Convert GDRAW to SVG

Understanding gdraw and svg file formats

GDraw files are created by Google Drawings, a web-based diagramming tool that is part of Google Drive. These files are not standalone graphics files but rather links or containers for drawings stored in the cloud. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a widely used XML-based vector image format that is ideal for web and print due to its scalability and small file size.
