Convert SVG to JPG in your browser

To change SVG to JPG, select or drop the SVG on this page, keep Balanced or pick another Image quality, and press Convert to JPEG. Your browser draws the SVG as pixels and saves them as a JPG, so the file never leaves your device. It works in a current Chrome, Edge or Firefox, on a Mac too, with nothing to install. Three things change on the way:

• The JPG is drawn at the width and height written in the SVG, or bigger if you pick 2×, 4× or a width in pixels under Size. Sizes in mm, cm, in, pt or pc count as 96 pixels to the inch, so a 50 × 25 mm SVG gave a 189 × 94 JPG in our test. With no width and height, the viewBox sets the size; with neither, the JPG is 1,024 pixels square. The long side stops at 8,192 pixels: a 10,000 × 5,000 SVG came out at 8,192 × 4,096.
• Empty areas become white. A JPG cannot hold see-through pixels, so the background behind your drawing is filled with white. Half see-through parts are mixed with that white: a red square at half opacity came out pink.
• Only what is inside the file is drawn. A script in the SVG does not run, and pictures or web fonts it links to from elsewhere are not loaded. A linked photo was missing from our JPG (Chrome showed a small broken-picture icon, Firefox left the space white), while an embedded one was drawn. Text set in a linked web font fell back to another font: our test file named no second choice, so it came out in the browser's default serif.

Image quality has three settings: Smaller, Balanced (the default) and Best, which are JPEG quality 60, 80 and 95 out of 100. They change how much detail the compression throws away, and so the file size. The pixel size stays the same at all three. We converted two test SVGs at each setting in Chrome:

Each browser has its own JPEG encoder, so your sizes will differ a little: in Firefox the illustration was 77 KB at Balanced and 291 KB at Best. Balanced is right for most slides, documents and forms. Use Best for a logo that will be shown large or printed, where soft edges around lettering would show, and Smaller when an upload form sets a size limit. For why quality 80 looks the same as the original on a screen, read why a 3 MB PNG becomes a 400 KB JPEG and looks identical.

Most SVG files are logos, icons and diagrams: flat colours, hard edges and often an empty background. JPG was made for photographs, so it handles them less well. The background turns white, and compression can leave faint smudges along sharp edges and small text, more at Smaller than at Best.

So choose JPG when a form, an app or a slide template asks for one. Otherwise convert SVG to PNG: it keeps the see-through background and every pixel exactly, which is why that route is graded Picture-perfect and this one Very good. For a picture on a web page, SVG to WebP also keeps the transparency.

Still deciding? Our guide on when to send a JPG and when a PNG covers photos, screenshots and logos, and raster vs vector explains why an SVG stays sharp at any size while a JPG does not.

To batch convert SVG to JPG, select several SVG files in the file picker or drag them onto the page together, up to 100 in one go. Your browser converts them one after another, all at the Image quality you chose. Each JPG takes the size and the name of its own SVG: icon.svg is saved as icon.jpg.

Save the results one by one with their Download buttons, or press Download all (ZIP) to get every JPG in a single file called whatafile-converted.zip. A file that is not an SVG is left out of the batch, with a note naming the tool that takes it: convert WebP to JPG for a WebP, or convert GIF to JPG for a GIF.
