Your vector artwork is drawn into a transparent PNG at a set pixel size that opens without design software.
Converting SVG to PNG draws your vector artwork onto a fixed grid of pixels. The result keeps its transparent background and opens in software that has never heard of SVG. The trade-off is that the PNG has one set size: enlarge it later and edges blur, where the original would have stayed sharp.
Transfers use HTTPS, and files converted on the free tier are deleted within 24 hours, so the result is not a long-term archive. Quality depends on the source file, so open the PNG file once before you share it.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
An XML-based vector format from the W3C. Shapes, paths and text are stored as drawing instructions, not pixels, so an SVG stays sharp at any size and can be styled with CSS, animated or scripted inside a browser.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
A lossless raster format with an alpha channel. It records a fixed grid of pixels exactly, keeps transparent and semi-transparent areas, and is accepted by office suites, social networks, app stores and almost every program that handles pictures.

You do not need Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma to export a PNG. Here the SVG is rendered on indox infrastructure: no design software is installed, you do not need an account for one file, and the result is ready to download when the progress bar finishes.
The PNG has an alpha channel, so wherever the drawing leaves the canvas empty the picture stays see-through, soft shadows included. If the result has a white or coloured backdrop, the SVG contains a background shape; delete it in a vector editor and convert again.
You can hand over several SVG files in one go, and every file comes back as a PNG of its own, which suits icon sets and logo variants. Download each result, or share it with a link when a client only needs a preview.
Drop the SVG on the box, or bring it in from your device, a URL, Dropbox or Google Drive. Convert text to outlines first if the font may be missing where the file is rendered.
The converter should show PNG as the output; confirm it and start. A progress bar is shown while the artwork is converted, and the job can be cancelled.
Download the PNG and check its pixel dimensions, which normally follow the width, height or viewBox written in the SVG. Look at any text too, in case a substitute font was used.
You get a lossless PNG that matches the SVG at the size it was rendered, with see-through areas intact, and that office suites, social networks and app stores accept. It no longer scales, its shapes and text cannot be edited, and scripts, links and animation are frozen into one still picture. Keep the source SVG; the PNG is an export, not a replacement.
The upload box shows the live size limit before you add a file. Signing in raises it, and paid plans raise it further.
SVG in, PNG out. Pick another output on the converter if you need a different format.
Files are encrypted in transit over HTTPS and processed on indox infrastructure.
Free-tier files are deleted automatically within 24 hours after the job finishes.
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The PNG is tiny | The pixel size follows the width, height or viewBox written in the SVG | Set the size you want in the SVG, or in your vector editor's export settings, before converting |
| Text is in a different font | The picture is drawn on the server with the fonts installed there, and indox does not send your font files | Convert the text to outlines in your vector editor, then convert the SVG |
| Animation or interaction has stopped | resvg renders static SVG only, with no animation, scripts or events | Export a still frame of the artwork from your editor and convert that |
| I need a solid background, not see-through areas | PNG keeps transparency, and indox adds no background colour | Add a background rectangle in the SVG, or use SVG to JPG |
| Compared on | SVG | PNG |

No tool matches that search.
Not at the size it is rendered, but it does lose scalability. PNG is lossless, so every pixel produced from the vector is stored exactly, with no compression artefacts. What disappears is the ability to enlarge without blurring. Viewed at its native dimensions the PNG matches the SVG; stretched to twice the size, it looks soft where the SVG would not.
Yes, as long as the SVG itself has no background shape. PNG supports full alpha transparency, so areas the drawing leaves empty stay see-through. If your PNG comes out with a white or coloured backdrop, the SVG very likely contains a rectangle filling the canvas, which you can delete in a vector editor before converting.
It normally matches the dimensions written in the SVG, taken from its width and height attributes or, failing those, its viewBox. An SVG declared as 512 by 512 usually produces a 512 by 512 pixel PNG. Because vectors have no inherent resolution, raising those attributes on an SVG that has a viewBox gives a bigger PNG that is equally sharp.
The font was probably not available where the file was rendered. Unless text has been converted to outlines or the font is embedded, an SVG only names a typeface and expects the viewing system to supply it. When it is missing, a fallback font is used. Converting text to paths in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma before exporting prevents this.
Mostly for security and rendering reasons. An SVG is a text document that can contain scripts and links to outside resources, so platforms that accept uploads from the public often ban it instead of sanitising it. Other programs simply lack a vector renderer. A PNG is inert pixel data, which is why it is welcome nearly everywhere.
Not in any exact sense. Turning pixels into vectors means tracing, where software guesses outlines from colour boundaries. Tracing works tolerably for simple flat logos and badly for gradients, small text and photos, and it never recovers the original layers or editable text. Keep the source SVG, and treat the PNG as an export, not a replacement.
