What is an SVGZ file?

The SVGZ format is strictly a GZIP-compressed version of a standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file. It utilizes the Deflate compression algorithm (RFC 1951) to reduce the file size of the verbose XML text data typically found in standard SVGs, often achieving size reductions of 50-80%. While functionally identical to SVG in terms of graphical rendering capabilities and DOM structure, the binary compression prevents the file from being readable in standard text editors without prior decompression.

How to open an SVGZ file

Most modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) render SVGZ files natively, provided the web server serves them with the correct Content-Encoding: gzip header. For offline editing, vector graphics tools like Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape automatically handle the decompression and display the graphic. If manual inspection is required, the file can be renamed with a .gz extension and decompressed using utilities like 7-Zip or GNU Gzip.

What is an EPS file?

The EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format is a legacy vector graphics standard developed by Adobe in the late 1980s. It contains PostScript page description language commands describing 2D vector graphics, bitmap images, and text. Conforming to the Document Structuring Conventions (DSC), an EPS file includes a BoundingBox comment that defines the rectangular area of the graphic. It is strictly a single-page format intended to be embedded within other PostScript documents, often containing a low-resolution TIFF or WMF preview for onscreen display.

How to open an EPS file

While native OS support for EPS is deprecated in modern Windows and macOS (Preview no longer supports it as of macOS Monterey), professional vector editors are required for manipulation. Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW are the industry standards for editing EPS syntax. For viewing or rasterizing without expensive software, users can utilize Ghostscript, Inkscape (open source), or EPS Viewer. Converting to PDF is often recommended for broader accessibility.
