You say that pictures on the web are always raster? What about SVG?

28,149 PointsYeah, that's interesting. This is definitely an older video. I don't know the timeline here when SVGs really become support in browsers vs when this video was recorded. That's a good catch, cause I still missed that when I watched it

34,222 PointsI also wondered about that. SVG started to get widespread browser support in 2010. (except for IE ofc ^_^ ) It is definitely not correct anymore to say that vector images have to be converted to raster before they can be used on the web.

7,314 PointsThats what i thought, so the information given in the video i wrong right?
Kevin Korte
28,149 PointsWhere at in the video do you think it's wrong? I watched the whole 3:48 of the attached video to this question and didn't see any point were Allyson was wrong. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something too. I don't think they mentioned SVG in this video either.
