Advantages of Working With Butterfly SVG Files

A common question asked by novice web designers and sketchers is, “What is SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format and how to use it in design”? It is a vector graphics format that has been around for quite some time now. Though still new to the designing world, there are several advantages of SVG format over other popular graphic formats like PICT, EPS or GIF. While there are others who prefer to create work in GIF or PICT format, most designers and sketchers prefer to work in SVG format because of the following reasons:

Compatibility with Adobe Photoshop. Even though Adobe Photoshop is the most widely used computer application worldwide, many people do not know that the software’s drawing and painting tools are also capable of being used with SVG format. You can easily convert your photographs and illustrations (even those that are in PICT format or JPEG) into SVG files and use them with your favorite photo editing software. SVG files can be easily used to share photos via e-mail, IM or instant message. You can even have your photographs converted to SVG files and save them on your desktop for future use.

Portability. It is very easy to transfer your small business commercial art or sketches to any kind of device. You can even have your butterfly SVG files converted into PDF and use them as printing material for your office printer.
