What this calculator does

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format that renders crisply at any resolution, making it ideal for icons, logos, illustrations, and data visualizations on the web. This tool provides a code editor where you can paste or write SVG markup and see the rendered output update in real time. Edit your SVG code directly and preview the visual result side by side. It is a convenient way to quickly test SVG snippets, debug SVG markup, tweak paths and styles, and copy or download the final SVG. SVG files are typically 60-80% smaller than equivalent PNG images for simple graphics.

Scripts, event handlers, and javascript: URIs are stripped from the preview for security.

SVG Editor FAQ

When should I use SVG instead of PNG or JPEG?
Use SVG for icons, logos, illustrations, charts, and any graphics with clean lines and flat colors. SVGs scale to any size without pixelation and are typically smaller in file size than raster equivalents. Use PNG/JPEG for photographs and complex images with many colors and gradients.
How do I optimize an SVG file for the web?
Remove editor metadata, comments, and unused definitions. Simplify paths by reducing decimal precision. Use the viewBox attribute instead of fixed width/height. Tools like SVGO can automate optimization and reduce file size by 30-50%. Inline small SVGs directly in HTML to eliminate HTTP requests.
Can I animate SVG elements?
Yes. SVG supports animation via CSS animations and transitions, JavaScript libraries like GSAP, and native SMIL animations (though SMIL is deprecated in Chrome). CSS animations work on SVG properties like fill, stroke, opacity, and transform, making it easy to create icon animations and loading spinners.

Interpret carefully
