What Is an SVG File?
A file with the SVG file extension is most likely a Scalable Vector Graphics file.
Files in this format use an XML-based text format to describe how the image should appear.
This means you could open online SVG files without having to download them first.
Open those SVG files through the web web client’sOpenoption (theCtrl+Okeyboard shortcut).
Some other Adobe programs that support SVG files includePhotoshop, Photoshop Elements, and InDesign programs.
Adobe Animate works with SVG files, too.
Some non-Adobe programs that can open an SVG file includeMicrosoft Visio,CorelDRAW, andABViewer.
To edit one in your online window (no download necessary),Photopeais an excellent choice.
No need to have an expensive program installed or to download unfamiliar software.
The entire contents of an SVG file is text.
If you open one in a text editor, you see only text.
SVG viewers can read the text and understand how it should be displayed.
