Native Browser Implementations

All native implementations listed are under active development as of June 2006

  • Mozilla 1.8+ based browsers such as Firefox 1.5+, Camino 1.0+ and SeaMonkey 1.0+ implement a large part of SVG Full 1.1. (Minimo does a smaller part) See also:
  • Opera Web Browser
    • Opera 8+ includes support for most of SVG Tiny 1.1, including declarative animation and SVG Tiny Fonts; also supported gradients and group opacity
    • Opera 9 includes support for SVG Basic 1.1, including declarative animation, scripting, and SVG Tiny Fonts
  • WebKit Web content rendering component. Bringing browser-native SVG to the next version of Safari and Konqueror.

Browser Plug-Ins

  • Adobe SVG Viewer (ASV) : The most full-featured SVG plug-in, with several additional features. Development of the viewer has been discontinued and support ends January 1, 2009. However, downloads from adobe.com/svg should remain possible indefinitely.
  • MOBIFORM SVGViewPlus (MOBIFORM) : audio, video, animation, printing, full SVGDOM, uses C# as script language
  • Renesis : under development, also does integration with File Explorer.
  • SVG Map Toolkit : preliminary viewer - very basic SVG support (no animation or scripting).
