Frequently Asked Questions
What is SVG?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based format for vector images. Unlike PNG or JPG, SVGs can scale to any size without losing quality.
Why use the checkerboard background?
The checkerboard pattern helps visualize transparency in your SVG. Areas showing the checker pattern are transparent.
Can I convert SVG to PNG?
Yes! Click "Download PNG" to export your SVG as a raster image. The PNG will use your selected background (except checkerboard = transparent).
How do I make my SVG responsive?
Remove fixed width/height attributes and use viewBox instead. For example: <svg viewBox="0 0 100 100"> will scale to fit its container.
