SVG and raster images: when to convert
Vector versus pixels
SVG describes an image as geometric shapes, so it scales to any size without losing sharpness. Logos, icons, and diagrams are usually SVG. JPG and PNG store a fixed grid of pixels, so they cannot scale up without becoming blurry.
Some tools and platforms still do not accept SVG. Converting an SVG to PNG or JPG produces a standard raster image that opens anywhere.
Choosing the raster format
Convert SVG to PNG for sharp edges and transparency support, which keeps logos and icons crisp at any display size. Convert to JPG when a smaller file matters more and the image has no transparency.
PNG is almost always the better choice for SVG output, because vector artwork typically contains sharp lines and flat colors that JPG compression degrades.
