.svg — Scalable Vector Graphics
Image image/svg+xml
What a .svg file is
An XML description of shapes rather than a grid of pixels, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size and usually weighs very little.
How to open it
Any browser, plus Illustrator, Inkscape and Figma. It is plain text — you can open it in a code editor.
Worth knowing
Because SVG can contain scripts, never render an uploaded SVG from an untrusted source without sanitising it.
Converting it
You can convert SVG in your browser without uploading it anywhere: SVG to PNG, SVG to JPG, SVG to WebP.
