Hi @Shweta.203

We have some prior Q&A about SVG files

- this is one of the topics → [SVG troubleshooting](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/svg-troubleshooting/11682)

- all topics → [Search results for 'svg order:latest' - Galaxy Community Help](https://help.galaxyproject.org/search?q=svg%20order%3Alatest)

The summary for the data type (any tool, since it is a global function)

- [UseGalaxy.eu](http://UseGalaxy.eu) – SVG data will display

- [UseGalaxy.org](http://UseGalaxy.org) – SVG data will **not** display, but you can download the image and use other software

- [UseGalaxy.org.au](http://UseGalaxy.org.au) – I’m not sure! But this could be tested.

Hope this helps! 🙂
