What image/svg+xml is

image/svg+xml is a vector image described in XML, so it scales to any size without blurring. Because it's XML that can contain script, serve untrusted SVGs carefully.

How it's used

You'll see this as a Content-Type value on requests and responses — for example Content-Type: image/svg+xml. It's the type associated with the .svg file extension. Image types tell the browser how to decode and render a picture.
