Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based image format.
SVG images have higher resolution than png and gif images. Therefore, have high image quality.
SVG is XML-based, therefore, you can extract and translate the text from an SVG image.
Inkscape is an open-source SVG tool similar to Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. Inkscape is available to download and use at no cost and produces clean SVG files.
Use Inkscape as the image tool to create and edit SVG images.
Using Inkscape, you can create images and save them as .svg. When you produce a PDF output, the SVG image will be included. When you produce an HTML output, the SVG image will be automatically converted to a png image if the browser does not support SVG.
For more information about features such as layers and groups, see the resources available from the Help menu in Inkscape, such as a Tutorial, User Guide, and FAQ
Note:
When you preview topics in Editor or Publication Manager, if the SVG images does not display or displays a small box with a red x instead, ensure that the image is correct in the output. Otherwise, fix the issue.
