Convert to and from SVG

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector image format that uses XML markup to define images using geometric shapes, paths, and curves. Unlike raster images, SVG images can be scaled to any size without quality loss.

To convert SVG to PNG, upload your SVG file using our converter above, select PNG as the output format, and specify your desired dimensions. The vector image will be rasterized to create a PNG file.

Yes, SVG supports animation through CSS and JavaScript animations embedded in the file. However, animated SVG files are not as widely supported as other animated formats like GIF or WebP.

Use SVG for logos, icons, simple illustrations, graphics that need to scale to any size, and web graphics. It's perfect when you need crisp, scalable graphics that look sharp at any resolution.

Choose SVG when you need perfect scalability, small file sizes for simple graphics, text-based images that need to remain crisp at any size, or when you want to maintain the ability to edit the image with code.

To optimize SVG size: remove unnecessary metadata, simplify paths, use fewer anchor points, remove unused elements, minify the XML code, and consider using simpler shapes. Our converter can help optimize during conversion.

Yes! SVG can be converted to any raster format (PNG, JPG, WebP, etc.). You'll need to specify the output dimensions since SVG is resolution-independent. Higher resolutions create larger but sharper raster images.

Choose resolution based on usage: 72-96 DPI for web/screen display, 300 DPI for print, or specific pixel dimensions for your target application. SVG being vector means you can export at any resolution without quality loss.

Yes! SVG fully supports transparency, alpha channels, gradients, patterns, and complex effects. These features are preserved when converting to formats that support them (like PNG) but may be flattened for formats like JPG.

SVG files can be edited with code editors or vector graphics software. However, once converted to raster formats, text becomes pixels and can't be edited as text. Keep the original SVG for future edits.
