SVG to Code
Upload an SVG file and get clean code you can paste directly into HTML. We strip out the junk that design tools add.
Why inline SVG?
Putting SVG code directly in your HTML has real benefits:
- No extra HTTP request - The image is part of the page, not a separate file to fetch
- CSS styling - You can target paths with CSS and change colors, strokes, animations
- JavaScript access - Manipulate the SVG with JS for interactive graphics
- Better caching - Gets cached as part of your HTML instead of separate image cache
What we clean up
SVG files from Figma, Illustrator, etc. contain a lot of unnecessary code:
- XML declarations you don't need in HTML5
- Editor namespaces and metadata
- Excessive decimal precision in coordinates
- Default values that could be removed
You get minimal, clean code that's ready to paste.
When NOT to inline
Inline SVG isn't always best. For large, complex graphics or images used on multiple pages, an external .svg file with proper caching might be better. Inline is best for icons and small graphics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Inline SVG can be styled with CSS and manipulated with JavaScript. It also saves an HTTP request. Use img tags for large SVGs that would bloat your HTML.
For small icons, no - it's often smaller than the overhead of a separate request. For large, complex SVGs, an external file might be better.
Yes! You can target specific paths, change fill colors, add hover effects, and create animations - things you can't do with img-embedded SVG.
Depends on context. For HTML5 pages, xmlns isn't required. We keep it if you need valid XML.
Yes. Inline SVG supports CSS animations and SMIL. You have full control over the elements.
