How to Convert PNG to SVG

SVG describes images as mathematical shapes and paths, which lets logos and icons scale to any size without losing sharpness. PNG, despite being lossless, is still a raster format made of fixed pixels, so converting a PNG graphic to SVG doesn't automatically turn it into a true scalable vector — instead, the PNG's pixel data is embedded inside an SVG container using a base64-encoded image element, producing a valid SVG file without vectorizing the actual shapes in the image.

This embedding approach is still useful when a specific tool, plugin, or platform requires an SVG file as input, even if the underlying content is a raster PNG, since the wrapped image displays correctly wherever SVG is expected. PNG's alpha channel transparency is preserved in this process since the embedded image keeps its original pixel data, including any transparency.

1. Install Batchify Image Converter and Resizer Pro on your Windows PC.
2. Open the app and select Batch Mode for multiple files, or Individual Mode for a single PNG.
3. Drag your PNG file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
4. Set the "From" format to PNG and the "To" format to SVG.
5. Click Convert. Each PNG is embedded into a valid SVG container written to your output folder, fully offline.

• 100% offline — your images are never uploaded anywhere
• Bulk conversion of entire folders, including sub-folders, in one click
• Preserves transparency from the original PNG's alpha channel
• Produces SVG files compatible with tools that specifically require SVG input
• Multi-core processing for fast handling of large batches
• Option to delete original PNG files automatically after conversion

If you only need straightforward format conversion without RAW or HEIC support, Batchify Image Converter and Resizer Lite covers this exact PNG-to-SVG conversion in a lighter, more focused app.
