When is a 29 px PNG of the phone icon enough, and when do you need the SVG?

A PNG of the phone icon is enough when the slide keeps it near 29 px and you will not recolor the stroke. Take the SVG when the same mark must grow, sit on a poster, or follow the font color. The insert guide shows both gestures. The popular row is only a shortcut if this exact phone icon is already sitting there.

Stay with the PNG insert of the phone icon for a body slide locked near 29 px. Switch to the SVG the moment the mark is a hero, a poster, or a control you will tint. Do not pick the file from the popular row unless you have already checked that size.

Stay with the PNG insert of the phone icon for a body slide locked near 29 px. Switch to the SVG the moment the mark is a hero, a poster, or a control you will tint. Do not pick the file from the popular row unless you have already checked that size.

PNG is a locked size

The PNG of the phone icon is drawn for a small tile. At 29 px on a 16:9 slide it stays crisp. Stretch it to full width and the edge frays. That is the limit of the insert, not a defect in the drawing.

SVG follows the frame

The SVG of the phone icon has no baked pixel size. A hero slide and a 29 px caption can share one file. On a recolorable pack the stroke also follows the theme, which a PNG cannot do.

Popular is not a size check

The popular row shows frequent icons, not the right pixel size for your phone icon. Open the guide after you pick, and decide PNG or SVG against the 29 px job in front of you.

One choice per deck — phone-icon

Do not mix a PNG phone icon at 29 px with an SVG hero of the same object. Pick the file that matches the largest use on the deck, then repeat that gesture for the neighbors.

This page chooses PNG or SVG for a phone icon around 29 px. It does not export a new raster and it does not change the pack licence.

Questions

Will a 29 px PNG of the phone icon print cleanly?
On a slide projected or shown on screen, yes. On a large paper page the same PNG softens. Use the SVG of the phone icon for print that will be viewed up close.
Does the guide pick the pixel size for the phone icon?
It shows the insert path and the copy path. You still match them to 29 px or to a larger frame. The guide does not measure your slide.
Should every phone icon in the deck be SVG just in case?
No. A locked 29 px caption is a fine PNG. Use SVG where the phone icon will scale or change color. Mixing without a reason makes the file heavier and the recolor inconsistent.
