02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- The vector graphic is rendered at 300 DPI, so a 320×210 SVG becomes about 1333×875 pixels, sharp enough for print
- A transparent background stays transparent where the new format allows it
- A plain 24-bit bitmap that opens in practically any Windows program, however old
Good to know
- External images and web fonts linked from the SVG are not loaded. Convert text to outlines (paths) before exporting so it displays correctly.
- The result is one still picture. Animations in the SVG are not played.
- BMP is uncompressed, so the file is far larger than JPG or PNG.
- BMP has no transparency.
- Transparent areas become white, because the new format has no transparency.

SVG vs BMP
SVG
An SVG file describes an image using mathematical shapes and paths instead of pixels, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size. It's the standard format for logos, icons, and illustrations that need to scale without blurring.
Used in: Logos & icons · Illustrations · Scalable UI graphics
BMP
A BMP file stores images with little to no compression, which means large file sizes but one of the simplest possible formats to read. It's an older Windows format you'll mostly encounter in legacy software or basic screenshot tools.
