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 是截图、贴图、游戏素材的常用格式，但放大之后边缘会模糊，印刷或做成大尺寸海报时问题就来了。SVG 不一样——它用数学描述图形，不管缩到多小、放到多大，线条始终清晰。把 PNG 转成 SVG，最直接的好处是：Logo 和图标可以随意缩放，网页加载更轻快，改颜色也只需改一行代码。当然，SVG 更适合纯色插图和简单图形，复杂的照片类图片转换后效果有限，这一点要提前知道。

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.
