What is SVG?

An example of an SVG image — note that at whatever scale you view the image, its curves always appear smooth, never "jagged"

Scalable vector graphics (SVG) is an XML specification and file format for describing two-dimensional vector graphics (as opposed to a "bitmap" or raster graphic) in both static and animated forms. It is stored in either plain text or compressed (binary) format which is much more size efficient than most other image formats such as JPEGs or GIFs. SVGs also allow embedding of raster graphics and editable text.
