.svg — Scalable Vector Graphics
W3C · 2001
¿Qué es un archivo .svg?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format for the web. Unlike raster formats (JPEG, PNG), SVGs define images using mathematical shapes and paths, meaning they can be scaled to any size without losing quality. This makes SVG perfect for logos, icons, illustrations, and interactive graphics. SVGs can also be styled with CSS and animated with JavaScript, making them incredibly versatile for modern web design.
