What are SVGZ files and how to open them

Are you having problems opening a SVGZ file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your SVGZ files.

What is a SVGZ file?

A .SVGZ file is a Compressed Scalable Vector Graphics file.

The compressed scalable vector graphics file format is an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) vector image. The "z" in the extension name means "zipped," and it indicates that the file is compressed.

SVG-based images are coded and defined in XML text files. They can be searched, indexed, scripted, and compressed.

Although an SVG image can be created and edited with any text editor, it is commonly made using various drawing applications. A benefit of using vector images is that the image can be scaled up or down in size without losing quality.

Web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari have supported, at least to some degree, rendering support for SVG and SVGZ image files.

This image format is commonly used for two-dimensional graphics and supports animations as well.

The SVG is designed as an open standard and was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1999.
