Description SVG is a text-based vector image format that describes graphics using XML markup rather than pixel grids. Because shapes are defined mathematically (paths, strokes, fills), SVGs scale cleanly to any size without losing sharpness. They integrate tightly with the web platform—browsers treat them like part of the DOM—so you can style them with CSS, animate them with CSS or JavaScript, and make them interactive with event handlers. SVG is ideal for logos, icons, charts, and any artwork that needs to be crisp on every screen density. HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) is a modern container format for individual images and image sequences. It typically uses the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, also known as H.265) codec for compression, allowing it to store images at a much smaller file size than JPEG while maintaining equal or better visual quality. HEIF supports advanced features like multiple images in a single file, image sequences, transparency, high dynamic range (HDR), depth maps, and rich metadata.
Typical usage
  • Responsive logos and icons that must look sharp on all devices
  • Data visualizations, charts, and diagrams rendered directly in the browser
  • Inline graphics that need CSS theming or dynamic states
  • Illustrations exported from design tools for web and UI work
  • Storing high-quality photos on smartphones while minimizing storage space
  • Capturing live photos or short bursts with minimal file size increase
  • Archiving images with embedded depth data for portrait mode editing
  • Delivering high-quality visuals in bandwidth-constrained environments
Typical use cases
  • Embedding inline icons that inherit text color via currentColor
  • Theming product illustrations via CSS variables without regenerating assets
  • Animating strokes (e.g., draw-on effects) and transforms for polished UI motion
  • Interactive charts where tooltips, hover states, and filters are DOM-driven
  • iOS and macOS devices use HEIC by default for camera images to save space while retaining quality
  • Cloud storage providers optimizing bandwidth by storing HEIF instead of JPEG
  • Professional photographers capturing HDR images in a compact file size
  • Social media platforms testing HEIF to reduce upload times without sacrificing quality
Widely supported by
  • All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
  • Design tools (Figma export, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Sketch)
  • Rendering and manipulation libraries (D3.js, Snap.svg, GreenSock/GSAP, React)
  • Apple iOS 11 and later
  • macOS High Sierra and later
  • Windows 10 (with HEIF Image Extensions)
  • Android 9 (Pie) and later (device-dependent)
  • Image viewers and editors like Photoshop, GIMP (with plugins), and Preview

Security notes Because SVG is executable (scripts, links, external references), always sanitize untrusted files before inlining or serving to prevent XSS and malicious resource loads. Consider removing script, foreignObject, and external hrefs in user uploads.
Performance notes Path-heavy or filter-heavy SVGs can be expensive to render and animate; prefer simpler paths, precompute curves, and avoid excessive filters for mobile devices. Consider rasterizing extremely complex artwork.

Animation support Yes — Animations via CSS (transitions/keyframes) and JavaScript; SMIL is implemented in most engines but considered legacy in some contexts. Yes — HEIF supports image sequences for animation, similar to animated GIFs or APNGs, but with far greater compression efficiency and quality.

Advantages
  • Infinitely scalable without blurriness; perfect for high-DPI displays.
  • Editable, diffable, and compressible text format that works well with version control.
  • First-class web citizen: style with CSS, animate with CSS/JS, and wire up interactions.
  • Accessible by default with proper <title>/<desc> and ARIA roles.
  • Much smaller file sizes than JPEG for equivalent quality, thanks to HEVC compression.
  • Supports features JPEG cannot, such as HDR, transparency, animations, and multiple images per file.
  • Enables storage of auxiliary data like depth maps for advanced editing features.
  • Suitable for both lossy and lossless image storage.
Disadvantages
  • Not suited to photographic content; raster formats (PNG/JPEG/WebP/AVIF) are better for photos.
  • Complex paths and heavy filter stacks can harm rendering performance, especially on mobile.
  • Security concerns if untrusted SVGs are inlined without sanitization.
  • Not as universally supported as JPEG or PNG, especially on older devices and browsers.
  • Requires more processing power to encode/decode due to HEVC compression.
  • Patent/licensing restrictions on HEVC can limit adoption in open-source projects.
  • Some software still lacks full support for advanced HEIF features.
Max size note SVG text compresses well with gzip ('.svgz'); however, extremely complex path data or embedded fonts/rasters can still produce large files. Optimize with SVGO or equivalent. While HEIF is efficient, very high-resolution or HDR images with multiple embedded sequences can still create large files; decoding them may be intensive for low-power devices.
File sniffing No fixed magic bytes; detect by XML root element (<svg …>) and MIME. For '.svgz', look for gzip header (1F 8B) and 'image/svg+xml' after decompression.
