PNG or SVG?
- PNG — fixed resolution, universally supported, ideal for slides and chat.
- SVG — vector, infinitely scalable, ideal for papers, posters and print. Use the 2D structure generator for SVG output.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the image small?
The default canvas is 300 × 300 pixels. For a larger figure, use the SVG output and scale it, or render at higher resolution with a local OpenBabel install.
Can I get a transparent background?
The PNG output has a white background. SVG output keeps a transparent background.
