Is this SVG to PNG converter really free?

Yes. Up to 5 files at a time, no signup, no catch. The free tier adds a small watermark to image output — Pro ($9.99/mo or $49/yr) removes it, raises the file size limit to 500 MB, and unlocks unlimited batch conversion.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No — and you can verify it yourself. Open DevTools → Network tab, then convert a file. You'll see zero upload requests. Everything runs in your browser via WebAssembly. We never see your files.

How long does conversion take?

Usually 1–3 seconds for a typical file. The very first conversion on a fresh page load may take 5–20 seconds while the WebAssembly codec loads — after that it's instant. Your CPU does all the work locally.

What is the file size limit?

Free: up to 10 MB per file, 5 files per batch. Pro: up to 500 MB per file, unlimited batch. If you're working with large videos or RAW photos, Pro is built for that.

Can I batch convert multiple SVG files at once?

Yes — drop multiple files at once (or Ctrl/Cmd+click to select them) and they all convert in parallel. Free accounts handle up to 5 files per batch; Pro has no limit.

Will the image quality change after conversion?

It depends on the formats involved. Converting to a lossless format like PNG preserves every pixel exactly. Converting to a lossy format like JPEG or WebP applies compression — we default to 85% quality, which looks identical to the original for almost all images. You won't notice a difference unless you zoom in pixel-by-pixel.

Do you support batch image conversion?

Yes — drop multiple images at once and they all convert in parallel. Free accounts handle up to 5 at a time; Pro is unlimited. Download everything as a single ZIP when you're done.

What resolution should I use for SVG to PNG conversion?

For web: 2× your display size (e.g., 800px if you display at 400px). For print: at least 300 DPI equivalent. Our converter lets you set custom width/height.

How private is this converter?

Completely private — by design, not policy. There is no upload endpoint. Files are processed using WebAssembly inside your browser tab and disappear the moment you close it. We collect only anonymous page-view counts; your file content is never seen or stored.

Why convert SVG to PNG?

If you've ever tried to open a SVG file and hit a wall — the app won't accept it, the website rejects it, or the preview just shows a broken icon — you already know why this conversion matters.

Scalable Vector Graphics is great for what it was designed for, but it has real-world limitations: not suitable for photos and complex svgs can be slow to render. The moment you step outside that original context, it gets frustrating fast.

Portable Network Graphics is the safer choice for Logos and UI assets, Screenshots, Images requiring transparency. Its main advantages — lossless compression — pixel-perfect quality and full alpha transparency (8-bit alpha channel) — mean it just works wherever you need it.

A few common reasons people end up here: - Their target app, site, or device doesn't accept SVG - They need a smaller file for email or upload (PNG often compresses better) - They need Portable Network Graphics's specific capability: lossless compression — pixel-perfect quality - Compatibility with older software that pre-dates Scalable Vector Graphics

The conversion is one-way: you get a PNG that works everywhere Portable Network Graphics is expected. The original SVG file is not touched.

Quality & file size: SVG to PNG

Typical file sizes: SVG 5–50 KB → PNG 8–25 MB.

Both SVG and PNG use lossy compression. We transcode at high quality settings (equivalent to PNG's recommended web quality) to minimize generational loss.

Color depth: SVG supports unlimited (vector), PNG supports 16-bit.

Transparency: SVG supports transparency. PNG preserves transparency.

Your SVGfiles are converted 100% inside your browser using WebAssembly. They are never uploaded to our servers, never stored, and never seen by anyone other than you. This isn't a privacy policy claim — it's an architectural guarantee: our server has no endpoint that receives file bytes.
