"SVG" stands for "Scalable Vector Graphics" and refers to a file format for vector graphics. In contrast to raster graphics such as JPEGs or PNGs, which consist of a fixed number of pixels and lose quality when scaled, SVG graphics can be enlarged or reduced in size without loss of quality. This makes them ideal for use in graphic design and web design, as they maintain high quality on different devices and screen sizes.
Graphic designers can create SVG graphics in various programmes, such as Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape. These graphics can then be integrated into websites to ensure high quality and scalability. SVG graphics are also well suited for animated graphics and can be made interactive with CSS and JavaScript.
Web designers can integrate SVG graphics into their designs to provide an improved user experience and higher visual quality. They can be used for various purposes, such as logos, icons, infographics and illustrations. As SVG graphics have smaller file sizes than raster graphics, they can also help to reduce web page load times and therefore improve website performance.
