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 a PNG file?
Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression, created as a patent-free replacement for the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). Standardized as ISO/IEC 15948:2004, PNG utilizes the DEFLATE compression algorithm (a combination of LZ77 and Huffman coding) and supports palette-based images, grayscale, and full-color non-palette-based RGB/RGBA images. A defining feature is its alpha channel support, allowing for variable transparency levels, unlike the binary transparency of GIF. It does not support animation but offers gamma correction and interlacing via the Adam7 algorithm.
How to open a PNG file
PNG files possess near-universal compatibility across all major operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) and web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) without requiring additional software. Default image viewers such as Microsoft Photos, Apple Preview, and virtually all graphics editing software including GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, and Paint.NET natively handle the format.
