What is SVG?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format for the web. Unlike raster images (PNG, JPG), SVGs can scale to any size without losing quality. They're perfect for logos, icons, illustrations, and interactive graphics. SVG files are text-based, meaning they can be edited with code and are typically smaller than equivalent raster images.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my SVG code stored on your servers?
No, all processing happens entirely in your browser. Your SVG code never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What's the maximum SVG size I can preview?
There's no hard limit, but very large SVGs (millions of elements) may slow down your browser. For best performance, keep SVGs under 1MB.
Can I preview animated SVGs?
Yes! SVG animations using CSS or SMIL will play in the preview. However, JavaScript-based animations require the full HTML context.
Why does my SVG look different than in my design tool?
Some design tools use non-standard features or proprietary attributes. Make sure your SVG follows W3C standards for best compatibility.
How do I fix SVG validation errors?
Common issues include missing xmlns attribute, unclosed tags, or invalid characters. The error message will point to the specific problem.
