File extension svg is mainly used for a vector XML based graphic format.
SVG is a vector format (for both static and animated graphics) based on the XML markup language, and was developed as an open standard by the World Wide Wide Consortium.
Some of the key features of the SVG format are:
Being based on XML (which is essentially text-based), SVG images are susceptible to compression. The svgz option is the standard way to do this in which the SVG file is saved using gzip compression as a svgz file.
There are several variants of SVG in use (SVG 1.0, SVG 1.1 and SVG Tiny 1.2 at the time of writing). In particular, the SVG Tiny (SVGT) and SVG Basic (SVGB) are subsets of the full SVG standard mainly intended for use on device with limited capabilities such as mobile phones or PDAs. Additionally, it should be noted that browser support for SVG is somewhat patchy - at present, in a lot of browsers, including Internet Explorer, a third-party plug-in (which many users will not have) is required to display SVG images.
MIME types used for SVG graphic files:
image/svg-xml
image/svg+xml
image/vnd.adobe.svg+xml
The SVG XML based vector graphics format is viewable in various picture image viewers. You can view svg file simply by opening it in your web browser.
SVG files can be exported to another graphic format using various image converters and graphic editors.
