SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. It is a file format used for vector graphics that can be displayed on the web or other digital media. Unlike raster graphics, which are made up of pixels and can lose quality when resized or zoomed in, SVG images are made up of scalable vector shapes that retain their sharpness and clarity at any size. SVG files are typically created using graphic design software such as Adobe Illustrator, and can be edited and manipulated using code or specialised editing tools. SVG graphics are widely used in web design, app development, and other digital media projects because of their flexibility, lightweight file size, and support for interactivity and animation.

For other image formats, see PNG or JPEG.
