A file with an extension of SVG is a Scalable Vector Graphics file. Files of this format use an XML text format to demonstrate how the image will appear in actual. As the text will describe the graphic, the SVG is scaled to several sizes without loss of quality. In simple words, this format is independent from resolution. This is the reason why site and print graphics are created in SVG form, so you can easily resize them to suit different designs as and when needed.
When you compress a SVG file, the file has an extension of .SVGZ and is reduced by 50 to 80 percent in size.
