Format comparison

Source

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector format that displays sharply at any size.

Pros

  • Infinitely scalable
  • Editable as text
  • Animation support

Cons

  • Not suitable for photos
  • Heavy for complex images
Target

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses lossless compression and supports transparency. Ideal for logos and screenshots.

Pros

  • Lossless compression
  • Alpha transparency
  • Great for sharp edges

Cons

  • Larger file sizes
  • Inefficient for photos

When to Convert SVG to PNG

Export SVG to PNG for environments that don’t support SVG—useful for social media, docs, and presentations.

Technical Format Details

SVG Technical Specifications

Technical details


SVG is a vector format, so it stays sharp at any scale. When you convert it to a raster format like PNG, the output size (width/height) becomes the key decision.

Good for

- Logos/icons: Resolution-independent assets
- Docs/slides: Diagrams and simple illustrations

Notes

- Sizing: Output size depends on SVG width/height and viewBox. Use resize controls when needed
- Rendering differences: Fonts and filters can render differently across environments—preview for important designs

PNG Technical Specifications

Technical details


PNG is a lossless raster format that preserves pixel data exactly. It supports alpha transparency, which makes it a common choice for logos and UI assets.

Good for

- Logos/icons: Assets that need transparency
- Screenshots: Crisp text and line art

Notes

- Photos: Files can be large (WebP/JPEG may be a better fit)
- Quality setting: Since PNG is lossless, “quality” controls may have little or no effect

How to Use

1

Add files

Drop or click to select your SVG files (multiple supported)

2

Confirm output

Default is PNG. You can change to another supported output format if needed.

3

Adjust options

Set quality, resize, and metadata options only if you need them.

4

Convert & download

Download each file, or download everything as a ZIP for batch outputs.

FAQ

How are SVG and PNG different?

SVG is vector-based and scales without quality loss. PNG is pixel-based with universal compatibility.

Can I choose the output size?

SVG is resolution-independent, so the output resolution depends on the canvas size used during conversion.

Is transparency preserved?

Yes. Transparent areas in SVG are correctly preserved as PNG alpha channels.

Will converting reduce image quality?

It depends on the output format. PNG is lossless, so quality stays the same. Lossy formats like JPEG/WebP/AVIF/JXL can change file size and appearance depending on the quality setting. Always verify with the final output before publishing.

Can I keep Exif metadata?

When "Keep Exif/Metadata" is ON, we try to carry over things like capture time, camera info, and GPS where possible. Some tags may be dropped depending on the input, output format, and browser environment. Turn it OFF if you want to remove location data before sharing.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes. You can select multiple files, convert them in one run, and download each file individually. For multiple outputs, you can also download everything as a ZIP. For very large batches, splitting into smaller runs is more stable.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs locally in your browser, and your images are not sent to an external server.

What if conversion fails or is slow?

Some formats (like HEIC/HEIF) depend on browser support. If it fails, try another browser, reduce the number of files, or resize before converting.
