When should you use SVG?
SVG can be useful in specialised workflows. Confirm recipient and browser support before choosing it for a public web asset.
Compatibility
Supported by modern browsers; untrusted SVG needs sanitization before inline use.
Convert SVG images locally
FreeImageKit has a local decode path for SVG. Exports remove source metadata, and still-image routes do not preserve animation or extra pages.
