SVG and CSS were designed to work together: most SVG attributes can be overridden by CSS rules. This means an SVG export from a modern design tool may carry a substantial stylesheet, with CSS selec…
SVG isn't pure vector — its <image> tag lets you embed raster images alongside vector shapes. A logo with a photographic background, an icon with an embedded screenshot, an illustration with …
SVG filters are powerful: per-pixel image processing operations expressed declaratively. Drop shadows, blurs, color grading, embossing, displacement effects — all available without touching pixel d…
Text in SVG is one of the trickier conversion topics. The SVG XML references a font by name, but a name is not a font — actual glyph data lives in font files installed on the rendering machine. Whe…
Three SVG features that render fully vector in PDF output: linear gradients, radial gradients, and clipping paths. Unlike filters (which rasterize), these have direct PDF equivalents and stay scala…
SVG and PDF are surprisingly close cousins. Both describe vector graphics — shapes, paths, text, fills, strokes — rather than raster pixels. Translation between them is mostly a 1-to-1 mapping of s…
SVG looks like a graphics format but is technically a programming environment: scripts can execute, external resources can be fetched, XML entities can expand recursively, and various features over…
Beyond the basic shape and text primitives, SVG has a substantial library of advanced features. The conversion handles most of them, with the notable exception of foreignObject — which renders HTML…
SVG's sizing model has two layers: the physical size (how big the rendered drawing should be on a page or screen) and the coordinate system (the numerical space inside which shapes are drawn). They…
