SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a file format for images that are described by code rather than bitmap. SVG graphics have a number of key benefits including: much smaller file size, the ability to animate or control the image through code and infinite scalability (you can find out more about SVG here). This format isn’t suitable for all images, but where it is suitable, it’s a great option. By default, WordPress does not allow SVG files to be uploaded to the Media Library – as they are code they can be insecure.
Safe SVG is the best way to Allow SVG Uploads in WordPress!
