What is a SVG?
SVG is a vector graphic format—based on XML and is used to display a variety of graphics on the Web and other environments.
Under the hood, SVG documents are nothing more than simple plain text files that describe lines, curves, shapes, colors, and text. As it is human-readable, easily understood and modified, SVG code can be manipulated via CSS or JavaScript. This give SVG a flexiblity and versatility that can’t ever be matched by traditional PNG, GIF or JPGs.
What is a PNG?
PNG stands for “Portable Graphics Format”. It is the most frequently used uncompressed raster image format on the internet. This lossless data compression format was created to replace the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF).
PNG file format is an open format with no copyright limitations. Like GIF images, PNG also have the ability to display transparent backgrounds. In addition to that, PNG files are capable of containing 24bit RGB color palettes and greyscale images. Basically, this image format was designed to transfer images on the internet but with PaintShop Pro, PNG files can be applied with lots of editing effects.
