SVG to WebP Conversion FAQ
At what size should I rasterize SVG to WebP?
+
Your SVG file has no inherent pixel size — it is geometry, so you choose the output resolution. Pick the largest size you will actually display, then scale down in the browser; rasterizing small and scaling up is what produces the soft, blocky WebP everyone complains about. We default to 1024px on the long edge and let you override it.
Why does my SVG look sharp but the WebP looks blurry?
+
Because SVG is XML geometry rather than pixels, so it scales to any size without blurring but has no pixel grid to sample from. Rasterizing samples that geometry onto a fixed pixel grid once, and after that the WebP is just pixels — zooming in reveals the grid. Re-export at 2x or 3x the display size if the image will be viewed on a high-DPI screen.
Do fonts inside my SVG render correctly in the WebP?
+
Text inside your SVG references a font by name. If the font is embedded or converted to outlines it renders exactly; if it merely names a font the renderer does not have, a substitute is used and the spacing shifts. Convert text to paths in your editor before uploading if the WebP must match exactly.
Does transparency survive SVG to WebP?
+
It depends entirely on the target. PNG, WebP, TIFF and ICO keep the alpha channel, so an unfilled SVG background stays transparent in the WebP. JPG, JPEG and JFIF have no alpha at all and composite onto white instead.
Can I set a background colour instead of transparency?
+
Yes — when the WebP format cannot store alpha we composite onto a solid colour, white by default. If your artwork is light-on-transparent it will vanish against white, so set an explicit background before converting rather than after.
How do I get a retina / 2x WebP from my SVG?
+
Set the export width to double your CSS display width. Because SVG is resolution-independent there is no quality penalty for asking for a larger raster — the only cost is file size. A 2x export is the normal recipe for logos on high-DPI displays.
Does the converter support CSS, gradients and filters in the SVG?
+
Standard SVG features — linear and radial gradients, clip paths, masks, opacity, transforms and inline CSS — render correctly. Externally-linked stylesheets, remote images and script-driven animation do not, because rendering happens in an isolated sandbox with no network access.
Why is my WebP file so much larger than the SVG?
+
Where your SVG stores a logo as a few dozen path commands can be a couple of kilobytes; the same logo as a 2048px WebP is millions of pixels. That is normal and expected — vector stores instructions, raster stores every pixel.
Should I keep using SVG on the web instead of converting?
+
For logos, icons and flat illustration, yes — browsers render SVG natively and it stays crisp at every zoom level. Convert to WebP when you need a fixed raster for an email, a social preview, an older CMS, or any tool that will not accept vector input.
Can I rasterize many SVG files to WebP at once?
+
Yes — drop the whole set into the upload zone and each is rendered independently at the same export size. This is the usual way to produce a consistent icon set or a batch of social-card images from a directory of source artwork.
What happens to layers and groups in the SVG?
+
They are composited in document order into a single flat WebP. Grouping, ids and layer names are structural metadata with no raster equivalent, so they are not preserved. Export separate SVG files if you need the pieces to stay separate.
Is my SVG artwork private during conversion?
+
Yes — uploads are rendered in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. Nothing is inspected, stored or reused, and the renderer has no outbound network access, so source artwork referencing a remote asset cannot phone home. See /privacy/.
