SVG AI image check: metadata lives in the XML

SVG is XML, so any provenance is written as elements in the text, typically an RDF or XMP block in a metadata element, and the C2PA specification allows a manifest in SVG; isGenAI’s image tools read raster containers, so an SVG is checked by reading its XML or by rasterising a copy for pixel and matching-copy checks.

Every readable EXIF field is listed with the tag it came from. Missing EXIF proves nothing either way.

Where SVG keeps provenance

SVG has a metadata element that may hold RDF, Dublin Core or an XMP packet, and editors such as Inkscape write their own namespaces. The C2PA specification defines embedding for SVG as well. Vector generators, including Recraft’s vector mode, document no provenance output we could find, so an AI SVG usually carries only what the editor added.

Because the file is text, you can read it yourself in any editor.

What isGenAI does with an SVG

The AI image detector, EXIF viewer, metadata remover and C2PA checker read raster and media containers, not SVG. Open the SVG in a text editor and search for metadata, RDF, xmp or c2pa to see what it holds. For a visual or matching-copy check, rasterise a copy to PNG in your browser or editor and upload that; the PNG is a new file with no records.

An SVG with embedded raster images may carry provenance inside those base64 images; extract one and check it as a PNG or JPEG.

Advice

Ask the creator for the generation record: a prompt page, a project file or the raster original. For SVGs exported from a raster AI image, the earlier raster file is where the evidence lives.

Do not treat an empty metadata element as proof of hand-drawn work.

How to check a file in this format

  1. Keep the original bytes. Do not open and re-save the file in an editor before checking it.
  2. Use the tool that accepts the format: the AI image detector for PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF and TIFF; the C2PA checker for those plus HEIC, PDF, MP4 and MOV.
  3. Read each finding with its source field. The report names the container record it came from.
  4. If you must convert, convert a copy and compare both files with the image metadata compare tool so you know what the conversion dropped.

Frequently asked questions

Does isGenAI accept SVG?

No. Read the XML directly for metadata, extract any embedded raster image and check that, or rasterise a copy for pixel and matching-copy checks.

Can an SVG carry C2PA Content Credentials?

The C2PA specification allows it, but we know of no vector generator writing one as of October 2026.

Does Recraft write provenance into SVG exports?

We found no Recraft documentation of provenance in vector exports. Open the file and inspect the XML.

How do I check an AI logo delivered as SVG?

Inspect the XML for metadata, ask for the raster original or prompt record, and check embedded raster images with the AI image detector.
