Yes — completely free with no daily limits, no signup, and no watermarks. All features are unlocked. There’s no premium tier because the tool runs entirely in your browser, so we have zero conversion costs on our end.

No. Every part of the conversion — parsing your SVG, rendering it to a canvas, encoding the PNG, and generating the download — happens in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your file never leaves your device. Safe for confidential client work.

Up to 8000 × 8000 pixels per side. This limit exists because browser canvas memory is finite (especially on Safari and mobile). If you need larger, do it in smaller tiles and stitch them together in an image editor.

A few common reasons: (1) External resources — if your SVG references external images, fonts from Google Fonts, or external stylesheets, browser security blocks them from rendering in canvas. Inline everything. (2) Custom fonts — SVG text uses browser system fonts; if the specific font isn’t installed, a fallback is used. Convert text to paths in your design tool before exporting to guarantee typography. (3) Missing xmlns — the converter auto-adds this, but complex namespaced SVGs may still fail.

Scale multiplies your specified width and height for the output PNG. A 500 × 500 export at 2× scale produces a 1000 × 1000 PNG. This is essential for Retina displays and print quality: the display shows it at 500 × 500 CSS pixels but with 4× the pixel density. Use 2× for standard Retina, 3× for iPhone Plus/Pro Max, 4× for print-quality or Android xxxhdpi.

Transparent for logos, icons, and elements that need to sit on any background. Solid (white or custom) for social media posts (some platforms flatten transparency), email (older Outlook doesn’t render alpha), and print (transparent doesn’t make sense on paper). If in doubt, export both — transparent gives you more flexibility.

A Data URI is a base64-encoded string that embeds the PNG directly in HTML or CSS — no separate file needed. Example: background: url('data:image/png;base64,...'). Useful for tiny inline images, single-file HTML documents, or email HTML. Downside: 33% larger than the actual PNG file because of base64 encoding. Best for images under 5 KB.

Yes. When locked, changing width auto-adjusts height (and vice versa) to preserve the original SVG’s proportions. Unlock to distort the image intentionally — useful if you need a specific target aspect ratio different from the source. The ratio is derived from the SVG’s viewBox or explicit width/height attributes.

SVG stores drawing instructions (a circle here, a line there) — very compact for simple graphics. PNG stores every pixel’s color and transparency value. A 2 KB SVG can easily become a 200 KB PNG at 2000 × 2000 pixels. PNG size grows with dimensions and complexity; SVG size stays roughly constant regardless of display size.

Not with this tool — and generally not automatically at high quality. PNG is raster (a grid of pixels); SVG is vector (mathematical shapes). Automatic vectorization exists (like Adobe Illustrator’s Image Trace, or online tools like Vector Magic) but results vary wildly and simple logos come out best. Complex photos or gradients rarely convert cleanly.

All modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave, Opera, and their mobile versions. Uses standard HTML5 APIs (Canvas, Blob, FileReader) that have been stable for years. Internet Explorer 11 is not supported (canvas.toBlob support is spotty). Best results on desktop for large exports due to memory.

This version handles one file at a time — designed for careful, quality-controlled conversions. For batch processing hundreds of files, use a command-line tool like Inkscape (inkscape --export-type=png) or ImageMagick. This tool shines when you need to fine-tune each export with different sizes, scales, or backgrounds.
