RAW files are files that contain unprocessed data created and captured using a digital camera’s sensors. They ensure a high level of image detail and lossless quality. Before using RAW files, they must be imported into appropriate software for editing or exporting as a different raster image file, such as PNG or JPG. RAW format is often called ‘digital negative’ because it constitutes the ingredients of a photo needed for processing to produce a picture’s full potential.
SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics file, is a web-friendly vector format developed for designing 2D graphics. It has enhanced support for animation, interactivity, and transparency. Unlike bitmapped raster file formats like JPEGs, SVG files use commands or mathematical formulas to store images in gridlines and points. The benefits of SVG are that its images are scalable without losing image quality, making them ideal for high-resolution displays and responsive web designs. The SVG file type compresses images using XML code and the Gzip algorithm, resulting in smaller files. Besides, metadata stored as literal texts enables its contents to be easily indexed, searched, and retrieved.
To convert files from RAW to SVG use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any RAW photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the RAW pics you want to convert.
After uploading the RAW image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select SVG.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted SVG file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the SVG file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a RAW file as a SVG file, you first convert it to SVG and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from RAW to SVG, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the RAW file, Download the SVG file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of SVG is its strong support in modern web browsers and various software applications, ensuring that images can be widely accessed with minimal compatibility issues. SVG is a vector-based format that uses lossless compression, preserving image quality regardless of size or scaling. The main disadvantage of RAW files is their large size and specific use case for professional editing, as they store unprocessed data from a camera sensor.
