Often you'll need an asset to be a specific size and in a particular format. In Lingo, resizing and converting files is quick and easy, with no additional tools required.
These features are available on all plans to all users
How to convert and resize assets
When downloading assets that support conversion and resizing you will see options in the download menu. Some assets may include both preset options as well as a custom export.
When to use different formats
Note that the available file formats depend on the original asset type. For example, vector files (SVG, PDF, EPS) cannot be converted to raster formats (PNG, JPG, etc.) and vice versa.
Use vector formats (SVG, PDF, EPS) when:
You need to scale the image without losing quality
You're sending to print or a designer
You need to edit the paths or shapes
Use PNG when:
You need transparency
You're using the image on the web
You need crisp edges (logos, icons, text)
Use JPG when:
File size is a priority
The image is a photograph
You don't need transparency
Use WEBP when:
You're optimizing for web performance
You want smaller file sizes with good quality
Size options
When downloading raster images (PNG, JPG, WEBP, TIFF), you can choose from several size options. The size field accepts various formats:
500w- Export at 500px wide (height scales proportionally)500h- Export at 500px high (width scales proportionally)500x500- Fit the image in a 500x500px box, maintaining aspect ratio2x- Export at twice the original size500- Fit the longest side to 500px
How size affects quality
Vector files (SVG, PDF, EPS) - Can be scaled to any size without losing quality
Raster files (PNG, JPG, etc.) - Quality depends on the original upload size. Scaling up beyond the original size may result in pixelation.
