About the formats
PNG image

- Full transparency (alpha channel)
- Crisp text, lines and flat colour
Limitations
- Larger files than JPG for photos
- No native animation
- Not ideal for large photographic images
Best for: Logos, icons, screenshots and any graphic that needs transparency or pixel-perfect edges.
SVG vector

Strengths
- Infinitely scalable, always crisp
- Tiny files for flat graphics
- Editable and styleable as code
Limitations
- Not suitable for photographs
- Complex art can get heavy
