PNG to SVG Conversion FAQ
How do I convert PNG to SVG without losing image quality?
+
Upload your PNG file, then our converter applies format-aware quality optimization for SVG output. For lossless targets (PNG, TIFF, BMP, PSD) we preserve every pixel; for lossy targets (JPG, WebP, GIF) you can tune the quality factor before download.
Does PNG to SVG conversion preserve transparency?
+
Transparency survives when going to PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, ICO, PSD or SVG. Converting to JPG / JPEG / JFIF flattens the alpha channel against a white background — if you need transparency, target a transparency-aware format instead of SVG.
Will my color profile (sRGB / Adobe RGB / CMYK) survive PNG to SVG?
+
Embedded ICC color profiles are read from the source PNG and re-attached to the SVG output where the format supports it (JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, PSD). Formats without profile support (GIF, BMP, ICO, SVG) fall back to sRGB.
What about EXIF metadata when converting PNG to SVG?
+
Camera EXIF (ISO, shutter, lens, GPS) is preserved by default during PNG → SVG conversion when both formats support metadata (JPG, TIFF, WebP, PSD). Use the privacy option to strip metadata before download if you want to share images without geolocation.
Can I batch-convert hundreds of PNG files to SVG at once?
+
Yes — drag multiple PNG files into the upload zone and we queue them in parallel. Free users get 100MB per file; Premium has no per-file cap and runs more parallel workers, so a 200-image batch typically finishes in under two minutes.
How does PNG to SVG compare to Photoshop / GIMP for the same task?
+
For straightforward format conversion we run the same libpng / libjpeg-turbo / libwebp / ImageMagick pipelines a desktop editor uses, with the same output quality. The difference is that desktop tools open one file at a time; jpg.to accepts a batch and runs them in parallel.
What resolution and dimensions will my SVG file have?
+
Default behaviour is 1:1 — your SVG output has the same pixel dimensions as the source PNG. ICO output is the exception (it produces a multi-resolution stack: 16/32/48/64/128/256). If you need to resize as part of the conversion, use /resize/ after conversion.
How small can the SVG file get without visible artifacts?
+
For JPG / JPEG / WebP, quality 75-85 typically gets the file 60-80% smaller than the source PNG with no visible difference at normal viewing distance. For lossless targets (PNG, TIFF, BMP), expect smaller savings — usually 5-30% via better deflate / LZW compression.
Are my PNG files private during conversion?
+
Yes — uploaded PNG files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. We never read, store, or share the pixel data. The full privacy policy and retention window are documented at /privacy/.
Does the PNG to SVG converter work for very large images (50MP+)?
+
Yes for free up to 100MB. Premium handles larger inputs (300MB+) and exotic per-pixel depths (16-bit PNG, 32-bit float TIFF, multi-layer PSD). The pipeline streams pixel rows, so memory use scales with the row count not the total pixel count.
Why is my converted SVG file bigger / smaller than I expected?
+
A PNG file with strong compression (e.g. heavily lossy JPG) often grows when re-encoded to a lossless SVG (PNG, TIFF, BMP), and a high-bitrate lossless PNG often shrinks dramatically when going to JPG/WebP. The ratio depends on image content (photos compress differently from line art).
Can I use the converted SVG file commercially?
+
Yes. The conversion is a format change — copyright on the image content stays with you (or whoever held it on the source PNG). We add no watermark, no metadata stamp, and claim no licence over the output.
