What is the SVG format?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) uses mathematical instructions to create images rather than pixel dots, making them infinitely scalable and perfect for responsive interfaces and high-DPI displays.

SVG’s XML-compatible format allows embedding in HTML, but this creates security concerns since malicious code can be injected. WordPress doesn’t natively support SVG uploads for this reason.

React requires specific adaptations to SVG markup before use. While SVG works in HTML contexts, JavaScript frameworks need attribute modifications and proper component structure for compatibility.
