Can I convert a PNG to SVG?

Only by tracing it, which approximates the pixels with shapes. That works acceptably for a flat two-colour logo and badly for anything else — a traced photograph becomes an enormous file that looks like a bad poster. If a vector original exists, use it rather than tracing.

Should my logo be SVG or PNG?

SVG wherever it is supported, with a PNG fallback for email and for platforms that reject SVG uploads. SVG stays sharp on any screen at any size and is usually a fraction of the file size.

PNG vs SVG

SVG is the right choice for logos, icons and anything drawn from shapes: it is infinitely scalable, usually tiny, and can be restyled with CSS. PNG is the right choice for photographs and any image made of pixels, which SVG fundamentally cannot represent efficiently.

	PNG	SVG
Type	Raster — a grid of pixels	Vector — shapes and maths
Scaling	Blurs when enlarged	Perfect at any size
Photographs	Yes	No — unsuitable
Logos and icons	Fixed resolution	Ideal
File size for flat art	Larger	Usually tiny
Styling with CSS	No	Yes — colours, hover, animation
Editing later	Pixels only	Shapes remain editable
