Fractional dimensions
Non-integer width/height introduces anti-aliasing softness.
Sharp Export Workflow
Convert SVG to PNG Without Blurry Edges
Soft edges usually come from fractional sizing, low export scale, or poor source vectors. This guide helps you avoid all three.
Quality rule:
Export at 2x final display size, then downscale for crisp UI rendering.
Common Blur Causes
Stroke alignment issues
Half-pixel stroke placement can soften lines on export.
Low export scale
Small raster export that is scaled up later will blur.
Embedded low-res bitmaps
Raster assets inside SVG cannot become sharper after conversion.
Export Setting Presets
| Use Case | Suggested Output | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Website icon/button | 2x display size PNG | Keep stroke widths consistent and integer-based. |
| Marketing card graphic | 1200px+ wide PNG | Use larger export for text-heavy visuals. |
| Logo fallback raster | Transparent PNG at target contexts | Retain alpha and avoid unnecessary re-compression. |
Before Export Checklist
- Confirm target output dimensions are integers.
- Align strokes to pixel grid where possible.
- Remove/replace low-res embedded raster elements.
- Use clean font rendering in source SVG.
After Export QA
- Inspect at 100% and 200% zoom.
- Check edge crispness on high-density displays.
- Verify transparent background behavior.
- Only then run additional compression if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A common baseline is 2x final display size for crisp rendering on modern screens.
-
Sometimes, but source SVG text setup and scaling strategy usually drive final sharpness.
-
No. SVG is best for scalable vector use; PNG is for raster-specific delivery contexts.
-
Yes, but apply moderate optimization and verify edges after compression.
