What it is
SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. It is an XML-based file format that describes graphics using paths, shapes, and text instead of pixels.
Why it matters
SVG assets stay sharp at any size, so they are ideal for responsive websites, icons, and logos.
Common use cases
- Website icons and UI elements
- Brand logos
- Illustrations that need clean scaling
Quick comparison
Compared with PNG, SVG is resolution independent and often lighter for simple graphics.
