DescriptionThe SVGZ format, short for Scalable Vector Graphics Zipped, is a compressed version of the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format. SVGZ files contain vector graphics data described using XML-based markup language, representing scalable and resolution-independent images. By compressing the SVG data using gzip compression, SVGZ files offer smaller file sizes compared to regular SVG files, making them more suitable for web distribution and efficient storage. SVGZ files can be easily decompressed using standard compression tools and then rendered by compatible web browsers, graphic design software, or other applications that support SVG rendering. This format is commonly used for creating interactive and visually rich graphics, icons, illustrations, and animations for websites and digital media.
Technical detailsSVG is an XML-based vector graphics format used to describe two-dimensional vector graphics. It supports a wide range of shapes, paths, text, colors, gradients, and effects, making it suitable for creating scalable and interactive graphics for the web.
