Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML -based vector image format for defining two-dimensional graphics, having support for interactivity and animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium since 1999. SVG images are defined in a vector graphics format and stored in XML text files.
Further information: Commons:Help:SVG. Scalable Vector Graphics is a commonly used file format for providing a geometrical description of an image using basic objects such as labels, circles, lines, curves and polygons. An image can be reduced or enlarged to an arbitrary size, and will not suffer image data loss, nor will it become pixelated.
MediaWiki converts the SVG image to a PNG image. The SVG format is the working format of the stored image so that people can more easily convert images for use in different languages. If you're using a browser other than Internet Explorer, just keep clicking the image and you'll eventually get the full-size image, which will be the SVG version.

The defining SVG was created from scratch using a plain text editor and validated using validator.w3.org. The PNG version was then rendered from the SVG using Inkscape , converted to grayscale and stripped from its alpha channel using the Gimp and finally optimized with pngout .
When SVG images are included in Wikipedia pages, what is served is a PNG conversion from the SVG (for example, this 240px version) - this conversion is performed by librsvg, not your browser. librsvg recognises XML only if it is well-formed and valid; it reconises SVG 1.1 but nothing later; and it recognises CSS 1 (and parts of CSS 2). So if ...
The way to suggest converting PNG to SVG is to tag the files on Commons with {{Convert to SVG}}. There are already SVG versions of the first file (e.g., commons:File:Respiratory_system.svg); a better result would have been to run SVG Translate on the English SVG. Glrx 20:08, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
