## Good to know

- Vectors are rendered at high resolution (300 DPI or 2048px). Set a width under Options if you need a specific size.
- SVGZ files are typically used for shipping large vector graphics efficiently, while DDS is best for textures for games and real-time 3D.
- This conversion runs on ImageMagick in an isolated cloud sandbox. Files are encrypted in transit and deleted automatically.

## SVGZ vs DDS

|  | SVGZ | DDS |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Full name | Compressed SVG | DirectDraw Surface |
| Type | Vector | Image |
| Extensions | .svgz | .dds |
| MIME type | image/svg+xml | image/vnd-ms.dds |
| Best for | shipping large vector graphics efficiently | textures for games and real-time 3D |
| Properties | vector | lossy compression |

**SVGZ:** SVGZ is a gzip-compressed SVG file. It renders identically to SVG at a fraction of the file size.

**DDS:** DDS stores GPU-compressed textures with mipmaps so games can load them directly into video memory.
