In addition to PDF and PNG, Inkscape can export to a variety of other file formats. A list of available formats in your own Inkscape installation can be found at the bottom of the 'Save ...', 'Save as ...' and 'Save a Copy ...' dialogs.
Some formats only become available when a certain other program is installed on the computer. Third-party Inkscape extensions that you install yourself can also add new file formats to the list.
No matter which format you want to export to, it is recommended to only use the 'Save a Copy ...' functionality for this, and to save your original file as 'Inkscape SVG'. This way, you can always come back and make edits to your original drawing, and you will not lose helpful editor data, such as guides, grids, path effects, layers and more.
When you choose some of these file formats, you will get a dialog prompting you to select further options for export.
Note that most export file formats do not support all Inkscape features.
