Detailed description:
Instead of a collection of pixels which comprise a raster image, vector
images are made up of sets of coordinates that represent shapes with
color fills assigned. Because they are a description of how to create a
raster image, rather than an actual raster themselves, true vector
graphics can be rendered at any desired resolution with no loss in
quality. Note that Derpibooru generates PNG previews of SVG files which
are submitted at their nominal size, but keeps the original SVG file
available for download.
If the submission is in the SVG format, or if the artist has made a SVG
or AI file available at the source, please add the appropriate tag:
.svg available or .ai
available.
Additionally, please add the tag transparent
background if the background of the image
is partly or wholly transparent (very common on vector images).
