Script lettering: PNG to SVG example
Formal script lettering with a spaced caps line and a swash underline.
- Scales to any size
- One file from a favicon to a poster
- Editable shapes
- 17
- Colors you can swap
- 3
- File size
- 12 KB SVG
The original PNG is 39 KB. To print it 4000 px wide as a PNG you would need a 870 KB file (71x 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 3 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.

- Thin hairlines in the script stay connected instead of breaking into separate pieces.
- The SVG is about a third of the PNG size.
