SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. It is a unique type of image format for vector-based graphics written in Extensible Markup Language (XML).

In this tutorial, I will explain why you’d want to use SVG images and how you can use them in CSS and HTML.

Why should you use SVG images?

There are a number of reasons to use SVG images, some of which are:

• SVG images do not lose their quality when zoomed or resized.
• They can be created and edited with an IDE or text editor.
• They are accessible and animatable.
• They have a small file size and are highly scalable.
• And they can be searched, indexed, scripted, and compressed.

Now let’s see how you can actually work with SVG images.
