What is SVG?
SVG is a vector format: shapes and text scale cleanly to any size. Formatly can rasterize SVG into formats like PNG or JPG when you need a fixed-resolution bitmap.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is best for turning vector artwork into a portable bitmap. Extensions: .svg. MIME: image/svg+xml. Can be used as input. Input only.
Common uses
- Logos and icons that must stay sharp at any size
- Illustrations authored in design tools
- Rasterizing vectors for email or apps that reject SVG
Things to know
- Rasterizing locks the image to a chosen pixel size
- Formatly does not encode SVG — only decode/rasterize
- Complex SVG filters may render differently across engines
- Formatly converts SVG in your browser. Files are not uploaded.
Formatly can open SVG and export to JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, ICO, PDF.
