What Is an SVG?
Learn how Scalable Vector Graphics store artwork, why they stay sharp at different sizes, and when a raster format is a better fit.
How SVG stores an image
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based format for two-dimensional artwork. Instead of recording a fixed grid of pixels, an SVG describes shapes, paths, text, fills, and strokes that a renderer draws on demand.
That description lets a logo or icon render at different sizes without enlarging a fixed pixel grid. The actual appearance still depends on the SVG markup, referenced fonts, and the features supported by the renderer.
- SVG is well suited to logos, icons, diagrams, and interface graphics.
- Raster formats such as PNG and JPEG store pixels and have fixed dimensions.
- An SVG can include text, styles, gradients, clipping paths, and other XML elements.
When to convert an SVG
Some apps, email clients, upload workflows, and image-processing tools expect raster files. In those cases, convert the SVG to a PNG or another supported format at the pixel dimensions needed for the destination.
