SVG vs PNG
| SVG | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Vector (no pixels) | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | Yes | No |
| Colors | Vector shapes: no pixels, sharp at any size | Up to 16 bits per channel, full alpha |
| File size (photos) | Tiny for icons and logos | Large for photos, small for graphics |
| Opens on | Every browser and design tool; not accepted by many upload forms and office apps | Every browser, phone and computer |
| Best for | Logos, icons and illustrations that must stay sharp at any size | Screenshots, logos, graphics with text and anything that needs a transparent background |
About SVG and PNG
What is SVG?
SVG describes an image with shapes and paths instead of pixels, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size. It is the standard format for logos and icons on the web. Many apps, social networks and upload forms only accept pixel images, so SVGs often need to be rendered to PNG or JPG at a chosen size.
- Infinitely scalable, always sharp
- Tiny files for logos and icons
- Editable as text
- Not accepted by most social networks and upload forms
- Not suitable for photos
What is PNG?
PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it is (lossless compression) and supports smooth, partial transparency. That makes it ideal for screenshots, logos, UI graphics and images with text, but photos saved as PNG are usually 5–10 times bigger than the same photo as JPG.
- Lossless: no quality loss, ever
- Full transparency (alpha channel)
- Crisp text and sharp edges
- Photos are very large
- No animation (except the rarely used APNG variant)
Why GlideConvert?
- Private by design. Your files are converted on your own device by your browser — they are never uploaded to a server. That keeps them private, avoids upload waits and means there is no queue.
- Fast. Images convert in a fraction of a second; video uses your device’s hardware encoder.
- Free. No sign-up, no watermark. 10 images, 5 audio files or one video at a time — Pro lifts the limits and removes ads.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting SVG to PNG reduce quality?
No. PNG is lossless, so the result looks exactly like your SVG. Converting cannot bring back detail the SVG compression already removed, though, and the PNG file will usually be bigger.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. Transparent and semi-transparent areas are kept as they are.
What size will the PNG be?
SVG files have no fixed pixel size. By default we render the SVG at its own width and height; choose 2× or 4× scale, or type an exact width, for a larger and sharper PNG.
Can I convert several SVG images at once?
Yes. The free plan handles 10 images at a time, and you can download everything as a single ZIP. Pro removes the batch limit, converts files in parallel and supports files up to 4 GB.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. GlideConvert runs entirely in your browser: images are processed with the browser’s built-in codecs and WebAssembly, video and audio with hardware-accelerated WebCodecs (or a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg for older formats). Nothing is sent anywhere — you can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows?
Yes. It works in any up-to-date browser — Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox or Samsung Internet — on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install. On phones, extremely large images may be scaled down to fit within the browser’s memory limit; you will see a note if that happens.
