What it is
PNG vs SVG compares a raster format (PNG) with a vector format (SVG).
Why it matters
This choice affects visual sharpness, scalability, and performance in web and app interfaces.
Common use cases
- PNG: photos, screenshots, texture-heavy graphics
- SVG: icons, logos, line art, UI assets
- Both: combine where each format is strongest
Quick comparison
Use SVG when scalability and crisp edges matter. Use PNG when pixel detail is required.
