SVG to Design Spac
SVG or Scalable Vector Graphic is a quirky type of image format. They use 'vector' data rather than depending on unique pixels to make up the images we see. A vector is an element that has both magnitude and direction. The collection of vectors helps us draw any type of graphics using it to print a signboard, T-shirt, or sandwich board. SVG graphic format is based on extensible Markup Language (XML), which uses tags like HTML. This means all the information regarding the image's lines, shape, colour, and text are saved in readable text files, making the file format easily personalized.

Without losing the image's initial quality, one can easily modify the image in any manner. SVG can operate efficiently with languages like DOM, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS; hence, it is also known as the W3C standard, making it suitable for the global industry.

Reasons for Using SVG:
  • It is animatedly
  • They are small file sizes
  • Quite interactive
  • It is style-able
  • It is responsible as well as resolution-independent
