How to Convert SVG to PNG for Website

SVG is the best format for logos and icons on websites — they're infinitely scalable and tiny in file size. But there are specific web scenarios where you need a PNG version: older browsers that don't render SVG correctly in certain contexts, image elements that require a raster format, or social media sharing where SVG isn't supported. Converting SVG to PNG at the right dimensions ensures you get the best of both worlds.

When to Use SVG vs. PNG on Websites

Use SVG directly (in an <img> tag or inline) whenever possible — it scales perfectly and is tiny. Convert to PNG when: the SVG needs to appear as a background image in a CSS context that doesn't support SVG; you're creating an Open Graph social sharing image; or you need the logo in a format supported by all browsers without exception for older systems.

How to Convert SVG to PNG for Website Use

1. Open the Image Converter at imgresizr.com.
2. Upload your SVG file.
3. Select PNG as the output format.
4. Specify the output width — for a website logo, 2× your CSS display size (e.g. 400px for a 200px logo gives Retina sharpness).
5. Download the PNG — use it where SVG isn't supported, and keep the SVG for everything else.

SVG to PNG Web Tips

Export at 2× for Retina

Retina and HiDPI screens display at 2× the logical resolution. If you display a logo at 200px wide in CSS, export the PNG at 400px wide. Then in HTML set width="200" or use max-width: 200px in CSS — the browser will use the larger PNG but display it at the smaller size, making it sharp on all screens.

Keep Both SVG and PNG

Never delete your SVG after creating a PNG. The SVG is your master file — perfectly scalable to any size indefinitely. The PNG is just a snapshot for specific use cases. As you update or redesign your brand, update the SVG and re-export PNGs at the sizes you need.
