Cloud upload icon: PNG to SVG example
A gradient cloud with an upward arrow and sparkles, on a transparent background.
- Scales to any size
- One file from a favicon to a poster
- Editable shapes
- 129
- Colors you can swap
- 52+ 26 gradients
- File size
- 128 KB SVG
The original PNG is 191 KB. To print it 4000 px wide as a PNG you would need a 2.58 MB file (21x the SVG), and it would still be an enlarged copy of the same pixels. The SVG stays this size at every size.
Each of the 52 colors in the file is a value you can change, so the whole image recolors instantly. A PNG can only be recolored by repainting it.
Same file, any size
The SVG is drawn fresh at every size. The PNG can only be stretched or squeezed, shown here without smoothing so you see its real pixels.
Favicon, 16 px
Card, 200 px
Poster, 4000 px wide
A window of the print at full size, around the same detail.

What the vectorizer did
- The cloud shading came back as 26 gradients and the thin orange arrow outline as its own shape.
- Tiny dots and stars around the cloud are kept.
- The SVG is about two thirds of the PNG size.
