What is an .SVG?
A Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) is an vector image which is constructed through mathematical expressions rather than a bitmap of RBG colors corresponding to each pixel. Because vector images are mathematically defined, they retain their quality no matter the resolution of the monitor on which they are displayed. This means an.SVG image that is displayed at a size of 2 inches will have lines that are just as crisp as an image that is displayed at 4 inches in size. This makes.SVG images ideal for things like text that will be displayed at various sizes. However, because each element of a.SVG image is represented as a mathematical expression, these images are often larger in size than corresponding raster images. </s>
