Understanding SVG and ARW Formats

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

Source 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

Target Format

Sony Raw Image

image/x-sony-arw

ARW (Alpha Raw) is Sony's proprietary raw image format used by Sony Alpha mirrorless and DSLR cameras. Based on the TIFF specification, it stores unprocessed 12-bit or 14-bit sensor data with complete metadata. ARW files can be either uncompressed or use Sony's lossy or lossless compressed raw encoding.

Advantages

  • Preserves full unprocessed sensor data for maximum post-processing latitude
  • Supports both compressed and uncompressed raw storage options
  • Well-supported by major photo editing applications including Lightroom and Capture One

Limitations

  • Proprietary format with no publicly available specification
  • Large file sizes, especially in uncompressed mode
  • Requires raw-capable software for viewing and editing

Common Uses

  • Professional photography with Sony Alpha series cameras
  • Raw photo editing and non-destructive development
  • High-quality archival of photographic captures
