PNG files are a widely used graphics file format used in areas where high-quality images (often with transparency) are required while also retaining a small file size. They are one of the most common formats of file used for web and print mediums and are particularly useful for logos, icons, and other images where multi-level transparency is desired.

The format itself was created in the 1990's with the main aim of storing computer graphics in a high-quality format while minimizing the required storage space. The longer-term aim was to displace the GIF file format and make PNG the number one format for non-lossy, high-quality image formats on the then-burgeoning world wide web.

One of the selling points of the PNG format is its support for multiple levels of transparency, making it superior to the GIF format, which can only handle a single level of transparency. Also, like GIFs, the PNG format supports palletizing image colours down to 256 or 16 colours to help reduce the file size of the PNG.

Extension	SVG
Full Name	Scalable Vector Graphics
Type	Vector
Mime Type	image/svg+xml
Format	Text

SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics, is a graphics file format commonly used by websites and the print industry as a means of representing 2D graphics, most notably icons and logos, in a scalable vector format independent of the user's screen resolution.

Unlike other popular bitmap formats, such as PNG or JPG, whose image quality decreases when the image is rendered at a larger size than its native dimensions, SVGs store the image data as a series of points, lines, and curves. This allows the image to scale to any resolution without loss of detail or pixelation.

SVG files are XML formatted, allowing them to be human-readable and extensible, as well as compact, making them ideal for usage on a website. As SVGs are a standard format used by websites, there is widespread support for opening and editing SVG files within most popular graphics editing software.
