Paths and SVG files

geometric objects like lines, curves, polygon, etc. These objects can be enlarged without any loss of quality and is therefore useful in visual designs. Common raster image formats are listed below: Extension in raw image formats, having minimal processing. They can be processed later with the highest quality. Raster image formats used by image editing software Image processing software can store extra 15 Select Export to open the Export Image as JPEG dialog box. Set the compression quality. The Quality slider defaults to 90, but you can adjust it up or down to reduce or increase compression
