What is SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)?
SVG describes images as shapes and text, so they stay sharp at any size.
Convert SVG to PNG or JPG when a platform does not accept vector graphics. Choose a generous width, because the pixel version can no longer be scaled up sharply.

Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with local code. Your files never leave your device, and there is no upload.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no limit on our side, but your browser memory is. Images work for very large files; for videos, files above a few hundred megabytes can fail on devices with little memory.
Will the quality suffer?
That depends on the target format and settings. Use the quality option to balance size and detail; lossless targets keep everything the source contained.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Fast hardware paths are used where available, with a compatible fallback otherwise.
