Pixel-Perfect SVG Rasterization
The SVG to PNG Converter uses a headless Chromium rendering engine to convert your vector graphics into high-resolution raster images. Unlike client-side converters that rely on canvas, our server-side approach ensures full support for web fonts, complex filters, gradients, and CSS transforms.
Why Server-Side Rendering?
Browser-based canvas exports often fail with:
- ✗External fonts – Canvas can't load @import fonts
- ✗CSS filters – blur(), drop-shadow() often ignored
- ✗foreignObject – HTML inside SVG not supported
- ✗CORS issues – External images taint the canvas
Our Chromium-based renderer handles all of these cases flawlessly.

Social Media Assets
Platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook require PNG or JPG for Open Graph images. Convert your SVG logos and graphics for perfect sharing.
App Store Screenshots
Apple and Google Play require raster images for store listings. Export SVG mockups at 2x or 3x for Retina-quality submissions.
Email Campaigns
Most email clients don't support SVG. Convert graphics to PNG for reliable rendering across Outlook, Gmail, and Apple Mail.
Developer Integration
Use our API to programmatically convert SVGs in your build pipeline or CI/CD workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What scale should I use for Retina?
Use 2x for standard Retina displays (MacBooks, iPhones). Use 3x for Super Retina (iPhone Pro) or print quality.
Why is my text rendering differently?
If your SVG uses a custom font, include a @import or @font-face rule inside a <style> tag.
Can I convert SVGs with animations?
Yes, but PNG is a static format. The converter captures the SVG at its initial state. For animated exports, consider our WebM or GIF options.
Is there a file size limit?
SVG input is limited to 5MB. For very complex graphics with embedded images, consider optimizing with SVGO first.
