The SVG Working Group has published an updated Candidate Recommendation Snapshot of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2 and is inviting implementations of the specification. The revision includes corrections, clarifications and improvements intended to support greater interoperability, especially among web browsers.
SVG 2 defines the features and syntax for SVG, an XML-based language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector-and-raster graphics. SVG content can be styled and scaled to different display resolutions, and it can be viewed on its own, combined with HTML or embedded in other XML languages using namespaces.
The format also supports dynamic content. Scripts can make SVG documents interactive, while animations can be created with declarative features or scripts. The working group is accepting comments through GitHub issues until 1 December 2026.
