SVG Viewer & Editor
Preview, edit and optimize SVG files online. Real-time preview, code editing, and optimization tools.
What is SVG format?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format that allows infinite scaling without quality loss. It is widely used for logos, icons, and web graphics.
What is the difference between SVG and PNG?
SVG is a vector format that uses mathematical formulas to describe graphics and can be scaled infinitely without losing quality. PNG is a raster format composed of pixels that becomes blurry when enlarged. SVG is ideal for logos, icons, and diagrams, while PNG is better suited for photos.
What file formats can I view?
This tool views SVG files. You can paste SVG code directly or upload an .svg file from your device.
Can I edit SVG code directly?
Yes, you can edit the SVG source code in the editor panel and see changes reflected in the preview panel in real-time.
How does real-time preview work?
The preview panel automatically updates as you type in the code editor, showing you exactly how your SVG will render in browsers.
How do I optimize my SVG?
Click the Optimize button to remove unnecessary whitespace, comments, metadata, and redundant attributes from your SVG code, reducing file size.
Can I change SVG colors and styles?
Yes, you can modify fill colors, stroke colors, opacity, and other style attributes directly in the SVG code.
Does SVG support animation?
Yes, SVG supports animations through SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) and CSS animations. You can create effects like motion, color changes, and shape transformations directly within SVG.
What browsers are supported?
This tool works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
How can I validate SVG syntax?
The tool automatically highlights syntax errors in your SVG code, helping you identify and fix issues immediately.
Can I resize SVG without quality loss?
Yes, SVG is a vector format that can be scaled to any size without losing quality or becoming pixelated.
Is my SVG data sent to a server?
No, all processing happens locally in your browser. Your SVG content never leaves your device.
How to Use SVG Viewer & Editor
SVG Viewer & Editor renders an SVG the moment you paste its code or drop the file, and lets you edit the markup with a live preview. Everything happens locally in your browser.
- Paste your SVG code into the editor with the hint “Paste SVG code here or drag & drop a file...”, or drag an .svg file onto the page.
- The graphic renders immediately in the live preview next to the code.
- Edit attributes like viewBox, width, height, fill or path data directly in the code — the preview updates as you type.
- Fix common issues on the spot, such as a missing xmlns attribute or a viewBox that crops the artwork.
- Copy the final code back out once the preview looks right.
If the preview stays blank, check that the code starts with <svg and includes the xmlns namespace — a missing xmlns is the most common cause.
