Scalable Vector Graphics
MIME type: image/svg+xml
SVG is an XML-based vector image format for 2D graphics. Unlike raster formats, SVG images can be scaled to any size without losing quality, making them perfect for logos, icons, and responsive web graphics.
SVG is defined in XML and describes 2D graphics using paths, shapes, text, and embedded raster images. Paths use a compact command syntax (M, L, C, Z) for move, line, curve, and close operations. SVG supports gradients, filters, clipping, masking, and SMIL animations natively. Files can be compressed with gzip (served as .svgz) for 50-80% size reduction.
Use SVG for logos, icons, illustrations, and any graphic that needs to look sharp at multiple sizes. Use PNG for screenshots, photographs, and complex raster images. SVGs are typically much smaller for simple graphics.
