SVG is a vector format — it scales to any size without quality loss. But not everything accepts SVG. Email clients don't render SVG. Many social platforms don't support it. Older software and some CMS systems reject SVG uploads. Print workflows sometimes need raster images. Converting SVG to PNG gives you a universally compatible image at exactly the resolution you need.
The key advantage: since SVG is vector, you can scale UP to any size and the PNG will be perfectly sharp. A tiny 100x100 SVG icon can become a crisp 4000x4000 PNG for print.
SVG files often have transparent backgrounds (logos, icons, illustrations). PNG preserves transparency — the output has a transparent background just like the original SVG. JPG does NOT support transparency, so stick with PNG if the background matters.
If you need a white or colored background instead, the Add Text to Image tool can add a background layer.
