JPG Converter

Convert your SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files to PNG or JPEG images with custom size and quality settings. Perfect for web graphics, social media, and document embedding.

Key Terms

Understanding the essential concepts behind SVG conversion:

  • SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics): XML-based vector image format
  • PNG (Portable Network Graphics): Raster image format supporting transparency
  • JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): Compressed raster image format
  • Raster Image: Pixel-based image format (PNG, JPEG)
  • Vector Image: Path-based scalable graphics (SVG)
  • Image Quality: Compression level affecting file size and visual clarity
  • Aspect Ratio: Proportional relationship between width and height

What Are These Terms?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)

SVG is a vector image format based on XML code. Unlike raster images, SVGs use mathematical paths to define shapes, making them infinitely scalable without quality loss. They're ideal for logos, icons, and illustrations but may not be compatible with all platforms.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics)

PNG is a raster image format that supports transparency (alpha channel). It uses lossless compression, meaning no quality is lost during conversion. PNG is perfect when you need a standard image format while preserving transparent backgrounds.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

JPEG is a raster image format using lossy compression to reduce file size. It doesn't support transparency, so transparent areas in your SVG will become solid (usually white). The quality setting controls the compression level: higher quality means larger files but better visual fidelity.

Image Quality

Quality determines how much compression is applied during conversion. For JPEG, quality ranges from 1-100%:

  • 90-100%: Minimal compression, best quality, larger file
  • 70-89%: Balanced compression, good quality, moderate file size
  • Below 70%: High compression, visible artifacts, smallest file

For PNG, quality doesn't affect the image itself (lossless) but may influence processing.

Aspect Ratio

The proportional relationship between an image's width and height. Our tool automatically maintains aspect ratio when you specify only width or height, preventing distortion. If you specify both, the image will be forced to those exact dimensions.

How Does The Tool Work?

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Input Your SVG

    • Upload a .svg file from your device, OR
    • Paste the raw SVG code directly into the text area

  2. Set Dimensions (Optional)

    • Width: Specify desired width in pixels
    • Height: Specify desired height in pixels
    • If you set only width, height is calculated automatically
    • If you set only height, width is calculated automatically
    • If you set both, the image is forced to those exact dimensions

  3. Choose Quality

    • Set quality from 1-100% (default: 90%)
    • Primarily affects JPEG compression
    • Higher = better quality but larger file size

  4. Select Output Format

    • PNG: Choose for images needing transparency or lossless quality
    • JPEG: Choose for smaller file sizes (no transparency)

  5. Convert & Download

    • Click the Calculate button
    • Preview your converted image
    • Download the result

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Logo for Social Media

  • Input: Company logo (SVG, 500×200)
  • Settings: Width=1200px, Quality=95%, Format=PNG
  • Result: High-res PNG logo (1200×480) maintaining aspect ratio, perfect for LinkedIn banner
  • Why PNG: Preserves transparent background

Example 2: Blog Post Thumbnail

  • Input: Illustration (SVG, 800×600)
  • Settings: Width=600px, Quality=85%, Format=JPEG
  • Result: Compressed JPEG (600×450) optimized for web loading
  • Why JPEG: Smaller file size for faster page loads

Example 3: Print-Ready Icon

  • Input: Icon (SVG, 64×64)
  • Settings: Width=1024px, Height=1024px, Quality=100%, Format=PNG
  • Result: Large PNG (1024×1024) for high-resolution printing
  • Why 100% Quality: Maximum clarity for print materials

Common Use Cases

  • Social Media Graphics: Convert SVG designs to PNG/JPEG for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter posts
  • Email Signatures: Transform SVG logos to PNG for email client compatibility
  • Document Embedding: Convert vectors to images for Word, PDF, or PowerPoint
  • Legacy Software: Support applications that don't render SVG files
  • Website Optimization: Generate different sizes from one SVG source
  • App Assets: Create PNG icons for mobile app development

Technical Notes

  • The conversion happens entirely in your browser (client-side)
  • Your SVG files are never uploaded to any server
  • Original SVG dimensions are auto-detected from width/height attributes or viewBox
  • Default dimensions (500×500) are used if no size is specified in the SVG
  • Transparent areas in SVG become transparent in PNG, white in JPEG
