SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, a document format to reproduce 2D graphics.
Scalable means the graphics can be scaled in size (made larger) without loss of quality. This is not true with raster graphics. Additionally, storage space needed for SVG files is usually less than raster files.
SVG's are usually generated from "drawing" software such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
However, SVG files can even be generated manually or programmatically.
SVG's can also be interactive or animated.
