SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a format designed for resolution-independent, XML-based vector images. Unlike PNG or JPEG, SVGs don't lose quality when resized and can be edited directly in code.
Key Benefits of SVGs:
- Scales Without Blur: SVGs maintain crispness at any size.
- Lightweight for the Web: They generally have smaller file sizes compared to raster images.
- Supports Interactivity & Animation: SVGs can be manipulated with CSS and JavaScript.
- Great for Diagrams & Illustrations: Ideal for detailed academic and technical diagrams.
If you're working with academic papers, UI design, or any content involving detailed lines or shapes, SVGs are the gold standard.
