SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
The web's standard for crisp, infinite-resolution graphics built with code.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is fundamentally different from other web image formats. Instead of storing a grid of pixels (raster), SVG stores mathematical instructions for drawing lines, curves, and shapes. This means an SVG image looks perfectly sharp whether it's displayed on a tiny smartwatch or a giant billboard. Developed by the W3C, SVG is an XML-based format, meaning the file itself is human-readable text code. This allows SVGs to be manipulated via CSS and JavaScript, making them interactive and dynamic. You can change the color of an icon on hover, animate a graph with data, or theme an entire illustration with a single line of CSS. Since its standardization in 1999 and widespread adoption in modern browsers, SVG has become the default choice for icons, logos, and simple illustrations on the web, offering smaller file sizes and better flexibility than their raster counterparts.
SVG is an application of XML (Extensible Markup Language). An SVG file contains elements like `<circle>`, `<rect>`, `<path>`, and `<text>` that describe the visual content. Because it is text-based, it compresses extremely well with GZIP or Brotli (often served as .svgz). The format supports gradients, patterns, clipping paths, and masks. It can embed raster images (like JPEGs) inside the vector file, though this negates the scalability benefits for that portion. SVG supports interactivity through event handlers (onclick, onhover) and animation via SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) or CSS/JavaScript. Security is a unique consideration for SVG: because it can contain scripts, SVGs from untrusted sources can pose XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) risks and must be sanitized before use.
In the late 1990s, the web needed a vector graphics format. Several companies submitted proposals to the W3C, including Adobe's PGML and Microsoft/Macromedia's VML. The W3C decided to develop a new standard that combined the best features of these proposals, resulting in SVG. SVG 1.0 became a W3C Recommendation in September 2001. However, browser support was initially poor, requiring plugins like Adobe SVG Viewer. Native support began to appear around 2005-2006 (Firefox 1.5, Opera 9) but didn't become universal until Internet Explorer 9 added support in 2011. The format has evolved with SVG 1.1 (2003) and the ongoing development of SVG 2, which aims to align closer with HTML5 and CSS3 features.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
The venerable standard for print, scanning, and archival.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is one of the oldest and most robust image formats still in use. Created in 1986 by Aldus (later acquired by Adobe), it was designed to be a universal standard for desktop publishing and scanning. TIFF is a container format, meaning it can hold almost any kind of image data—compressed or uncompressed, RGB or CMYK, 8-bit or 32-bit. This flexibility makes it the go-to choice for the printing industry, professional photographers, and archivists who need a format that preserves maximum quality and metadata without the compatibility headaches of proprietary RAW files.
A TIFF file is built around 'tags' that describe the image data. This allows it to support a vast array of features, including multiple pages (used for faxes and document scans), multiple layers (like a PSD file), and various color spaces like Lab and CMYK that are essential for printing. TIFF supports multiple compression schemes. The most common are LZW (lossless) and ZIP (lossless), but it can also hold JPEG (lossy) data. Uncompressed TIFFs are standard for archival because they are future-proof and require no decoding algorithm that might become obsolete.
TIFF was the first format to bring high-resolution, grayscale, and later color images to the desktop publishing revolution of the late 80s. While JPEG took over the web and consumer photography, TIFF remained the king of the pre-press and scanning world. It hasn't changed much since Revision 6.0 in 1992, which is a testament to its robust design.
