A converter that shows you the file first
Plenty of SVG to PNG converters work blind. You hand one a file, it rasterises whatever it managed to parse, and the first time you see the result is in your downloads folder. If the SVG uses a font the converter does not have, the letterforms get substituted. If the artist left a white rectangle behind the artwork, your transparent PNG arrives with a baked-in background.
Rayzia opens the file in an editor before any converting happens, so the canvas shows what the PNG will contain. A wrong colour can be recoloured. A background shape can be selected and deleted, which is usually the difference between a transparent PNG and an opaque one. If a font did not travel with the file, you will see the substitution on the canvas rather than in the finished image, and the family list can load any Google font on demand or take an upload of your own.
The conversion itself is local. The file you drag in is opened in the browser, not uploaded, and the PNG is rasterised through a canvas on your machine. Cloud save is a separate, optional action for signed-in users; signed out, nothing is going anywhere.
How to convert SVG to PNG
- Open the editor. Go to rayzia.com and open the editor at /vector/. It runs in any browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS or a tablet, with nothing to install and no account needed to start.
- Drag in your .svg. Drop the file onto the canvas, or use File then Open. Rayzia reads it as native SVG, so each shape and each line of text arrives as an editable object rather than a locked image.
- Check it looks right. The canvas shows what the PNG will contain. If a colour is off, change it; if a leftover background rectangle is hiding your transparency, delete it before you export.
- Frame the export with an artboard. Press Shift+O for the Artboard tool and drag a board around your artwork, or pick a preset such as A4 or Full HD from the option bar. Export crops to the board rectangle, so the board sets the edges of your PNG.
- Export. File ▸ Export and pick PNG for a free file at standard resolution, transparency included. If you need a particular scale or another format, File ▸ Export for Screens offers 0.5x and 1x free, scales up to 4x on Pro, plus JPG and WebP.
Getting the pixel size you need
PNG is a fixed raster, so size matters at export time. In Rayzia the artboard does the framing: exporting sets the output viewBox to the board rectangle, so anything on the board is in the image and anything off it is clipped. The preset dropdown covers common targets such as Full HD (1920×1080) and Square, plus A4 and Letter for print mock-ups, or you can drag the board to whatever rectangle you want.
Scales multiply that frame. In File ▸ Export for Screens, every target you tick crosses with every scale and format you tick, and each combination downloads as its own file named like [email protected]. Document is a standing target, and Selection appears when something is selected, so you can convert one icon out of a sheet without touching the rest. 0.5x and 1x are free; the higher scales up to 4x are Pro at $8 a month, which also adds PDF as an export format.
SVG to PNG: common questions
Is converting SVG to PNG free?
Yes. File ▸ Export gives you a PNG at standard resolution on the free plan, along with every editing tool. The higher scales (2x to 4x) in Export for Screens are part of Pro, at $8 a month.
Does the PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG keeps the alpha channel, while JPG gets a white background painted behind it because JPEG has no alpha. If a PNG comes out opaque, the likely culprit is a background rectangle inside the SVG itself, and you can delete it in the editor before exporting.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The SVG opens in your browser and the PNG is rendered there too, so nothing is sent to a server to convert. Cloud save is a separate, optional step that only happens when you sign in.
Can I get a PNG at a specific pixel size?
The artboard frames the export and the scale multiplies it. Set the board with a preset such as Full HD or A4, or drag it to the rectangle you want, then pick a scale in Export for Screens. 0.5x and 1x are free, and higher scales up to 4x are Pro.
