Scalable Vector Graphics.

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics.
SVG defines vector-based graphics in XML format.

Why use SVG at all?

  • Small file sizes that compress well
  • Scales to any size without losing clarity (except very tiny)
  • Looks great on retina displays
  • Design control like interactivity and filters
