WMV at a glance
WMV
Convert to WMV when working with older Windows-based video libraries, enterprise content systems, or archival workflows that still depend on Microsoft's classic media stack.
It is useful for preservation, migration staging, and controlled legacy playback.
For current cross-platform delivery, MP4 or WebM are usually better destinations.
SVG at a glance
SVG
Convert to SVG when the graphic is primarily lines, shapes, text, or flat illustration and needs to scale cleanly across devices.
It is the best target for logos, icons, schematics, UI assets, charts, floor plans, and technical diagrams that may be edited again or embedded on the web.
Use SVG when file sharpness and downstream styling matter more than photographic realism.
For photos or complex raster artwork, PNG, WebP, or AVIF are usually better; SVG is for vector-native content and browser-friendly graphics.
