I have a SVGZ file which will not open in Firefox, Safari and IE. Does anyone know why the SVGZ file won't open in any of those browsers?

Try taking a look at this thread:

Sounds like you might have a server config problem. From user horatio:

Support for compressed svg will vary by browser, but you need to configure the server to properly flag the svgz file with information about its encoding to explicitly tell the browser how to decode it upon receipt.

Server response for svgz needs to be configured to include "Content-encoding: gzip"

  • i had configure Content-encoding: gzip in **IIS HTTP Response Headers** but didn't work. – user3790176 Mar 10 '15 at 07:25

    This solution is not helpful for opening a file on your local filesystem. Is there any way to do this without starting a local webserver, something not every user may want to (or be able to) do? – cazort Jul 13 '21 at 18:25
