SVG stands for “Scalable Vector Graphic” and it is an open-source vector-based graphics file format that is supported by most modern illustration and drawing software. Unlike bitmap or raster-based graphics which are made up of pixels, vector-based graphics are made up of objects defined by mathematical instructions. Being a vector-based format, SVG images are resolution independent which means they can be scaled to an size without a loss in quality. SVG files can be opened and edited in vector-based Illustration software such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Xara Designer, or Inkscape (free). SVG files can also be opened and placed in many bitmap-based graphics editors, but to maintain vector attributes, they should be edited in a vector-based graphics editor. We distribute our vector-based graphics in SVG format to ensure compatibility with a variety of software.
