As XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor but are often created with drawing software.

This means that they can be searched, indexed, scripted, and compressed. SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files. PDF compatibility is achieved by embedding a complete copy of the PGF data within the saved PDF format. The AI file format was originally a native format called PGF. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.Īdobe Illustrator Artwork (AI) is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems to represent single-page vector-based drawings in EPS or PDF formats.


Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation.
