SVG, which stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, is a widely-used format for creating and displaying vector graphics on the web. Unlike raster images such as JPEG or PNG, SVG uses XML to define the shapes, lines, and colors of an image. This allows SVGs to be resized and scaled without losing image quality. One of the key benefits of using SVG is its scalability. Since SVG images are made up of mathematical equations rather than pixels, they can be resized to any dimension without any loss in detail or sharpness. This makes SVG well-suited for responsive web design, where images need to adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions.
This makes SVG well-suited for responsive web design, where images need to adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions. In addition to scalability, SVG also supports interactivity and animation. Elements within an SVG image can be linked to events, such as mouse clicks or hovers, allowing for interactive user experiences.
