SVG What is SVG File Format

SVG files are Scalable Vector Graphics Files that use XML based text format for describing the appearance of an image. The word Scalable refers to the fact that SVG can be scaled to different sizes without losing any quality. A text-based description of such files makes them independent of resolution. It is one of the most used formats for website building and print graphics to achieve scalability. SVG files can be viewed/opened in almost all modern browsers including Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.

GIF What is GIF File Format

A GIF or Graphical Interchange Format is a type of highly compressed image. Owned by Unisys, GIF uses the LZW compression algorithm that does not degrade the image quality. For each image GIF typically allow up to 8 bits per pixel and up to 256 colours are allowed across the image in contrast to a JPEG image, which can display up to 16 million colours and fairly touches the limits of the human eye. Back when the internet emerged, GIFs remained the best choice because they required low bandwidth and were compatible with graphics that consume solid areas of colour.

Other Supported SVG Conversions

You can also convert SVG to many other file formats:

SVG TO JPEG (JPEG Image)
SVG TO PDF (Portable Document Format)
SVG TO PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
SVG TO BMP (Bitmap Image)
SVG TO GIF (Graphical Interchange Format)
SVG TO TIFF (Tagged Image Format)
