SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, a document format to reproduce 2D graphics.
Scalable means the graphics can be made larger without loss of quality. (This is not always true with raster graphics.)
Additionally, storage space needed for SVG files is usually less than raster files.
SVG files are usually created in "drawing" software such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
However, SVG files can even be generated manually or programmatically.
SVG files can also be interactive and/or animated, and it can contain metadata.
(an SVGZ file is a compressed SVG file.)
