What is MIME type "image/vnd-svf"?

A MIME type is a string that tells browsers and other tools how to handle a particular kind of file.

image/vnd-svf is a media type for files that use the Simple Vector Format. This format stores images as vector data rather than fixed pixels. The image is defined using mathematical instructions to describe shapes, lines, and curves. As a result, images scale cleanly to any size without quality loss.

• Scalable graphics: The vector nature means designs remain crisp when zoomed or resized.
• Efficient storage: Vector data can be smaller and faster to process compared to high-resolution raster images.
• Interoperability: Declaring the MIME type helps applications to correctly identify and render the image content.

This MIME type is associated with files having the SVF extension. It is mainly used in contexts like technical drawing, graphic design, and specialized applications that benefit from the scalability of vector images.
