What happens when you convert SVG to PNG?
Lossless sample storage
PNG compression is lossless. Palette conversion, resizing or reducing bit depth before encoding can still discard information. Animation is the APNG extension included in the third edition. PNG can store its supported image samples without lossy compression. This applies after rendering and sample conversion: it does not guarantee preservation of source precision, colour space or document structure, and cannot undo earlier losses.
SVG
Source
SVG
Scalable Vector Graphics
Compression: Not a pixel codecTransparency: YesMetadata: XML metadata, title, desc
XML-based vector graphics with shapes, text and optional animation. Raster export chooses a specific pixel resolution.

PNG
Portable Network Graphics
Compression: LosslessTransparency: YesMetadata: Exif, ICC, Text
Lossless raster images with precise edges and optional transparency. The PNG standard also defines APNG animation.

Good choice when
- PNG fits your delivery use: Screenshots & transparent graphics.
- You need a fixed-resolution raster asset.
- You need a transparency-capable destination and will check its supported variant.
- You need lossless storage of the rendered samples supported by PNG.
Probably not when
- You need editable paths, text or resolution-independent scaling.
- You assume format-level alpha support guarantees matching transparent edges.
- You expect lossless encoding to restore lost details or editing structure.
- You require identical samples without a defined colour and precision policy.
SVG to PNG conversion details
- Vectors become pixels
- Self-contained static shapes only. Convert text to paths; scripts, images and external resources are not supported.
- Transparency representation
- The implemented target supports alpha. Display-pixel processing can round translucent samples; archival sample equality is not promised.
- Lossless sample storage
- PNG compression is lossless. Palette conversion, resizing or reducing bit depth before encoding can still discard information. Animation is the APNG extension included in the third edition. PNG can store its supported image samples without lossy compression. This applies after rendering and sample conversion: it does not guarantee preservation of source precision, colour space or document structure, and cannot undo earlier losses.
- Sample precision & colour
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
- Metadata & colour
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
- Compression
- SVG: Not a pixel codec → PNG: Lossless SVG: SVG describes geometry rather than using a lossy/lossless pixel codec. XML can be compressed for transport, but rasterization is a separate operation that fixes resolution and can discard editability. PNG: PNG compression is lossless. Palette conversion, resizing or reducing bit depth before encoding can still discard information. Animation is the APNG extension included in the third edition.
- Transparency
- Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
- Animation
- Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.
- Colour depth
- PNG: 1–16 bits/sample
- HDR
- PNG: Third-edition signalling
- Vector graphics
- SVG: Paths, shapes & text
- Dimensions
- Rendered image dimensions are retained within the converter limits; this tool does not offer resizing. Orientation handling depends on the source decoder.
- Metadata
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Common questions
Will PNG remain scalable vector artwork?
Self-contained static shapes only. Convert text to paths; scripts, images and external resources are not supported.
Does lossless output mean an unchanged source?
PNG compression is lossless. Palette conversion, resizing or reducing bit depth before encoding can still discard information. Animation is the APNG extension included in the third edition. PNG can store its supported image samples without lossy compression. This applies after rendering and sample conversion: it does not guarantee preservation of source precision, colour space or document structure, and cannot undo earlier losses.
Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?
Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Will metadata and colour profiles be retained?
