What size should I export at?

At least twice the size the image will be displayed, so it stays sharp on high-density screens. Larger if it is going into print or a presentation. Enlarging the PNG afterwards will not work, so err upwards.

Does transparency survive?

Yes. PNG has an alpha channel, so transparent regions of the SVG stay transparent.

Why does the text look wrong after conversion?

The SVG references a font that is not available where it is being drawn, so a fallback was substituted. Convert text to outlines in whatever produced the SVG, then export again.

Why is part of my graphic missing?

It almost certainly references an image, stylesheet or font hosted elsewhere, and those do not load during rasterising. Export a self-contained SVG with everything embedded.

An SVG to PNG converter where you choose the size

An SVG has no resolution. It is a set of drawing instructions, so turning one into a PNG means choosing how large the result should be - and that choice, not the conversion, is the thing that decides whether the output is any good.

The size is the decision, and it cannot be undone

Every other conversion on this site starts with a fixed number of pixels. This one does not: an SVG describes shapes mathematically and can be drawn at any size with no loss at all. Once it is a PNG, that freedom is gone, and enlarging the PNG afterwards produces exactly the blurry result that scaling any raster image produces.

So pick the size you actually need, and then go larger. If the image appears at 200 pixels wide on a page, export at 400 for high-density screens. If it is going into a presentation, a document or anything that might be projected or printed, go larger still - the cost is a few kilobytes, and the alternative is discovering it is too small at the point where re-exporting is inconvenient.

Fonts are where SVG conversion goes wrong

An SVG that references a font by name does not contain that font. It contains an instruction to use it, which works on a machine that has it installed and silently falls back to something else on a machine that does not. Rasterise on the wrong machine and you get your logo set in a default serif, subtly and unmistakably not what it should be.

The fix belongs upstream, in whatever produced the SVG: convert text to outlines before exporting, and the letterforms become shapes that need no font to draw. If the artwork is already an SVG and the text looks wrong here, that is what happened, and no converter can guess which font was intended.

External references do not travel

An SVG can reference images, stylesheets and fonts hosted elsewhere. When it is rasterised in a sandboxed context those references generally do not load, so a graphic that looks complete in a design tool can come out with a missing panel or unstyled shapes - and nothing announces the omission.

A self-contained SVG avoids all of it: everything embedded, text outlined, no external URLs. That is also the version you want for anything you are handing to someone else, because it is the only version guaranteed to look the same wherever it is opened.

When Adobe Express is the better choice

You want to edit the artwork - change colours, crop, add elements - rather than only convert it.
The SVG depends on fonts or external assets you need resolved properly during export.
You need output formats beyond PNG, or export presets matched to specific platforms.
