Exporting SVG: choosing the right PNG size
SVG scales to any size, but PNG is a fixed grid of pixels. Export at the largest size you may need so the raster stays sharp wherever it is used.
SVG scales, PNG does not
An SVG stores shapes and coordinates, so it can be drawn at any size without losing sharpness. A PNG stores a fixed number of pixels, so enlarging it softens the image.
When a platform needs PNG instead of SVG, the export size decides how large the image can appear before it looks blurry.
Pick a size that covers the largest use
Think about the biggest place the image will appear — a hero banner, a printed poster, or a high-resolution screen. Export at least that large so the PNG never needs to be scaled up.
For logos and icons, exporting at two times the largest display size gives a crisp result on high-density screens while keeping the file manageable.
PNG or JPG for the export
Most SVG artwork contains sharp lines, flat color, and often transparency, which points to PNG. The lossless format keeps those edges clean.
Use JPG only for vector artwork that is essentially photographic, such as exported illustrations with smooth gradients and no transparency.
