SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)

.svg · image/svg+xml · 2001 · W3C

SVG is not a pixel format at all: it describes shapes, paths and text as XML, so it scales to any size without quality loss. Logos and icons should stay SVG on the web. But many tools — office suites, e-commerce platforms, image editors — want pixels. EditItAll rasterizes SVGs in your browser at 1× or 2× their intrinsic size (or your chosen dimensions) and exports crisp PNG, JPEG or WebP.
