Export SVG to PNG with a transparent background

SVG is ideal for scalable artwork, but many upload forms and social platforms want a fixed-size PNG instead.

Keep the SVG background empty

If the SVG has no background rectangle, the exported PNG can keep transparency. If the SVG includes a white rectangle, the PNG will include it too.

Choose the right output size

Export at the pixel size the platform needs, or export a little larger and resize down. Tiny exports can make diagonal edges and text look rough.

Watch for missing fonts

If the SVG depends on a font that is not available in the browser, text may render differently. Converting text to outlines in the source editor can avoid that.
