I made a tutorial about this here if you need more details.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you edit PNG in Inkscape?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Inkscape will save it as a PNG. If you need another format, you&#8217;ll have to open it in a program that allows you to change it to another extension. I usually use the GIMP for this.
