What happens when you convert PSD to SVG?

Raster image inside SVG

Output is a self-contained SVG containing one lossless 8-bit RGBA PNG at the developed image dimensions. It preserves rendered transparency, but creates no vector paths, editable text or new detail. Animation, layers, extra channels and original metadata are not retained.

Rendered composition

PSD conversion uses the saved merged 8-bit RGB or grayscale bitmap. Layers are not recomposited; masks, editable text and effects do not survive as document structure. 16-bit PSD, CMYK and PSB are unsupported. Keep the working original.

Sample precision & colour

Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.

Is PSD → SVG right for you?

Good choice when

  • SVG fits your delivery use: Diagrams & scalable symbols.
  • You need a portable SVG with embedded pixels.
  • You need a rendered delivery copy of the composition.
  • You can validate the destination’s sample precision and colour interpretation.

Probably not when

  • You need resolution-independent paths or vector editing.
  • You must keep masks, layer effects or editable text.
  • You require identical samples without a defined colour and precision policy.

PSD to SVG conversion details

Raster image inside SVG
Output is a self-contained SVG containing one lossless 8-bit RGBA PNG at the developed image dimensions. It preserves rendered transparency, but creates no vector paths, editable text or new detail. Animation, layers, extra channels and original metadata are not retained.
Rendered composition
PSD conversion uses the saved merged 8-bit RGB or grayscale bitmap. Layers are not recomposited; masks, editable text and effects do not survive as document structure. 16-bit PSD, CMYK and PSB are unsupported. Keep the working original.
Sample precision & colour
Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.
Metadata & colour
This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied. Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.
Compression
PSD: Lossless → SVG: Not a pixel codec PSD: PSD channel compression is lossless, but a document may contain previously lossy source assets. Composite rendering and layer editing are different capabilities; this page does not claim portable animation playback. SVG: SVG describes geometry rather than using a lossy/lossless pixel codec. XML can be compressed for transport, but rasterization is a separate operation that fixes resolution and can discard editability.
Transparency
PSD: Yes → SVG: Yes
Animation
PSD: No → SVG: Yes
Colour depth
PSD: 8 / 16 / 32 bits/channel
HDR
PSD: 32-bit workflows
Layers
PSD: Layers & masks
Vector graphics
SVG: Paths, shapes & text
Dimensions
Conversion keeps the decoded image dimensions unless you edit or resize it. Orientation is applied by supported decoders. ICO fits the image into one selected square size; PDF page layout and rendering DPI are configurable. Device, memory and codec limits still apply.
Metadata
This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied.

Common questions

Does SVG output trace vector paths?

Output is a self-contained SVG containing one lossless 8-bit RGBA PNG at the developed image dimensions. It preserves rendered transparency, but creates no vector paths, editable text or new detail. Animation, layers, extra channels and original metadata are not retained.

Will the editable PSD layers survive?

PSD conversion uses the saved merged 8-bit RGB or grayscale bitmap. Layers are not recomposited; masks, editable text and effects do not survive as document structure. 16-bit PSD, CMYK and PSB are unsupported. Keep the working original.

Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?

Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.

Will metadata and colour profiles be retained?

This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied. Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.
