SVG to PNG: export vectors for web and print
SVG scales perfectly, but plenty of platforms only accept raster images. Exporting to PNG keeps transparency and sharp edges at the exact size you need.
Why export an SVG at all
An SVG describes artwork as shapes and coordinates, so it stays crisp at any size and is ideal for logos, icons and diagrams. The limitation is support: social networks, print services, forms and older software often cannot accept it.
Exporting to PNG produces a standard image that opens everywhere while preserving the clean edges of the original vector.
Choose the export size before you convert
A PNG is a fixed grid of pixels, so the size you render at decides how large the image can appear before it looks soft. Rasterise it at least as large as the biggest place it will be used.
For logos and icons, exporting at two times the largest display width keeps the result crisp on high-density screens without creating an unnecessarily heavy file.
PNG or JPG for vector artwork
PNG is almost always the better target. Vector artwork is built from sharp lines, flat colour and often transparency, all of which PNG handles losslessly, while JPEG compression blurs edges and cannot store transparency.
Reserve JPEG for exported vector illustrations that are effectively photographic, with smooth gradients and no transparent areas.
Keep the SVG as your master
Always keep the original SVG, because it is the only version that can be re-exported at a different size or edited later without losing quality.
