Understanding RAW and SVG Formats

Learn about the source and target file formats to understand what happens during conversion.

Source Format

Raw Image Data

application/octet-stream

RAW is a general term for unprocessed image data files captured directly from a camera's image sensor, though the .raw extension itself is sometimes used as a generic raw container. Different camera manufacturers use various proprietary raw formats, but files labeled .raw contain minimally processed sensor data preserving maximum detail and dynamic range. These files require specialized software to develop into viewable images.

Advantages

  • Contains the maximum possible image data from the camera sensor
  • Provides full control over white balance, exposure, and color in post-processing
  • Much higher dynamic range than processed JPEG output

Limitations

  • Generic .raw extension can cause compatibility issues with software detection
  • Very large file sizes compared to processed image formats
  • Cannot be displayed directly without raw processing software

Common Uses

  • Generic raw image capture from various camera systems
  • Raw image data from scientific and industrial imaging sensors
  • Intermediate data storage in image processing workflows

Target Format

SVG Vector

image/svg+xml

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector graphics format standardized by the W3C for describing two-dimensional graphics. It defines images using mathematical paths, shapes, text, and transformations that render perfectly at any resolution. SVG supports CSS styling, JavaScript interactivity, animation (SMIL), gradients, filters, and clipping paths.

Advantages

  • Infinitely scalable with no quality loss at any resolution or zoom level
  • Can be styled with CSS and made interactive with JavaScript
  • Native support in all modern web browsers without plugins

Limitations

  • Performance degrades with very complex illustrations containing thousands of paths
  • Not suitable for representing photographic or highly detailed raster imagery
  • Security concerns when rendering untrusted SVG files with embedded scripts

Common Uses

  • Web graphics, logos, and icons that must scale to any size
  • Data visualizations, charts, and interactive infographics
  • Responsive design assets that work across all screen resolutions
