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.
