SVG vs PNG — When to Use Which
| Use case | SVG | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Website icons & logos | ✓ Best — scales perfectly | ✓ OK — use 2× for retina |
| Social media images | ✗ Not supported | ✓ Required |
| Email attachments | ✗ Not supported | ✓ Use PNG or JPG |
| Print documents | ✓ Best — infinite resolution | ✓ OK — need 300+ DPI |
| Animations | ✓ CSS/SMIL animations | ✗ Static only |
| Transparency | ✓ Native support | ✓ Native support (not JPG) |
| File size | Small for simple shapes | Larger — pixel data |
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between SVG and PNG?
- SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector format — it stores shapes as mathematical descriptions, so it scales to any size without quality loss. PNG is a raster format — it stores a fixed grid of pixels. SVG is ideal for logos, icons, and illustrations. PNG is needed when embedding in documents, sending to printers, or using in contexts that don't support SVG (some email clients, older apps).
- At what size should I export my SVG as PNG?
- For web use: export at the display size × scale factor (for retina, use 2×). For a 32px icon on a retina screen, export at 64×64px with 2× scale. For print: use at least 300 DPI — a 2-inch icon at 300 DPI needs 600×600px. For social media thumbnails: check the platform's recommended dimensions (Twitter: 1200×628, OG: 1200×630).
- Does converting SVG to PNG lose quality?
- Only if you choose too small a resolution. SVG scales perfectly to any size; the PNG output is rasterized at the dimensions you set. If you convert a logo to 32×32px and then try to display it at 256×256px, it will be blurry. Always export at the largest size you'll need, then scale down.
- Why does my SVG appear different in the PNG?
- Some SVG features are not supported in all renderers: CSS animations are not captured (only the static frame is rendered), some web fonts may not be available during rendering, and complex filters or effects may render differently. Ensure your SVG is self-contained (inline styles, not external stylesheets).
- What is the 2× and 3× scale option for?
- These are pixel density multipliers for retina and high-DPI screens. If your icon is displayed at 32×32 CSS pixels, a 2× export gives you 64×64 physical pixels — sharp on retina displays. The browser scales it down to the display size, but the extra pixels are used for sharpness.
- Can I convert SVG to transparent PNG?
- Yes. Select "Transparent" as the background option. The resulting PNG will preserve all transparent areas from the original SVG. JPG and WebP with quality < 100% will show artifacts on transparent areas — use PNG for transparency.
