HPGL to SVGZ Conversion: FAQ
What are HPGL files?
The .hpgl file format (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) is a text-based vector format used to control plotters and printers. It contains simple ASCII commands that direct pen movements to draw lines, curves, and text. Originally created for HP plotters, it's widely used in CAD, engineering, and PCB design for precise technical drawings. Its simplicity and compatibility keep it relevant in many design and printing workflows.
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.
