File formats and exporting

A laptop with four figurative icons floating above it, each showing a different file extension for SVG, EPS, Al and PNG, which are different file formats for storing computer graphics.

Create vector illustration assets with source files saved in their own native or open formats.

Deliverables may include .EPS, .SVG, .AI, .PNG depending on the intended use. A distinction should be made between deliverables for internal teams and contractors (i.e. source images) versus deliverables for users. For example a user should never see an .EPS or .AI file from us.

We are also building an archive of illustrative assets that will soon be available to adapt or re-contextualise in any new illustrations. For access contact the team at govuk-brand-team@dsit.gov.uk.
