What is SVG?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics. Unlike raster formats (JPEG, PNG), SVG images can be scaled to any size without losing quality, making them ideal for logos, icons, illustrations, and responsive web graphics.
This editor lets you write SVG code directly and see the rendered result in real-time, making it easy to experiment, debug, and refine vector graphics.
SVG vs Raster Image Formats
| Feature | SVG | PNG/JPEG |
|---|---|---|
| Scalability | Infinite (vector) | Fixed pixels |
| File size | Small for simple shapes | Small for photos |
| Animation | CSS/JS animatable | Not natively |
| Best for | Logos, icons, UI | Photos, textures |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use SVG animations in this editor?
Yes! You can use SMIL animations (animate, animateTransform) and CSS animations within your SVG code, and they will render in the preview pane in real-time.
What is a Data URL for SVG?
A Data URL encodes the SVG as a base64 string that can be used directly in CSS
background-image or HTML img src without a separate file.Why use SVG over icon fonts?
SVG icons offer better accessibility (each icon can have a title/description), more styling control (fill, stroke, gradients), sharper rendering, and can be loaded individually without downloading an entire font file.
How do I optimize SVG file size?
Remove unnecessary metadata (editor comments, IDs), simplify paths, use short decimal precision, remove unused defs/gradients, and consider tools like SVGO for automated optimization.
