Is it possible? A PNG usually consumes less storage space compared to an SVG. Sometimes I need small sized images in sites like Launchpad.

That's actually Inkscape's default.
Open File → Document Properties and click the Background colour option. Make sure the alpha channel is
0as so:Go to File → Export Bitmap (Shift+Ctrl+E) and save the file with a .png extension.
You're done.
Shortcut, at least in MS Windows, is (Shift+Ctrl+E).
