How to Convert SVG to XML
Convert SVG into XML for structured editing.
Upload your SVG file
Click Upload and select your SVG file from your device.
Confirm XML as output
The XML format is auto-selected for this page—confirm it (or choose if needed). XML makes the drawing machine-readable.

💡 Example: Export SVG graphics as XML for software parsing.
| File extension | .svg |
|---|---|
| File category | Vector Image File |
| Stands for | Scalable Vector Graphics |
| Developer | World Wide Web Consortium |
| Overview | This extension is based on an extensible Markup Language (XML) and images stored in this format are two dimensional as well as vector graphics. It is an open standard format but it supports both interactivity and animation. These files can be searched, indexed, scripted and compressed because their behaviour is specified by XML text files. Editing can be done using a text editor or any drawing software. All popular web browsers provide rendering support to SVG. The major difference between the bitmap image or raster image and vector image is that the former one is made up of a fixed set of pixels whereas the latter one consists of a fixed set of shapes. Scaling in raster reveals the pixels in it and in vector it tells about the shapes. |
| Technical description | It follows lossless data compression as it contains numerous repeated fragments of text. SVGZ image is a compressed form of SVG, when it is compressed using GZIP algorithm. In 2011 there was mobile version 1.1, which minimized the computational and display capacities. As these files use text to describe the graphics that is why it is very easy to resize them to different sizes(Zooming and Diminishing) without loss of quality. Besides this, they have the capability to store rich graphics and also offers compatibility to CSS(Cascading style sheets) for styling which in return allows a higher level of presentation editing. In addition to this, JavaScript is used for scripting. Lastly, it has three types of graphic objects – vector graphic shapes (paths and outlines), bitmap images and text. |

| File extension | .xml |
|---|---|
| File category | Document file |
| Stands for | Extensible Markup Language |
| Developer | World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) |
| Overview | An XML file is a data file that is used to store,send and recreate the arbitrary data.It outlines a set of guidelines for document encoding in such a way that it can be read by both machines and humans.That is is the main reason these files are processed easily. XML files contain dataset that is meant to be used for structuring the data on a website, web application, or computer programme.. |
| Technical description | XML follows almost the same syntax as HTML as it has one root element that is the parent of all other elements. It comprises metadata and tags, which are used to structure the data.IETF RFC 7303 (successor of RFC 3023) lays forth guidelines for creating media types that may be used in XML messages. The three media types defined are Application/xml, application/xml-external-parsed-entity, and application/xml-dtd Text/xml is an alias for application/xml. They are used to transfer XML files in their raw form without revealing their inherent semantics. Also, RFC 7303 advises giving media types with the +xml suffix to XML-based languages, such as image/svg+xml for SVG. |
