Why ToFormat?
Lossless Compression
QOI (Quite OK Image Format) compresses rasterized SVG without losing any quality. Perfect for archiving icons and game assets where every pixel matters.
Smaller than PNG
QOI often achieves better compression than PNG, especially for graphics with solid colors, while being much faster to encode and decode.
Batch Processing
Upload up to 20 SVG files at once. We'll rasterize each to QOI and package in a ZIP for easy download.
About the Formats
📐 What is SVG?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML‑based vector format for two‑dimensional graphics. It supports interactivity and animation. SVG images scale infinitely without loss of quality, have small file sizes for simple graphics, and can be edited in code or vector editors like Inkscape and Illustrator.
All SVG conversion tools →⚡ What is QOI?
QOI (Quite OK Image Format) is a modern lossless image format created by Dominic Szablewski in 2021. It compresses RGB and RGBA images using a simple, fast algorithm that often outperforms PNG in both speed and file size. QOI is ideal for real-time applications, games, and situations where fast encoding/decoding is critical.

Upload your SVG
Click or drag and drop your SVG files. You can select up to 20 at once.
Choose QOI settings
QOI is lossless by default. Optionally set output dimensions and enable RGBA if your SVG has transparency.
Download QOI
Your QOI files are ready. Download individually or as ZIP. Files auto‑delete in 10 minutes.
When to Convert SVG to QOI
📱 Mobile Apps & Games
QOI's fast decompression makes it perfect for real‑time UI icons, game textures, and mobile applications where performance matters.
💡 Need PNG compatibility? Try SVG to PNG →💾 Storage Optimization
Archive your vector artwork as QOI raster copies. Save disk space with lossless compression that often beats PNG.
💡 For web: SVG to WebP →🚀 Real‑Time Rendering
Use QOI for UI textures in real‑time renderers – it's designed for speed, making it ideal for live applications.
💡 Also try SVG to TGA →🔄 Legacy to Modern
Have old SVG files? Rasterize them to QOI for a modern, space‑efficient format that's easy to work with.
💡 Back to vector: QOI to SVG →Format Comparison
| Format | SVG | QOI |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| File Size | Larger | Larger |
QOI is a great lossless alternative to PNG. For web delivery, WebP offers lossy compression. Need to revert to SVG? Use our QOI to SVG converter (note: raster‑to‑vector conversion has limits).
💡 Pro Tips
- QOI is always lossless – there are no quality settings. Perfect when you need exact pixel reproduction from your SVG.
- It is especially efficient for graphics with solid colors and sharp edges, often compressing better than PNG while being 10‑20x faster.
- If your SVG contains an alpha channel, enable RGBA mode to preserve transparency. QOI handles alpha efficiently.
- Set a specific output width/height if you need exact dimensions. By default we use the SVG’s viewport.
- Convert in batch mode – upload multiple SVGs and download all QOIs as a ZIP archive. Great for converting icon sets.
- We strip metadata by default for privacy. SVG rarely contains EXIF, so any present is removed.
- QOI is supported in many modern tools and libraries. Check if your target software supports it before converting.
How SVG to QOI Conversion Works
SVG is a vector format that describes images with mathematical paths. QOI is a raster format that stores pixels. Converting from vector to raster is called rasterization. Our server renders your SVG at the chosen resolution (default: its natural size), then encodes the resulting pixels as QOI using its fast lossless algorithm. For SVGs with transparency, we preserve the alpha channel in RGBA mode.
All processing is done in memory, and your files are permanently deleted after 10 minutes.
SVG vs QOI: Key Differences
Nature: SVG is vector (scalable, editable); QOI is raster (fixed resolution, pixel‑based).
File size: SVG can be tiny for simple graphics; QOI offers modern lossless compression that often beats PNG for rasterized vectors.
Speed: QOI is designed for fast encoding/decoding, often 10‑20x faster than PNG.
Use cases: SVG for logos, icons, illustrations that need scaling; QOI for games, apps, and real‑time graphics.
When to Convert SVG to QOI
Convert SVG to QOI when you need a modern, losslessly compressed raster for applications where speed and file size matter. QOI is perfect for game UI assets, mobile app icons, and any scenario where you want PNG‑like quality with better performance and smaller files. Always keep the original SVG for editing and scalability.
Our QOI to SVG converter can help you revert, but note that raster‑to‑vector conversion is a tracing process – results vary based on image complexity.
