20 Great Websites That Use The Power of SVG

Thursday, June 2, 2016

SVG (or Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based file format which contains two-dimension vectors and allows developers to create amazing graphics and graphical applications that are dynamic and animated.

SVG is a powerful image format that can be manipulated with code, either in a text editor or with CSS / JS and it is used more and more in web design.

One of the biggest pluses SVG has is that it can look sharp on all screen resolutions. It can contain very small file sizes and can be easily edited and modified. SVG images offer so much more freedom when it comes to the size of the images used, as well as the way they interact with your final design.

Now, that we know all this, let us take a moment to focus on some of the most inspirational and exciting websites that use the power of SVG. Enjoy!
