Here’s the improved section with a dedicated What is SVG? Part:
SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, a format for creating images using lines, shapes, and paths instead of pixels. Unlike traditional image formats like PNG or JPEG, SVG files don’t lose quality when resized. This makes them ideal for designs and charts that need to look great on any screen size or resolution.
Scalable: SVGs can be resized infinitely without getting blurry or pixelated.
Lightweight: They are smaller in file size compared to many other image formats, which means faster loading times.
Editable: You can easily make changes to SVG files using design tools or even directly with code.
Interactive: SVGs can include animations, styles, and interactivity, making them highly versatile.
Before SVG integration, exporting charts and designs from Figma often caused:
Blurry Images: Raster formats like PNG or JPEG don’t scale well, leading to pixelation.
Rigid Designs: Once exported, it was nearly impossible to make changes without going back to Figma.
Time-Consuming Workflows: Designers often had to redo or reformat visuals to meet project requirements.
With PlotSet’s SVG export feature, you can avoid these issues completely. Here’s how:
Always Sharp Graphics: Your charts stay crisp and clear, no matter their size.
Full Control: Make edits easily after exporting, whether you’re in a design tool or working with code.
Fast and Seamless Workflow: Save time by exporting professional, ready-to-use visuals straight from Figma.
Developer-Friendly: SVG files are easy to integrate into websites, apps, and other digital platforms.
