Convert SVG to WOFF

Understanding SVG and WOFF file formats

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. It is widely used for rendering images on the web due to its scalability and resolution independence.

WOFF (Web Open Font Format) is a font format for use in web pages. It is essentially a compressed version of a font file, designed to be used with CSS @font-face rules. WOFF files are optimized for web use, providing faster load times and reduced bandwidth usage.
