SVG File Type

In this article, we will look at the SVG file extension, what it is and how to open a .SVG file. A scalable vector graphics file (.svg) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. The SVG format was created in 1999 by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). The specification defines syntax and semantic rules that represent vector images in XML text.

ICON File Type

An Icon file is an extension created by the Windows operating system to create shortcuts of various types. These Icons can be used as icons of any website, folder, application or anything else. ICON files are mostly used on Microsoft Windows operating systems. They are named with a .icn extension and not .icon extension because of the limitations on the size of the icon for that specific platform. As ICON files are just shortcuts, they cannot contain any images or other objects that would only take up space in a regular shortcut file.
