easily scalable images

[ysoussov]

Hey everyone,
I was wondering, are there any vector image types that do not
require plugins and would be an easy conversion from other image types?

No. Closest you will get is SVG.

Not without a plugin, no. None of them support all of SVG without plugins
anyway. Opera supports Tiny SVG, Firefox, Safari and Konquerer support a
subset of SVG.

That's better than nothing. For "normal" SVG images the native support
in modern browsers is usually enough.

Yep, sure beats a download box! SVG work very well for logos if only...

I am rendering some designs in svg, and i was wondering, if i were to
require the SVG plugin could I easily scale the images down and
enlarge them, without any quality loss?
