FAQ

PNG to SVG, answered.

Will I lose quality converting PNG to SVG?

PrivateRemix preserves your content faithfully during the conversion. Text, images and layout are carried across as cleanly as the formats allow.

Does PNG keep transparency?

Yes. PNG stores a full alpha channel, so transparent backgrounds are preserved. Formats like JPG do not support transparency and will fill it with a solid colour.

Can any image become a clean SVG?

Vector tracing works best on logos, icons and flat graphics with clear edges. Detailed photographs will trace, but the result is an approximation rather than a pixel-perfect copy.

Do my files get uploaded when I convert PNG to SVG?

No. PrivateRemix runs entirely on your Mac using its own processor. Your PNG files never leave the device — there is no server to upload to, and it works fully offline.

Can I convert several PNG files to SVG at once?

Yes. Drop in a batch of PNG files and PrivateRemix converts them all locally, saving each new SVG next to its original.
