Start with the final display size
If the PNG will display at 600 × 400 pixels on a standard screen, exporting at 600 × 400 is usually enough. For high density screens, export at 2×: 1,200 × 800, then display it at 600 × 400 CSS pixels. The extra pixels keep fine edges and text crisp.
Keep the SVG aspect ratio
Stretching an SVG into a different ratio distorts it. Use the aspect ratio lock in the converter while changing width or height. If you need a square canvas around a wide logo, add empty space instead of squeezing the logo itself.
Choose transparency deliberately
PNG supports transparent pixels. Leave the background set to Transparent for icons, logos, and overlays. Choose a solid color when the PNG will sit on a known background or when transparent edges look wrong in another app.
Understand DPI versus pixels
Pixel dimensions determine how much image detail the PNG actually contains. DPI is a print scale instruction: a 1,200-pixel image at 300 DPI prints about four inches wide. Changing the DPI label alone does not add detail. Export enough pixels for the physical print size you need.
Watch out for fonts and linked assets
Some SVGs depend on fonts or images stored elsewhere. If those assets are unavailable to the browser, the PNG may differ from the original. For reliable results, embed assets where possible and convert text to paths in your design tool when exact typography matters.
PNG is no longer vector
After conversion, the PNG will not stay sharp at unlimited sizes. Keep the original SVG for editing and future exports. If you need a larger PNG later, export again from the SVG instead of enlarging the old PNG.
