SVG is a vector format that scales infinitely without quality loss, while PNG is a raster format made of pixels. PNG is better supported in email, social media, and older software where SVG may not render properly.

Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent regions in the SVG remain transparent in the PNG output. Perfect for icons and logos with transparent backgrounds.

SVG is vector-based and resolution-independent. When converting to PNG, choose a larger width and height (e.g., 2000px or higher) before converting so the rasterized PNG has enough pixels for sharp display.

For web icons, use 512px to 1024px. For high-DPI displays or printing, use 2000px to 4000px. Larger dimensions ensure crisp display on retina screens and allow flexibility for resizing.

Yes. Set a background color before converting if you want to replace transparency with a solid color. This is useful for creating thumbnails or previews that don't support transparency.

No. PNG is a raster format, so all text, shapes, and elements become pixels. To keep text editable, preserve the original SVG file or use a vector editing program.

Usually yes, but custom fonts may not render if they're not installed on your system. For guaranteed consistency, convert text to paths in your SVG editor before converting to PNG.

Yes. All conversions happen locally in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your SVG files are never uploaded to any server or transmitted over the internet.

This tool focuses on single-file conversion with preview. For batch conversion, consider using a dedicated batch image converter or scripting tools.

PNG is a static format and cannot preserve animations or interactivity. Only the first frame or default state of the SVG will be captured in the PNG output.
