PNG is a raster format with individual pixels, while SVG is a vector format based on paths and shapes. Raster-to-vector conversion requires interpreting the pixels in the PNG and recreating them as paths in the SVG. This process can be complex, especially if the PNG image has gradients, shadows, or intricate details.
Depending on the conversion method, details in the PNG image may be lost, especially with images that have gradients, textures, or fine lines. Automatic tracing methods might produce rough or jagged edges, which can distort the original look of the image.
It is now a very challenging job to convert png to jpg in Windows 10 in order to retain transparent background!
