FAQ

This FAQ applies to product manuals, official website pages, course quizzes, and live Q&A.

1. What is SVG?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. SVG images are defined in XML text files, which means they can be searched, indexed, scripted, and compressed. As vector images, SVG graphics can scale to any size without losing quality.

2. What are the advantages of SVG?

SVG offers several key advantages:

Scalability - Vector graphics scale perfectly to any size
Small file size - Often smaller than equivalent bitmap images
Style control - Can be styled with CSS
Accessibility - Text content is accessible to screen readers
Interactivity - Supports JavaScript event handling
Animation - Built-in support for SMIL animations

3. What is SVG Converter?

SVG Converter is a web tool designed to easily preview and convert SVG code to various image formats. Simply paste your SVG code into the online editor to instantly preview the graphics and convert to PNG, JPG, or WebP formats. No installation or environment setup required.

4. Which export formats does SVG Converter support?

SVG Converter can export SVG graphics as multiple image formats:

PNG – for high-quality static images with transparency support
JPG – when you need smaller file sizes for photographs
WebP – a modern, efficient format supported by most browsers

These formats suit documents, web pages, slide decks, and other scenarios where bitmap images are required.

5. How do I share SVG graphics in SVG Converter?

SVG Converter supports sharing via URL. After pasting your SVG code, the app generates a unique link so others can view the graphic directly in their browsers. It's convenient for collaboration and remote work—no downloads or attachments needed.

6. How do I use SVG on a webpage?

There are several ways to use SVG on webpages:

<!-- Inline SVG -->
<svg width="100" height="100">
  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="blue"/>
</svg>

<!-- As image source -->
<img src="image.svg" alt="Description">

<!-- As CSS background -->
<div style="background-image: url('image.svg');"></div>

7. Is SVG syntax hard to learn?

SVG syntax is based on XML, which is relatively straightforward to learn. Basic shapes like circles, rectangles, and paths are easy to understand. For more complex graphics, many design tools like Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, and Figma can export SVG code automatically.

8. What are typical use cases for SVG?

Icons and logos that need to scale across devices
Data visualizations and charts
Interactive maps and diagrams
Animations and interactive graphics
Responsive web design elements
Print materials that require high resolution

9. What are the advantages of using SVG Converter?
