SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics, a XML based format) is not supported natively by ConTeXt. If you need a supported vector graphics format, try MetaPost (and MetaFun).

There is a workaround, though, using InkScape to convert SVG to PDF. Inkscape must be installed and callable (i.e. in your PATH):

\usemodule[res-08] \setups[rl:manipulate]

\setupexternalfigures[location=local,directory=.,conversion=pdf] % lowres,prefix=lowres/]

\starttext

\externalfigure[svg/sample.svg][frame=on]

\stoptext
