About SVGs
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open standard used to describe
two-dimensional vector graphics. It is great for diagrams and shapes,
while PNGs are better for photographs. SVG files are a bit like
instructions on how to make an image. This means that they can be resized
without looking pixelated or blocky.

How to make SVGs
An excellent tool with which to create SVG images for use in Tux Paint is
Inkscape, a high-quality Open Source interactive drawing program available
for Windows, macOS, and Linux. There are also other applications that can
produce SVGs, both free/open source, and commerical/proprietary.
