How to Convert SVG Using C#
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based image format for two-dimensional graphics. It is a vector graphics format intended primarily for the Web. The main excellence of SVG is its unmatched ability to be scaled to any size without any shred of quality degradation. All modern browsers support SVG, and it would seem that the Web should already switch to vector graphics. However, there are some restrictions on the use of SVG and sometimes you need to convert SVG to other formats.
