Is Photoshop Good for SVG?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 9:42 pm

SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics, is a file format that allows for easy, resolution-independent vector graphics. This means that an SVG file can be scaled to any size without losing quality.

Photoshop is a popular program for creating and editing raster images, but it also has some support for working with vector graphics. In this article, we’ll take a look at how to use Photoshop to create and edit SVG files.

Creating an SVG file in Photoshop is pretty straightforward. First, create your vector graphic in Photoshop.

Then, go to File > Save As.. and select the SVG file format from the drop-down menu. When you click Save, a dialog box will appear where you can specify some additional options for your SVG file.

PRO TIP: While Photoshop is a great tool for editing photos and images, it is not ideal for editing or creating SVG files. SVG files are best edited in a vector editing program such as Adobe Illustrator.

The most important option here is the CSS Properties option. This option determines how your CSS styles will be applied to the elements in your SVG file.

If you want your CSS styles to be inline with the element, select the Inline option. If you want your CSS styles to be applied as an external style sheet, select the External option.

Once you’ve saved your SVG file, you can open it in any browser or text editor and view the code. As you can see, the code for an SVG file is very clean and simple. And because all of the vector information is stored in the file, scaling an SVG image is very easy.

So is Photoshop good for creating SVG files? Yes! Photoshop is a great program for creating high-quality vector graphics that can be easily scaled and edited.
