The Portable Network Graphics format uses lossless DEFLATE compression and supports a full alpha-transparency channel, preserving every pixel exactly as encoded. Converting to SVG produces a vector file that stores shapes, paths, and text as XML vector coordinates that scale to any resolution without quality loss. This traces the raster pixels into vector paths, making the result scalable without quality loss. Metadata such as creation date and embedded colour profiles is preserved where the target format supports it. This makes SVG the practical choice when the destination system requires it or when the original format is not supported by the target application. 1converter runs this conversion on the server: your file is uploaded encrypted over HTTPS, converted using trusted open-source libraries, and the output is held for 24 hours before automatic deletion.
