| Sep 2, 2022 at 5:08 | comment | added | schlebe | just converting SVG to PNG is only a workaround. It is not a good solution ! Why ? Because an SVG can be changed without drawing. Because a SVG can be easily changed or corrected by another user. Because a SVG can be scripted to add dynamic colors. I'm not stupid and I know that SVG script can be malicious ! For this case, it is perhaps interesting to define a new Review queue to review SVG that contains script ! | |

Also I've experienced that the site sometimes doesn't accept some image types, even if they are accepted (jpg, png, etc). They I have to download, re-compress them (f.e. convert sux.png sux-fixed.png or so) and then I can upload them. It is possible, that the real problem of the system that he doesn't like if I request him to download something from a third location, and not the actual file format.

| Dec 7, 2012 at 5:58 | comment | added | bgoodr | Converting to a raster format defeats the purpose behind SVG which is scalability. | |
