Is it possible? A PNG usually consumes less storage space compared to an SVG. Sometimes I need small sized images in sites like Launchpad.

When I simply save as PNG, the background remains white, not transparent.

That's actually Inkscape's default.

• Open File → Document Properties and click the Background colour option. Make sure the alpha channel is 0 as so:

• Go to File → Export Bitmap (Shift+Ctrl+E) and save the file with a .png extension.

You're done.

Shortcut, at least in MS Windows, is (Shift+Ctrl+E).

Inkscape 0.91
