Choose predictable transparent pixels
Best for broad compatibility, design handoff, app assets, and workflows that need a fixed pixel result.
- Transparent background
- Output size and Padding
- 1x, 2x, and 3x variants
Icon Format Decision Guide
Choose PNG, WebP, or SVG for every extracted icon
After IconSplit detects icons in an icon sheet, AI-generated asset board, or design screenshot and you finish Repair, choose the output based on delivery needs: exact raster pixels, compact web assets, or scalable editable geometry.
The short answer
Choose compact raster delivery
Best for modern web delivery when you want the same repaired appearance as PNG in a compact format.
- Same Repair result as PNG
- Transparent background
- 1x, 2x, and 3x variants
Choose scalable editable geometry
Best when the icon must remain sharp at arbitrary sizes or designers need editable paths and fills.
- Scalable paths
- Editable filled shapes
- No 1x/2x/3x files required
What changes when you choose the format?
| Requirement | PNG | WebP | SVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preserve repaired raster color | Yes | Yes | Reconstructed |
| Transparent background | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Fixed Output size | Yes | Yes | Not required |
| 1x / 2x / 3x variants | Yes | Yes | Not required |
| Editable geometry | No | No | Yes |
| Complex gradients and textures | Preserved | Preserved | May be approximated |
