SVG Background Export Workflows
Keep SVG for scalable artwork, but export PNG when the receiving app cannot render SVG predictably.
Why it matters
- Use SVG for scalable source artwork
- Export PNG for compatibility fallback
- Check transparent backgrounds after export
What to know
SVG is useful for icons and diagrams because it scales cleanly and remains editable as vector data.
Some document editors, email tools, and CMS platforms handle PNG more predictably than SVG.
Exporting a transparent PNG fallback protects layout quality when SVG support is uncertain.
