SVG to JPG

SVG is Scalable Vector Graphics. Vector rather than pixels, so it is sharp at any size and usually tiny. The right format for logos, icons and diagrams. Cannot represent a photograph, and converting one to a raster format fixes its resolution permanently.

JPG is JPEG. Built for photographs. Its compression discards detail the eye is least sensitive to, so a photo can drop by 90% with no visible change. No transparency at all, and it puts visible halos around hard edges — which makes it the wrong choice for text, logos and screenshots.

What changes in this conversion: JPG has no transparency. Anything transparent in your SVG will be filled with a solid colour — white unless you choose otherwise. JPG holds a single image. An animated SVG will be converted to its first frame only. SVG is lossless and JPG is not, so this conversion discards detail permanently. Keep the original if you may need to edit it later. SVG is vector, so it is sharp at any size. Converting to pixels fixes the resolution permanently — pick a size larger than you think you need.

The whole conversion happens on a canvas in your own browser. The file is read from disk with the File API, decoded, redrawn and re-encoded locally, so it is never uploaded and there is no size limit beyond your device's memory.
