Tracing suits logos, icons and flat artwork and scales cleanly. Photos are better kept as pixels inside the SVG.

Should you convert SVG to JPG?

A form or print service needs a JPG of your logo or illustration. We rasterise the SVG at the size you choose and fill the background.

Do this for photographs, where JPG saves a lot of space for a difference that’s hard to see. Keep the SVG if the picture is a screenshot, a diagram or anything with text and hard edges, which JPG smudges.

JPG is also the more widely supported of the two: it opens everywhere, while SVG is opens almost everywhere.

SVG is a vector format made of shapes instead of pixels; JPG is a lossy photo format that trades detail you can’t see for much smaller files. Use JPG for photographs you are sending, uploading or printing, especially when a form or app is fussy about formats.

How to convert SVG to JPG

  1. 01

    Add your SVG

    Drop your SVG image onto the box, or click to choose it. It is read from your disk and stays there.

  2. 02

    Check the settings

    The output is already set to JPG. Change the quality if you want to; the defaults suit most files.

  3. 03

    Save the JPG

    Press convert and save the JPG. Several files come back together as a ZIP.

What changes when SVG becomes JPG

SVG keeps everything, JPG does not

SVG stores the picture exactly. JPG throws away detail to save space, and the quality setting decides how much. At the default of 90 almost nobody can tell on a photograph; on text, lines and flat color the loss shows sooner, as soft halos around edges.

JPG can’t hold transparency

Any transparent area in the SVG has to become a solid color, because JPG has no alpha channel. The background setting decides which color; white suits documents and most uploads, but pick the color of the page it will sit on if you know it, because it can’t be undone later.

Animations become a still

JPG can’t move, so an animated SVG is saved as its first frame. Choose GIF or APNG instead to keep the animation.

Pick the size you need

An SVG has no fixed pixel size, so it is drawn at the size you choose, 1024 pixels on the long side by default. For sharp results on high-resolution screens, use twice the size it will be shown at.

Expect a much larger file

JPG is far bigger for the same content. Choose it because something needs JPG, not to send or store the file. SVG: A simple logo is often only a few KB. JPG: A 12-megapixel phone photo is usually 2–5 MB.

This page is put together from our notes on each format, choosing only what is true of SVG and JPG, so every pairing states the same facts the same way. How these pages are made.

Why it doesn’t upload

Changing a picture’s format is work your browser already knows how to do. Sending your photos to a server first only adds waiting and risk, so nothing is sent.

How to check for yourself

Worth knowing

  • About the SVG. Converting a photograph to SVG does not turn it into vectors. Either the pixels get wrapped inside an SVG, which is bigger and no sharper, or a tracer turns it into flat blobs of color.
  • About the JPG. Re-saving a JPG again and again degrades it, because each save compresses the already compressed version. Keep an original and export to JPG once, at the end.
  • DDS, PSD, EXR, XWD and JPEG 2000 are read by the FFmpeg engine, a one-time 31 MB download.

Questions

Will converting SVG to JPG lose quality?

JPG is lossy, so some detail is discarded. The quality slider decides how much; the default of 90 is chosen so the difference is invisible in almost every photo.

What happens to a transparent background when converting SVG to JPG?

JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background color you choose, white by default.
