How to use SVGZ for Jordan
- A browser — open the file with a double click: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge unpack it themselves.
- Inkscape — opens and saves compressed SVG directly, no separate unpacking step needed.
- The command line — gunzip gives back an ordinary .svg if a program does not understand the compressed variant.

FAQ: SVGZ for Jordan
How does SVGZ differ from SVG?
It is the same SVG wrapped in gzip. The content is identical — tags, styles and viewBox are the same; only the file size changes (5-10x smaller).
Are special server settings needed?
To serve over HTTP set the type image/svg+xml and the header Content-Encoding: gzip. When opening from disk the browser detects gzip by the first bytes automatically.
Is quality lost in compression?
No. gzip is lossless, the original SVG is restored bit-for-bit. The vector graphics stay infinitely scalable.
Why does the browser show garbage instead of the map?
Almost always it is the server headers: the file was served without indicating gzip encoding, and the browser took the compressed bytes for text. Locally, from disk, the same file opens fine.
Does SVGZ open in every editor?
Not in every one. Browsers, Inkscape and Illustrator read it directly, while some online editors expect an ordinary SVG. In that case unpack the file or download the uncompressed variant from us.
