Why SVG Is Different From Other Image Formats
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector format — instead of storing pixels, it stores mathematical descriptions of shapes, paths, and curves. This means SVG files scale to any size without losing quality — from a 16px favicon to a 10-meter billboard print, the same SVG file is always perfectly sharp. SVG is the standard format for logos, icons, illustrations, and web graphics.
Common SVG Use Cases
- Logo review — check a logo delivered by a designer before using it
- Icon inspection — preview an icon set or inspect the source structure
- Web graphic verification — confirm the SVG renders correctly before embedding in a webpage
- Animation preview — SVG animations (SMIL, CSS) render live in the viewer
- Source debugging — inspect the XML structure to find errors or optimize paths
