There are a plethora of formats available for displaying images. Be it JPEG or PNG, image rendering files rely on pixel information to create complex images, but an issue with using pixels to display images is that it cannot be scaled due to the use of pixels as fundamental units. When a PNG or JPEG file is scaled, the pixels expand or compress that deteriorates image quality.

There is one image rendering format that does not use pixels as fundamental units to create images — SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) uses vectors to create images. These vectors are coordinates for the shapes that form the whole picture. SVG images are created by layering a variety of shapes together, and due to this reason, it is possible to resize an SVG to any aspect ratio without decreasing quality.

All these properties make SVG ideal for printing banners, as the format is also gaining popularity in the web development domain due to its flexible nature. In this article, we will be talking about the attributes that make SVG different than other formats out there.

Advantages of SVG

SVG format uses plain text to store images. It allows users to manipulate pictures using CSS HTML5 and Javascript.
It makes animations possible. Each shape in the layered image can be treated as an object and moving these objects can create animations.
It has a smaller size compared to PNG and JPEG.
SVG allows you to bloat up your pictures in any way without losing out on quality.
If you use laser printing on wood, then you need to use SVG images.

These images are also SEO friendly as web crawlers can read them.
