SVG Graphics-How it improves your web designs?

Last Updated March 20, 2017 By Subhash D Leave a Comment

Gadgets that we are purchasing these days are far more sophisticated than those had been used about a decade back. We can view websites on high resolution HD displays. Web designers have to match up these high-end devices especially in using the graphics to justify the quality of these screens. Vector graphics is the best option for designing logos to create state-of- the-art web websites. The most renowned format is PNG format based on raster technology. It is been fast replaced by Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files based on vector graphics considering the benefits and flexibility.

Here are some features of these files to why these graphics are becoming valuable on-page assets.

Features of SVG Graphics

Flexible and Scalable

SVG files are highly scalable and editable being vector graphics in nature. They are flexible, efficient, and responsive to meet the needs of different screen sizes and resolutions. The images or graphics in this format resize depending upon the screen size and resolution of target gadget. What your viewers get are deformation-free clear and balanced images.

Easy to Manipulate

Those who know graphics understand that the vectors are far better way of defining images since they are defined as paths. They are highly easy to manipulate by focusing on each path independently. You can never do this with raster images because that would mean to manipulate one complete element. A designer can easily customize the Scalable Vector Graphics files by using pure JavaScript codes or functions offered in JS libraries.  A few well known JS libraries are Raphael.js, D3.js , Bonsai.js, and  Snap.svg,

Browser compatibility

SVG is compatible with all the latest browsers. So, if you are planning to replace your PNG graphics with Scalable Graphics Vector you hardly need to think about older browser compatibility. Just get the needed Java code libraries and you are sorted.

Open Source Code Snippets

Most of the developers appreciate use of code snippets to implement repetitive process for the re usability and saving their efforts. You can implement it with the help of widely available open source code snippets developed from vectors.

Less loading time

SVG images and animations can be loaded in significantly lesser time than taken by other image and animation formats. You can include the SVG tag directly rooted to HTML so that the browser inhibits from sending request to support SVG graphics.

Wrapping up…


Scalable Vector Graphics offer you an ideal file type for icons and vector web images. They have low sizes, easily manipulated, flexible to match the display being used and widely supported by browsers.  Using SVG images and animations adds value to your content.
