Vector Graphics for Beginners: SVG vs PNG

When to use SVG vs PNG for logos, icons, and UI — and when to convert raster to vector.

2026-05-08

PNG is perfect for photos and complex screenshots. Logos and flat icons are better as SVG: infinite scale, smaller files for simple shapes, and easy CSS/theme tweaks.

Use PNG when you need photographic detail. Convert to SVG when you have flat color regions, sharp edges, and brand marks that must scale.

VectorHit is built for that second case — not for replacing every PNG on your site, but for fast logo and icon vectorization in the browser.
