RAS to SVGZ Conversion: FAQ
What are RAS files?
The RAS file extension represents the CALS Raster File Format, a standard developed by the U.S. Department of Defense for the interchange of monochrome raster graphics. It is primarily used for storing high-resolution, black-and-white images such as engineering drawings, technical manuals, and scanned documents. CALS RAS files are typically used in military, aerospace, and government applications due to their consistency and archival suitability. The format supports compression and is optimized for printing and long-term storage.
What are SVGZ files?
SVGZ is an extension attached to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images with GZIP compression. Such files can contain animations or interactive graphics, including vector objects, images and text, while supporting layer rendering, transparency, filter effects and several other features. As a version of SVG, the SVGZ format is based on an open standard and uses the XML markup language, being supported by most web browsers. The main advantage of SVGZ over its uncompressed variant is size, which can be 20 to 50 percent smaller.
