Some metadata may not survive
Your PNG file may contain tEXt, iTXt, ICC metadata. SVG has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
PNGは手軽な画像形式として広く使われていますが、拡大するとどうしても輪郭がぼやけてしまいます。SVGに変換すれば、どんなサイズに引き伸ばしても線がくっきりと保たれます。名刺やロゴ、同人誌の表紙デザインなど、印刷物やウェブ問わず鮮明さが求められる場面で力を発揮します。とくに細かい文字や繊細な線を多用するデザインほど、その差は歴然です。変換の手順はシンプルで、専門的な知識がなくてもすぐに使いこなせます。
- 同人誌・コミックのロゴやタイトルロゴの高解像度化
- 会社案内・名刺用の社章・ロゴマークの印刷対応
- 縦組みテキストを含むWebバナーやポスターのベクター化
日本語フォントは字形が複雑なため、PNGをSVGに変換する際にテキスト部分がパス化されていると、フォント未埋め込みによる文字化けを防げます。とくに縦書きレイアウトを扱うデザイナーにとって、SVGのパス変換は実用上の安心感につながります。
About PNG to SVG Conversion
Short answer: yes, you can convert PNG to SVG online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .png file to CocoConvert, pick SVG as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.
Now for the details. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, making it perfect for graphics, logos, and screenshots. SVG is a vector format that uses XML to describe shapes mathematically — infinitely scalable with tiny file sizes. Converting between these two formats lets you optimize files for fast web delivery.
Full Name: PNG uses Portable Network Graphics, while SVG uses Scalable Vector Graphics. Compression: PNG uses Lossless, while SVG uses None (uncompressed). Transparency: PNG uses Yes, while SVG uses Yes.
Your PNG file is decoded and re-encoded as SVG. Converting PNG to SVG maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.
Need to convert more than one file? Free users can do 5 per hour. Pro gets 100 per hour with files up to 5 GB each.
