| Compressed SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) Format | Adobe Systems | Vector Image Files |
The .SVGZ is a compressed file format based on the Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) file format and developed by Adobe Systems Inc. The SVG format enables users to create 2-dimensional graphics and complex illustrations, while the SVGZ format reduces these files to a considerably smaller size while retaining the illustrative functionality of the original SVG files. Compressed SVG files are also referred to as “svgzip” files.
File Properties and Programs
The.SVGZ file is a compressed version of an original SVG file using a zip-compression algorithm that can reduce the size of an SVG file by up to 80%, making them easier to transfer over the internet. Uncompressing these files typically requires a modern web browser or other compatible programs such as CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Sketch, GIMP, and Other SVG Editors. The .SVGZ file is one of many compressed formats that include GZNXPCK, 7ZEE, and TARXZ.
When to Use This File Extension?
It is recommended that users compress their original SVG files into an.SVGZ format before sharing them online. This can speed up the amount of time it takes for the file to be sent over the Internet and can also lead to saving storage space on a local hard drive if storing multiple large vector graphics. Converting from the SVG to the SVGZ format will likely occur automatically when a user shares their vector graphics over the Internet.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SVGZ) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SVGZ extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SVGZ file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SVGZ extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SVGZ extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SVGZ file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SVGZ file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SVGZ file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SVGZ file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SVGZ file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
