ORF at a glance
ORF
Convert to ORF when preserving Olympus camera originals or maintaining compatibility with an Olympus raw-photo workflow.
It is useful for archive masters and non-destructive photographic editing.
SVGZ at a glance
SVGZ
Convert to SVGZ when you need SVG semantics but want the file itself stored or transmitted in compressed form.
It is most useful for web asset pipelines, map layers, and technical graphics repositories where vector fidelity matters and pre-compressed files are already part of the deployment model.
If the downstream environment already applies gzip or brotli to ordinary SVG responses, plain SVG is often easier to work with.
Choose SVGZ when the consumer explicitly expects it or when archived asset size is worth prioritizing.

What changes when converting ORF to SVGZ?
This conversion changes how the format behaves in downstream tools and delivery environments.
Size profile changes from large in ORF to small in SVGZ. Quality profile changes from raw in ORF to scalable in SVGZ. Compatibility profile changes from limited in ORF to moderate in SVGZ. Archival profile changes from strong in ORF to good in SVGZ. Metadata profile changes from rich in ORF to moderate in SVGZ. Delivery profile changes from limited in ORF to strong in SVGZ. Workflow profile changes from source in ORF to design in SVGZ.
Moving to SVGZ adds vector scaling.
What should I review after converting ORF to SVGZ?
Check the exported file for Not human-readable without decompression.; Requires correct HTTP headers for web delivery.; Cannot be edited directly — must decompress first..
