SVG to PNG Converter

SVG is a vector format described in XML — instead of a pixel grid, it stores shapes and paths, so it stays crisp at any size.

Scalable Vector Graphics is, technically speaking, not an image format at all — it's an XML-based markup language that describes shapes, curves, and text mathematically rather than as a grid of pixels. That's what gives it its defining trait: an SVG can be scaled up to billboard size or down to a favicon without a single pixel of quality loss, because it's redrawn from the underlying math at whatever size it's displayed. It's also just a text file, so it can be opened and hand-edited in any code editor, styled with CSS, and even animated — which is why it's become the standard choice for logos, icons, and illustrations on the modern web.

PNG is a lossless image format built for sharp edges, flat colors, and transparency — think logos, screenshots, and UI graphics rather than photos.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) was created in the mid-1990s as a free, patent-unencumbered replacement for GIF, and it inherited GIF's lossless approach while adding full 24-bit color and an alpha transparency channel. Because nothing is thrown away during compression, a PNG can be re-saved indefinitely without ever degrading — a real advantage for screenshots, diagrams, and anything with text or hard edges, where JPEG's compression tends to introduce visible smudging. The cost is file size: for photographic content, a PNG is typically several times larger than an equivalent JPEG, which is why most photo libraries still default to JPEG and reserve PNG for graphics.
