Choosing vector or raster output

SVG describes shapes and paths, making it well suited to logos, icons, and diagrams that need to scale. PNG stores pixels and is suitable for screenshots, textured artwork, and fixed raster exports. An SVG file that merely embeds a photo does not gain true vector scalability.

Întrebări frecvente

Which format is best for a logo?

SVG is usually best when the logo is made from vector shapes and the destination accepts SVG.

Which format is best for screenshots?

PNG is appropriate for screenshots and other pixel-based interface imagery.

Can I keep both formats?

Yes. Keep an editable SVG master and export PNG versions for platforms that require raster files.
