Exporting as PNG
For PNG, in addition to selecting export sizing as described above, you can also select a transparent or opaque (white) background.
Exporting as PDF
Because PDF is a high resolution format, all exported images are in 360 dpi format.
Exporting as SVG
Precision
Higher precision values tend to enlarge exported SVG file size, while lower precision values will have smaller SVG file sizes. The default value of 2 decimal precision will work for most cases, while offering good file sizes.
Remove CDATA
Remove CDATA only when you wanted to format your SVG with your own formatting, otherwise leave this option unchecked.
Compress SVG
Compress SVG uses Nano's compression engine to drastically reduce file size and embed fonts into your SVG, to ensure they display correctly no matter where they are embedded.
Compressing your SVG can result in up to 80% bandwidth savings, and is most suitable for embedding in websites.
Prettify
Choose prettify to format your SVG codes to be more human readable.
