SVG to PNG

How SVG to PNG works

Render an SVG file to a PNG at the width you choose. The SVG is drawn on a canvas at full resolution, with an optional background colour. Everything happens inside this page: the tool reads your input, runs the calculation or conversion locally, and hands the result back to you. Nothing is transmitted, because there is no backend to transmit it to.

That design choice is deliberate. Most free tool sites upload your files to a server, process them there, and quietly keep a copy. Toolcin cannot do that — the site is a set of static files. If your connection dropped the moment the page finished loading, every tool would still work.

Rasterising a vector

The SVG is loaded as an image, drawn to a canvas at the width you choose, and exported as PNG. Width runs from 32 to 4096 pixels and the height follows the SVG's own aspect ratio.

Because the source is vector, the result is sharp at any size — this is the correct way to get a crisp logo at 4096 pixels, and the wrong way to enlarge an existing PNG.

The background question

SVG is transparent by default, and so is the PNG. On a white web page that looks fine; in a dark chat app the same logo disappears. The background colour field fills the canvas first, which is what you want for avatars and print.

Leaving it unset and exporting PNG keeps transparency so the file can be placed on any colour later.

What can go wrong

An SVG that references external fonts or images will render with fallbacks, because the browser cannot load them from a file loaded in this way. Fonts must be embedded or converted to paths.

SVG filters and some CSS features render inconsistently across browsers; check the output rather than assuming.

Good to know

• Works offline once loaded, including on flights and in locked-down networks.
• No file size limit beyond your device's own memory.
• Free to use, with no account and no usage counter.
• Results are produced locally, so they are not logged or shared with anyone.
