Format description
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files contain images, described with two-dimensional vectors. The vector instructions are written in a text format similar to XML. SVG files are widely used on the web, because they are efficient for icons and logos: there is no pixelation and the file sizes are very small. Vector image formats like SVG work on an entirely different principle from raster images, such as PNG and JPEG, which generally store information for each pixel separately.Common questions about SVG conversions

How long does it take to convert SVG?
