Svg to png can be converted depending on conditions   If svg is in format SVG  string  paths    create canvas create new Path2D   and set svg as parameter draw path on canvas create image and use canvas toDataURL   as src   example  const canvas   document createElement  canvas    const ctx   canvas getContext  2d    let svgText    M10 10 h 80 v 80 h -80 Z   let p   new Path2D  M10 10 h 80 v 80 h -80 Z    ctx stroke p   let url   canvas toDataURL    const img   new Image    img src   url   Note that Path2D not supported in ie and partially supported in edge  Polyfill solves that  https   github com nilzona path2d-polyfill  Create svg blob and draw on canvas using  drawImage      make canvas element make a svgBlob object from the svg xml make a url object from domUrl createObjectURL svgBlob   create an Image object and assign url to image src draw image into canvas get png data string from canvas  canvas toDataURL     Nice description  https   web archive org web 20200125162931 http   ramblings mcpher com 80 Home excelquirks gassnips svgtopng Note that in ie you will get exception on stage of canvas toDataURL    It is because IE has too high security restriction and treats canvas as readonly after drawing image there  All other browsers restrict only if image is cross origin   Use canvg JavaScript library  It is separate library but has useful functions   Like  ctx drawSvg rawSvg   var dataURL   canvas toDataURL

I recently discovered a couple of image tracing libraries for JavaScript that indeed are able to build an acceptable approximation to the bitmap  both size and quality  I m developing this JavaScript library and CLI    https   www npmjs com package svg-png-converter  Which provides unified API for all of them  supporting browser and node  non depending on DOM  and a Command line tool    For converting logos cartoon like images it does excellent job  For photos   realism some tweaking is needed since the output size can grow a lot   It has a playground although right now I m working on a better one  easier to use  since more features has been added   https   cancerberosgx github io demos svg-png-converter playground

There are several ways to convert SVG to PNG using the Canvg library  In my case  I needed to get the PNG blob from inline SVG  The library documentation provides an example  see OffscreenCanvas example   But this method does not work at the moment in Firefox  Yes  you can enable the gfx offscreencanvas enabled option in the settings  But will every user on the site do this     However  there is another way that will work in Firefox too  const el   document getElementById  quot some-svg quot      this is our inline SVG  var canvas   document createElement  canvas      create a canvas for the SVG render canvas width   el clientWidth    set canvas sizes canvas height   el clientHeight   const svg   new XMLSerializer   serializeToString el     convert SVG to string    render SVG inside canvas const ctx   canvas getContext  2d    const v   await Canvg fromString ctx  svg   await v render     let canvasBlob   await new Promise resolve   gt  canvas toBlob resolve     For the last line thanks to this answer
