Designing a logo? If you pick the wrong format, it will look blurry. Learn when to use math (SVG) instead of pixels (PNG).

The Verdict

**It depends on the content.** For logos, icons, and charts, **SVG is the winner** because it scales infinitely. For photographs and screenshots, **PNG is the winner**.

Scalability

Winner: SVG

You can zoom into an SVG 1,000,000% and it stays sharp. If you zoom into a PNG, it becomes a blocky mess. For 'Responsive Web Design', SVG is king.

Complexity

Winner: PNG

If you have a photo of a face, an SVG would need millions of math equations to draw it, causing lag. A PNG just stores the pixels efficiently.

File Size (Logos)

Winner: SVG

For a simple company logo, an SVG can be 2KB. A high-res PNG of the same logo might be 50KB. SVG wins for simple graphics.
