SVG is a vector format, so it scales losslessly at any size. This tool renders your SVG onto an HTML5 Canvas at your chosen resolution — using 2x or 4x scale ensures the exported PNG looks sharp even on high-density displays. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API, preserving all colors, gradients, and shapes exactly.

For standard web use, 1x matches the SVG's native viewBox dimensions. For retina and HiDPI screens (most modern phones and laptops), choose 2x — it doubles each dimension, giving 4× more pixels. For high-quality print or marketing materials, use 4x. For example, a 100×100 SVG exported at 4x becomes a 400×400 PNG — more than enough for most print contexts at 150 DPI.

Yes — Transparent is the default background option. The Canvas is not filled with any color, so all areas outside your SVG artwork remain fully transparent (alpha = 0). This is ideal for icons you plan to place over colored backgrounds in apps, websites, or design tools like Figma. Toggle to White background if you need an opaque export for email or document use.

Blurriness usually happens when the SVG is exported at too small a resolution and then displayed at a larger size. Try increasing the scale to 2x or 4x before downloading. Another cause is missing width/height or viewBox attributes in the SVG source — this tool defaults to 512×512 in that case, but you can edit the SVG file to add explicit dimensions for better results.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is resolution-independent — it's defined by math, not pixels, so it looks crisp at any size. Use SVG for logos, icons, and illustrations in web and UI contexts where you control the environment. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a raster format — fixed pixels with lossless compression and transparency support. Use PNG when you need broad compatibility: app stores (Apple, Google Play), email clients, Microsoft Office documents, or any platform that doesn't support SVG.
