SVG to JPG
Convert SVG to JPG when a form, a document or a marketplace needs an ordinary picture on a white background.
How the files you choose are handled is set out in the privacy policy.
How to convert SVG to JPG
- Tap Choose SVG files and select one or more files.
- Choose the width of the picture, and leave the quality on High.
- Press Convert to JPG, then save the picture, or all of them as one ZIP.
When JPG is what you need
SVG is the best format for a drawing and one of the least accepted. When a destination will not take it, the usual replacement is PNG. JPG is the right pick in a narrower set of cases:
- The upload form lists JPG only. Marketplaces, print shops and government portals often do.
- The drawing is complex. Illustrations with gradients, textures or embedded photos are much smaller as JPG than as PNG.
- A white background is wanted anyway. For a document or a listing photo, white behind the artwork is correct.
The white background
JPG cannot store transparency. Wherever the SVG has nothing drawn, the JPG is white. A dark logo looks as intended. A white or very light logo all but disappears, because it is now white on white. For light artwork, or for anything that must sit on a coloured page, use SVG to PNG, which keeps the background clear.
Sharpness and quality
| Setting | Effect | Suggestion |
|---|---|---|
| Width | How many pixels wide the JPG is. The drawing is rendered at that size directly | 1024 for screens, 2048 or more for print |
| Quality | How carefully the pixels are stored | High for line art and text |
JPG is designed for photographs. On flat colour with hard edges, which is what most SVGs are, it can leave a faint haze next to lines and lettering. High quality keeps that to a minimum. A generous width helps too, because the haze stays the same few pixels wide while everything else gets bigger.
What may not carry over
- Text in fonts that are not on your device is drawn in a substitute font.
- Pictures and fonts the SVG links to from elsewhere are left out.
- Animation and scripted effects do not run. You get the still drawing.
An SVG saved from a design program with “outline text” or “embed images” switched on avoids the first two.
Size of the file
A simple logo at 1024 pixels wide is typically 30 to 80 KB as JPG. If a form sets a limit in kilobytes, compress image can bring the JPG under it. To change the size in pixels afterwards, use resize image, though converting again from the SVG at the new width gives a cleaner result.
Questions
Why does my logo have a white background now?
JPG has no transparency, so empty areas become white. Use SVG to PNG to keep them clear.
What width should I choose?
1024 pixels for on-screen use. 2048 or 4096 if the picture will be printed or shown large.
Will the JPG be as sharp as the SVG?
At the width you choose, yes. Enlarging the JPG later will soften it, which an SVG never does.
Why is there a slight haze around the lines?
That is how JPG stores hard edges. Keep the quality on High, or use PNG for line art.
Can I convert several SVG files together?
Yes. They are all rendered at the same width and saved as one ZIP.
