What Is SVG Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 1:17 am

SVG is a vector graphic image file format that supports both animation and interactivity. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.

SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files. This means that they can be searched, indexed, scripted, and compressed.

As XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor, but are more often created with drawing software. These drawings can be interactive and/or animated; the actions they perform can be programmed.

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – the first one with an online presence. It runs in the browser and has all the features you need to create complex graphics from scratch or to edit existing ones.

SVG images are widely supported by all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer from version 9 onwards. They can be created and edited with any text editor but are often created with drawing software.

PRO TIP: SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector image format that can be used in Figma. SVG files can be created in a variety of ways, including through vector editing software such as Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, or Sketch.

When using SVG images in Figma, there are a few things to keep in mind:

-SVG images can be scaled to any size without losing quality.
-SVG images can be exported as PNG, JPG, or PDF files.
-SVG images can be edited directly in Figma.

However, there are also some drawbacks to using SVG images:

-SVG images can be more difficult to create than other image formats.
-SVG images can be larger in file size than other image formats.

SVG images are widely supported by all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer from version 9 onwards.
