About SVG and PNG
- SVG is a vector format: shapes and text are stored as code, so the image stays sharp at any size. Many apps, social networks, documents and email clients can't display SVG and need a regular image instead.
- PNG is a lossless format: it keeps every pixel exactly and supports full transparency. That makes it ideal for screenshots, logos and graphics, but photos saved as PNG are often several times bigger than the same photo as a JPG.
Tips for Mac
- macOS has a built-in option too: select images in Finder, right-click › Quick Actions › Convert Image (macOS 12 or later) converts to JPEG, PNG or HEIF. It can't make WebP, and it has no quality preview.
- Works on Apple silicon and Intel Macs alike – nothing to download from the App Store.
