=== Mobile profiles ===

Because of industry demand, two mobile profiles were introduced with SVG 1.1: ''SVG Tiny'' (SVGT) and ''SVG Basic'' (SVGB).

These are subsets of the full SVG standard, mainly intended for [[user agent]]s with limited capabilities. In particular, SVG Tiny was defined for highly restricted mobile devices such as [[cellphone]]s; it does not support styling or scripting.<ref name="tiny1.x">{{cite web |title=SVG Tiny 1.2 |url=http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/intro.html#SVGTiny12 |work=Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Tiny 1.2 Specification |publisher=[[World Wide Web Consortium|W3C]] |date=2008-12-22 |access-date=2014-03-05 |archive-date=30 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140130110734/http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/intro.html#SVGTiny12 |url-status=live }}</ref> SVG Basic was defined for higher-level mobile devices, such as [[smartphone]]s.

In 2003, the [[3GPP]], an international telecommunications standards group, adopted SVG Tiny as the mandatory vector graphics media format for next-generation phones. SVGT is the required vector graphics format and support of SVGB is optional for [[Multimedia Messaging Service]] (MMS) and Packet-switched Streaming Service.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.svgopen.org/2003/paperAbstracts/svgmms.htm |title=SVG in 3GPP Multimedia Messaging and Streaming Services (version March 2003) |publisher=SVG Open |year=2003 |access-date=19 October 2009 |archive-date=26 June 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090626135254/http://www.svgopen.org/2003/paperAbstracts/svgmms.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/26_series/26.140/26140-520.zip |title=3GPP Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS); Media formats and codecs (Release 5); 3GPP TS 26.140 V5.2.0 (2002-12); Technical Specification |date=2 January 2003 |format=[[ZIP (file format)|zipped]] doc |publisher=[[3GPP]] |access-date=25 February 2010 |df=dmy-all |archive-date=8 February 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070208102602/http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/26_series/26.140/26140-520.zip |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/26_series/26.234/26234-540.zip |title=3rd Generation Partnership Project; Technical Specification Group Services and System Aspects; Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS); Media formats and codecs (Release 5) |work=3GPP TS 26.140 V5.2.0 (2002-12) |date=March 2003 |publisher=[[3GPP]] |format=[[ZIP (file format)|zipped]] doc |access-date=24 February 2010 |df=dmy-all |archive-date=12 February 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070212231732/http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/26_series/26.234/26234-540.zip |url-status=live }}</ref> It was later{{When|date=October 2017}} added as required format for vector graphics in 3GPP [[IP Multimedia Subsystem]] (IMS).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/26141.htm |title=3GPP Specification detail - 3GPP TS 26.141: IP Multimedia System (IMS) Messaging and Presence; Media formats and codecs |date=10 December 2009 |publisher=[[3GPP]] |access-date=24 February 2010 |archive-date=7 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081007213730/http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/26141.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

Neither mobile profile includes support for the full Document Object Model (DOM), while only SVG Basic has optional support for scripting, but because they are fully compatible subsets of the full standard, most SVG graphics can still be rendered by devices which only support the mobile profiles.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://svg.org/special/svg_phones |title=Listing of phones that support SVG |publisher=Svg.org |access-date=24 October 2010 |archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20100108141222/http://www.svg.org/special/svg_phones |archive-date=8 January 2010}}</ref>

SVGT 1.2 adds a microDOM (μDOM), styling and scripting.<ref name="tiny1.x" /> SVGT 1.2 also includes some features not found in SVG 1.1, including non-scaling strokes, which are supported by some SVG 1.1 implementations, such as Opera, Firefox, and WebKit. As shared code bases between desktop and mobile browsers increased, the use of SVG 1.1 over SVGT 1.2 also increased.
