Notes
Earlier it was impossible to upload the images created by graphic softwares to internet.
In order to upload to internet, the images must be in .jpg or.gif formats. And they were in
big size and they didn’t have enough clarity.
Images in .svg formats do not have such problems. svg is the short form of Scalable
Vector Graphics
svg format was prepared by World Wide Web Consortium
Images created in Inkscape can be changed to svg format very easily.
4. What are the benefits of svg format
svg format is used for preparing 2 Dimensional images. This format is suitable for vector
images prepared in any software. We can arrange its size without losing clarity of the
image.
