The purpose of this article is to help you, as a marketer, understand what an SVG file is.<\/span>And not only this but also understand why you need to use it in your design if you are doing your own banner ads and social media visuals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But this article is from my perspective. And I\u2019m a marketer and a good friend of the product designer of Creatopy, Gery<\/a>. When we had the talk about this release, he told me every single benefit of an SVG file from a design perspective.<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be better if Gery wrote this article? Well, if you knew him, you\u2019d know what a busy person he is. And also he knows his magic with visuals, I know my magic with words, so I will be his voice in this article.<\/p>\n

Enough with the introduction. Let\u2019s see what\u2019s all the fuss with this SVG file, what marketers must know about it, and you\u2019ll have to read the whole article to get to the best part.<\/p>\n

First of all, let\u2019s start with the definition:<\/p>\n

What is SVG?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The SVG file or so-called Scalable Vector Graphics is a simple XML-based vector image format for only 2-dimensional graphics that can support interactivity and animation.<\/p>\n

These kinds of files are defined in XML text files, which means that they can be compressed (this is very important for everyone designing banner ads and uploads them on Google Ads), scripted, indexed, and searched.<\/p>\n

Now that we know the simple definition of the SVG files, let\u2019s look at these benefits.<\/p>\n

So, even if you are a marketer, small business owner, or designer, you really must understand what are the real benefits of using this type of graphics and why it is important for your daily work.<\/p>\n

1. SVG = WEB & HTML5 Standard format<\/b><\/h2>\n

SVGs are everywhere nowadays and they are the industry\u2019s standard in web design and online applications. Why? The answer is easy – \u00a0because of its main properties! Small size, maximum quality, vector editing capabilities, and the fact that it\u2019s infinitely resizable!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find and download free SVGs all over the web, just give it a try.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Uploading your logo as SVG<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Uploading<\/a><\/p>\n

Use an SVG file for your logo and keep your logo sharp and clear on any size. Using compatible SVG files will help you extract colors from your logo and change them if you want or make single-color versions of your company logo.<\/p>\n

3. Retina and mobile ready<\/b><\/h2>\n

No matter how big or small your SVG files are or the pixel density of your screen is, your graphics will always be sharp and pixel perfect. The one size fits all is something that many marketers are struggling with. <\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not that much about the size, but about the format of the content. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. SVGs help to reduce the final size of the HTML5 package<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"SVG<\/p>\n

One of the pet-peeves most advertisers and designers have is the size of their visuals after they designed them and saved them. This is why we recommend you start using SVG files in your design. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because using SVG images and not JPG or PNG images will help you reduce the file size by up to 200% while maintaining the maximum quality on any display or any dimensions for your banner.<\/p>\n

5. Upload Icons, Illustrations, Clipart, or Artworks<\/b><\/h2>\n

No matter if you need an icon, you want to upload your logo, add new clipart, use an illustration, or simply print your artwork. SVG is the new go-to format for your uploads.<\/p>\n

Why? Because as much as you resize them, they won\u2019t change their quality.<\/p>\n

SVG files can help you get the most out of your graphics. Being infinitely scalable means that your SVG images won\u2019t get pixelated.<\/p>\n

SVG maintain their aspect ratio and the graphics remain sharp and clear.<\/p>\n

6. Recolor and redesign your graphics<\/b><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s say that you have a simple logo with only one color (white) and you want to create a banner ad on which you want to upload your logo. <\/span><\/p>\n

But because the banner ad is entirely designed with white colors, you need to change the logo color. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you use an SVG file, it will be much easier for you to change colors in any app. <\/span><\/p>\n
