SVG Converters

Free, instant, browser-based tools to convert SVG into the format your project needs.

SVG is the right format for scalable graphics, but most workflows need SVG in a different form at some point. A CSS stylesheet wants a data URI. A React component tree wants JSX. An email template wants a PNG. A design handoff spec wants a CSS background shorthand. Converting between these formats by hand is error-prone — attribute casing, encoding rules, and format-specific quirks make it easy to produce output that looks right but breaks in production.

These converters handle the fiddly details for you: URL-safe encoding, Base64 padding, camelCase JSX attribute renaming, TypeScript prop types, retina-resolution PNG rasterisation, and CSS shorthand generation. Each tool accepts SVG markup directly — no file upload step, no account, no rate limit.

All conversion happens in your browser using the native Web APIs — Canvas for PNG export, DOMParser for markup transformation, TextEncoder for encoding. Your SVG never leaves your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an SVG data URI and a PNG export?+

An SVG data URI embeds the SVG markup directly into a URL string, keeping it fully scalable and resolution-independent — ideal for CSS backgrounds, HTML img tags, and inline use where you want sharp edges at any size. A PNG export rasterises the SVG at a fixed pixel size, producing a bitmap image suitable for contexts that do not support SVG: email clients, social media previews, and legacy apps.

When should I use the SVG to React converter instead of pasting SVG directly?+

React renders SVG natively, but raw SVG markup uses HTML attribute names (class, for, stroke-width) that conflict with JSX reserved words and camelCase conventions. The converter rewrites every attribute to its JSX equivalent, strips the XML declaration, and optionally adds TypeScript prop types and ref forwarding — changes that are tedious to do by hand and easy to miss.

What is a CSS background SVG and when is it useful?+

A CSS background SVG encodes the SVG as a data URI and sets it as a background-image property, so the graphic appears without any extra HTML element. It is ideal for decorative dividers, textured backgrounds, icon pseudo-elements, and any case where you need a scalable graphic controlled entirely through CSS.

Do these tools upload my SVG to a server?+

No. All conversion — data URI encoding, PNG rendering, React transformation, CSS generation — runs entirely in your browser. SVG markup is never transmitted to any server, making these tools safe for proprietary icons, unreleased brand assets, and internal design work.
