What Is an SVG File?
SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, a web-friendly format based on paths, shapes, and XML markup.
SVG means Scalable Vector Graphics
An SVG file describes artwork with shapes, paths, fills, strokes, and metadata. Because it is vector-based, it can scale without pixelation.
When SVG is the right format
Use SVG for logos, icons, illustrations, diagrams, stickers, and web graphics where crisp scaling matters.
