## PDF vs SVG

|  | PDF | SVG |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Full name | Portable Document Format | Scalable Vector Graphics |
| Type | Document | Vector |
| Extensions | .pdf | .svg |
| MIME type | application/pdf | image/svg+xml |
| Best for | contracts, forms, reports, e-books and anything meant to be shared or printed | logos, icons, illustrations and responsive web graphics |

**PDF:** PDF preserves a document's exact layout, fonts and images so it looks identical on every device. It's the standard for sharing and printing documents.

**SVG:** SVG describes graphics as shapes and paths in XML, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size and is natively supported by every browser.
