SVG files are XML-based vector formats used in various applications, from web design to graphic editing.
a. Opening SVG Files
- Design/Editing:
- Open SVG files in Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape (free), or other vector editing software.
- Use the same tools as AI files to edit.
- Web Development:
- Open the file in a text editor (e.g., Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code) to view or manually edit the SVG code.
b. Editing SVG Designs
- If editing in Illustrator or Inkscape, you can modify colors, remove elements, or add objects.
- For web usage, adjust SVG properties like color or size directly in the XML code.
c. Saving and Using
- After editing, save the file with a new name to keep the original intact.
- Use SVG files directly on websites, apps, or other media as they are lightweight and scalable without losing quality.
