Choosing the right image format can impact your site's performance and clarity. Here's how SVG compares to PNG:
| Feature | SVG | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Scalability | Infinite, no quality loss | Pixelated when scaled |
| File Size | Smaller for simple graphics | Larger overall |
| Interactivity | Supports animation & hover | Static only |
| Use Case | Icons, diagrams, UI assets | Photos, screenshots |
Use SVGs for anything clean and line-based. Save PNGs for images with complex colour gradients.
