image

O elemento SVG <image> carrega imagens dentro de documentos SVG. Ele pode exibir arquivos raster image (en-US) ou outros arquivos SVG.

The only image formats SVG software must support are JPEG, PNG (en-US), and other SVG files. Animated GIF (en-US) behavior is undefined.

SVG files displayed with <image> are treated as an image (en-US): external resources aren't loaded, :visited styles aren't applied, and they cannot be interactive. To include dynamic SVG elements, try <use> with an external URL. To include SVG files and run scripts inside them, try <object> (en-US) inside of <foreignObject> (en-US).

Nota: The HTML spec defines <image> as a synonym for <img> while parsing HTML. This specific element and its behavior only apply inside SVG documents or inline SVG (en-US).
