This blog post is for you if you are looking to convert SVG to PNG in high resolution. Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a popular image file format that can be scaled to any size without compromising on the image quality. On the other hand, Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is also being widely used due to high-resolution image quality. Generally, SVG is preferred over PNG images so we will learn how to convert SVG to PNG programmatically. For this automation, we will use GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud SDK for .NET. However, please go through this guide carefully and learn how to build an SVG to PNG converter in C#.
The following points will be covered in this article:
