SVG is an XML-based file format that has been specifically designed for viewing on the web. SVG can contain both vector and raster information. Some web browsers may require a plug-in to view SVG files; older browsers may not be able to view SVG files at all. SVG supports font embedding. You can also choose to produce compressed SVG files. The file extension changes to *.svgz when this option is enabled.
To export an SVG or SVGZ file, make sure a map or layout view is active. On the Share tab, click Map 
or Layout , depending on the active view, to open the Export pane. Change the File Type to SVG or SVGZ. Set a name and location for the file, as well as any other properties, then click Export.
Note:
Certain options are only available when exporting a map or layout. When exporting a map, you can set the size of the map export. When exporting a layout, you can clip to graphics extent.
The following properties are available when exporting to an SVG or SVGZ file:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
Output as image | Export vector content as an image. For maps or layouts containing vector layers with a high density of vertices, this can drastically reduce the output file size. When using this option, some enhanced features, such as layers and attributes, no longer work. |
Vector resolution | The effective dpi of the vector data in the layout. DPI is available only when exporting a layout. When exporting a map, the dpi is calculated automatically. |
Raster resample | The amount of image resampling. The control determines the effective resolution of raster content on output. For instance, if the output image quality ratio is set to 1:2 and the output resolution is set to 300 dpi, the raster content is output at approximately 150 dpi. In many cases, the raster data can be included at a lower dpi than the vector data without visibly affecting quality, which reduces the output file size. |
Embed fonts | Include embeddable fonts in the exported file to maintain font consistency across different platforms. |
Convert character marker symbols to polygon | Controls whether marker symbols based on font characters are exported as characters referenced from the font or as polygons. Check this option to view the output on a machine that does not have the appropriate fonts installed when you cannot embed the fonts due to licensing or file format restrictions. |
