A file with .svgz extension is a compressed Scalable Vector Graphics (.SVG) file. Graphics designers create SVGZ files using Adobe Illustrator and other tools. SVGZ files are smaller than SVG files which helps transfer graphics files online.
SVGZ files contain data in XML format. They support transparency, gradients, animations and filters. SVGZ files open in Adobe Illustrator 2021 and other programs.
Adobe developed the SVGZ format to reduce SVG file size for easier online transfer. SVGZ files are 50 to 80 percent smaller than uncompressed SVG files. Graphics professionals use SVGZ files to share SVG graphics with other professionals. Also, web designers use SVGZ files to share SVG graphics supported by web browsers.
You can open an SVGZ file in various image editing programs. These include Adobe Illustrator, Corel PaintShop Pro, Inkscape and SVGZ Viewer. To open, double-click the SVGZ file icon. If your operating system has the right application, the file will open.
