    The details

    What happens when you convert between document formats

    Vector artwork described in code. Scales to any size without blurring. The document is opened in a layout engine and re-saved in the target format, mapping each style onto the closest equivalent in the new format. The result is a lossless images with transparency. the safe choice for graphics, screenshots and scans, produced entirely inside your browser.

    What survives

    • The text and the paragraph structure
    • Most formatting: fonts, sizes, colours, alignment, lists and tables
    • Embedded images

    What changes

    • Styles that have no equivalent are approximated
    • The file may gain or lose features the target format does not support

    Where it goes wrong

    • Styles are usually mapped by name, so renaming a style before converting can lose the mapping
    • The target format may not support the same page size or margins

    Why anyone would do this

    Different teams use different formats, and the content should not be held hostage by that.

    About the format

    Vector artwork described in code.

    An XML document listing shapes, paths, gradients and text. The file holds instructions for drawing, not the picture itself.

    Where it is good
    • Perfect at any size, from a favicon to a billboard
    • Tiny compared to a raster image of the same design
    • Text stays real text, so it can be searched and restyled
    Where it falls short
    • Only works for artwork that can be described with shapes
    • Photographs have to be embedded as a raster inside it
    • Filters and fonts can render differently in different programs
    You will find it on
    Designers, developers, print shops, sign makers

    The thing people miss

    An SVG that is mostly text is usually under 5 KB — smaller than the PNG of the same artwork by a factor of ten.

    About the target

    Lossless images with transparency.

    Deflate compression applied to raw pixel data, chunk by chunk. Nothing is thrown away, so the pixels you put in are the pixels you get out.

    • Lossless — no quality is lost, no matter how many times you convert
    • Supports full transparency
    • Handles flat graphics and text perfectly, with no compression artefacts

    Real jobs

    What people are actually doing with SVG

    Logos and icons that need to stay sharp on every screen

    Charts and diagrams that should stay editable

    Questions

    SVG conversion questions

    What actually happens to my SVG file when I convert it to PNG?

    The document is opened in a layout engine and re-saved in the target format, mapping each style onto the closest equivalent in the new format. So the SVG file is unpacked, the content is laid out, and the result is written out as PNG. The text and the paragraph structure survives unchanged.

    Will converting SVG to PNG reduce the quality?

    Partly. Styles that have no equivalent are approximated The text itself is never re-typed, so no words are lost.

    Is my SVG file uploaded to a server?

    No. This SVG to PNG conversion runs as JavaScript inside your browser tab. The file is read from your device and the result is written back to your device, so there is no upload step, no file-size limit and no copy of your SVG file on any server.

    Do I need an account or will there be a watermark?

    Neither. There is no sign-up step, no email capture and no watermark on the output. The only limits are the ones your own device imposes.

    What is the most common mistake people make when converting SVG to PNG?

    Styles are usually mapped by name, so renaming a style before converting can lose the mapping

    Why would somebody convert SVG to PNG at all?

    Different teams use different formats, and the content should not be held hostage by that. In short: logos and icons that need to stay sharp on every screen

    Something most people do not know about SVG?

    An SVG that is mostly text is usually under 5 KB — smaller than the PNG of the same artwork by a factor of ten.
