Step-by-Step Conversion Process
Upload Your SVG File
Click "Choose SVG File" or drag and drop your SVG file into the converter. The tool accepts .svg files up to 10MB in size.
Select JPG Format
Choose "JPG" from the output format dropdown. JPG format automatically adds a white background to your converted image, making it perfect for web use.
Choose DPI Resolution
Select the appropriate DPI based on your use case:
- 72 DPI: Web graphics and screen display
- 150 DPI: Good quality for most uses
- 300 DPI: Print quality (recommended)
- 600-1200 DPI: Professional printing
Adjust Quality Settings
Set the JPG quality from 10% to 100%. Higher quality means larger file size but better image clarity. 90% quality is recommended for most uses.
Convert and Download
Click "Convert to JPG" and your file will be processed instantly. The converted JPG will automatically download to your device.
Understanding Quality Settings
JPG quality directly affects file size and image clarity. Here's how to choose the right setting:
- • Professional photography
- • Print materials
- • Detailed graphics
- • When file size isn't critical
- • Web graphics
- • Social media images
- • Email attachments
- • General purpose use
DPI and Resolution Guide
DPI (Dots Per Inch) determines the resolution and quality of your converted image:
| DPI | Use Case | File Size | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | Web, screen display | Smallest | Good for web |
| 150 DPI | General purpose | Medium | Good quality |
| 300 DPI | Print materials | Large | Print quality |
