September 3, 2026 CrushSVG built a free SVG to PNG converter as a solo dev/student โ€” here's why and what I learned

Hey IH ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm a software engineering student who also does freelance web dev and design work on the side. A recurring headache in almost every client project: someone hands me an SVG logo or icon, and I need a clean PNG version for an email template, a landing page, or a Canva mockup fast.

Every existing converter I tried had some annoying catch: forced signup after one use, ads everywhere, quality loss on export, or a UI clearly built in 2014. So I built CrushSVG a free, browser-based SVG to PNG converter. Paste your SVG code, upload a file, or drag and drop it, and export a crisp PNG up to 4000ร—4000px with transparent background support. No install, and you get 3 free conversions before you even need an account.

A few things worth mentioning:

  • It's fully bootstrapped just me, building this around university coursework and client work, no funding, no team.

  • Everything runs client-side in the browser, so files are never uploaded to a server. That was a deliberate choice after seeing how many "free" tools quietly store your files.

  • I built it because I needed it myself for client work, not because I set out to build a SaaS company. It just turned out other people (email devs, marketers, agencies) have the exact same annoying problem.

What I learned building this as a student on the side:

Shipping something small and genuinely useful is way harder than it sounds when you're also juggling assignments and client deadlines. I underestimated how much time "boring" stuff like SVG edge case handling (weird viewBoxes, embedded fonts, nested groups) would eat up compared to the actual UI.

I'm still actively improving it, and I'd genuinely love feedback from this community:

  • Have you run into SVGs that break most online converters? I want to stress-test against real edge cases.

  • Would batch conversion actually be useful to you, or is single-file fine for most use cases?

Happy to answer anything about the build, the stack, or student-life-meets-freelancing-meets-side-project balance.

    The client-side privacy angle is useful, but Iโ€™m more curious about frequency. Are agencies/freelancers using this repeatedly across projects, or is it mostly a one-off utility?
    1. 1

      Itโ€™s definitely a recurring utility. Asset optimization is a standard step in every web project. Agencies use it repeatedly across different builds because every new UI means a fresh batch of SVGs, and local processing removes NDA friction.

      1. 2
        That recurring workflow plus the NDA angle is a strong combination. Iโ€™d be interested in digging into whether privacy is actually a deciding factor when agencies choose a tool. Whatโ€™s the best email to reach you on?

          Appreciate it! You can get everything about us from The Nevon website. If you want to see the privacy aspect in action before we chat, run a test on our crushsvg website, link in my profile, with your browser's Network tab open. You'll see zero outbound requests everything executes locally in the DOM.

            The local execution is a stronger proof point than simply claiming privacy. Iโ€™ll take a look at the workflow โ€” especially whether the privacy benefit is something agencies actually notice without being prompted.

I kept running into the same problem doing freelance web and design work: clients send SVG logos or icons, and I need a clean PNG fast for an email template, a landing page, or a client handoff.
