This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file . This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{ vector version available | new image name }} .


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Wikipedia article size in gigabytes.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva ) does not need the new image name parameter.
