SVG Compressed (.svgz)

An SVGZ file is a compressed version of a Scalable Vector Graphics (.SVG) file. It is compressed using gzip compression and contains graphics data in XML format. This includes the positioning of lines, text, curves, colors, and shapes that make up a two-dimensional graphic. SVGZ files also support layers, transparency, gradients, animations, and filters.

The SVGZ format was developed by Adobe to reduce the size of SVG files when transferring them online. SVGZ files are typically 50 to 80 percent smaller in size than uncompressed SVG files. They are commonly used by graphics professionals and web designers to share SVG graphics with others.

SVGZ files can be opened with various image-editing programs such as Adobe Illustrator (Windows and macOS), Corel PaintShop Pro (Windows), Inkscape (multiplatform), and SVG and SVGZ Viewer (Android).

Interlacing is a method of encoding a bitmap image such that a person who has partially received it sees a degraded copy of the entire image. When communicating over a slow communications link, this is often preferable to seeing a perfectly clear copy of one part of the image, as it helps the viewer decide more quickly whether to abort or continue the transmission.
