About AI and SVG
application/vnd.adobe.illustrator
AI is a proprietary vector graphics file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing single-page vector-based drawings in either the EPS or PDF formats. It is the standard format for professional vector design and illustration.
image/svg+xml
SVG is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. Unlike raster images, SVG scales to any size without losing quality, making it ideal for logos and web icons.
Conversion Notes
Converting a vector AI to raster SVG renders all paths, gradients, and text at a fixed resolution. The output is a pixel grid — infinitely scalable vector properties are lost. Choose the highest resolution suitable for your intended output size, as upscaling a raster image later introduces blurring.
