An SVG has no size of its own. It is drawn at whatever size you ask for, which is why converting it is a decision about resolution rather than a copy, and why a logo can come out at any size you like without going soft.

  1. 1

    Where your SVG came from

    An SVG is a drawing described in text: shapes, paths and coordinates rather than pixels. Logos, icons and anything a designer exported for the web arrive as one.

    Why you are converting it

    Anything that expects pixels. Office documents, most photo software, printers, social uploads and email clients will either refuse it or render it wrong. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, which is why it is what you convert to when the result has to be exact rather than small.
