SVG to PNG

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

SVG to PNG converts a vector image to a PNG raster at a given pixel size. PNG is suitable for platforms that do not support SVG or when requiring images with a transparent background. Since rasters have fixed resolution, the results need to be scaled up for high-density screens.

Key points

SVG is a vector, whereas PNG is a raster with fixed pixels
Render at 2x the size for the retinal screen
Font and external images must be available at rendering
Canvas containing SVG from other domains could be exposed to CORS
PNG supports transparent background
