| File extension | .SVGZ, .SVG |
| Category | Image File |
| Description | SVG is a vector type of graphics, such files provide excellent data compression within the small file size. It provides scaling up to any size without loss in quality, supports various filters and interactivity. This format is aimed at storing either vector or vector/raster graphic data in XML code, supporting animated graphics. SVG files are actually text image description that can be edited and read in text editors. They are less in size than JPEG or GIF copies of the same quality. |

| Description | PNG images provide lossless compression, that is why the quality of the picture is nice, but the size of the file is huge. Because of it this file format is used by photographers. PNG may have several layers of transparency and even include short text descriptions which help search engines to examine the file. Although PNG was developed to replace GIF and partly other formats, it doesn’t support animation since it can’t contain several images like GIF. |

SVGZ is a gzip-compressed SVG file. Most image editors, CMS platforms, and social media sites do not accept SVGZ — they expect uncompressed SVG or a raster format like PNG. Converting SVGZ to PNG decompresses the vector data and rasterizes it at the resolution you need, producing a file that opens everywhere without browser or software compatibility issues.
SVGZ is an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file compressed with gzip, typically reducing file size by 60–80% compared to uncompressed SVG. The .svgz extension identifies these compressed files. While the SVG 1.1 specification includes SVGZ as a valid delivery format, browser support is inconsistent: Firefox and Chrome handle SVGZ served with the correct MIME type, but many web servers, CDNs, CMS platforms, and email clients reject it or display nothing. SVGZ files cannot be opened directly in most design applications without decompression.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format that supports full 24-bit color and an 8-bit alpha channel for transparency. PNG is universally supported by every web browser, image editor, operating system viewer, and document application. It uses DEFLATE lossless compression, so pixel data is preserved exactly. PNG is the preferred format for graphics, icons, diagrams, and screenshots where lossless quality matters.
When converting vector SVGZ to raster PNG, set the output DPI before converting. 96 DPI is adequate for screen use. For print, use 300 DPI. For icons or UI assets on high-DPI screens, 192 DPI (2×) produces sharp results. A larger DPI produces a larger pixel canvas from the same vector source.
| Feature | SVGZ | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| File type | Gzip-compressed XML vector | Lossless raster (bitmap) |
| Scalability | Resolution-independent | Fixed pixel resolution |
| Browser support | Inconsistent (MIME type dependent) | Universal |
| CMS/email support | Often rejected | Universally accepted |
| Transparency | Yes (SVG alpha) | Yes (8-bit alpha channel) |
| File size | Small (compressed vector) | Depends on image complexity |
| Editability | XML source (after decompression) | Pixel editing only |
| Print readiness | Requires SVG-capable RIP | Accepted everywhere at set DPI |
The online converter processes individual SVGZ files. For bulk conversion of SVGZ icon sets, diagram libraries, or asset archives, Total Image Converter (Windows, $29.90) converts entire folders at once:
