Why Use SVG Viewer?

Instant SVG Preview

See your SVG rendered instantly with full zoom, pan, and background controls. No software installation required.

Source Code Editing

View and edit SVG source code with syntax highlighting and line numbers. Changes update the preview in real time.

Color Palette Extraction

Automatically extract every color used in your SVG. Copy hex codes with one click for your design workflow.

Multi-Format Export

Export your SVG as PNG or JPG at custom resolutions. Download the optimized SVG or copy as data URI or base64.

Common Use Cases

How people use the SVG viewer

Design Review

Quickly preview SVG assets from designers. Inspect dimensions, colors, and elements without opening a design tool.

Development & Debugging

Edit SVG markup and see changes live. Inspect elements, check viewBox settings, and optimize before embedding in code.

Format Conversion

Convert SVG files to PNG or JPG at any resolution. Perfect for generating raster versions of vector logos and icons.

Asset Inspection

Examine SVG files from icon libraries or design systems. Extract colors, check element structure, and verify quality.

How It Works

1

Upload or Paste SVG

Drag and drop an .svg file, paste SVG code directly, or load a sample SVG to explore the viewer.

2

Preview & Navigate

Use mouse wheel to zoom, click-drag to pan. Toggle backgrounds between checkerboard, white, black, or dark grey.

3

Inspect & Edit

Switch to source view to see and edit the SVG code. Hover elements in the preview to inspect tag names and attributes.

4

Export or Copy

Download as SVG, export as PNG/JPG at custom size, copy source code, or copy as data URI for embedding.

Pro Tips for SVG Viewing

Zoom Shortcuts

Use mouse wheel to zoom in/out. Double-click to fit the SVG to the viewport. Hold Shift while scrolling for finer zoom control.

Check Transparency

Toggle between checkerboard and solid backgrounds to see exactly which parts of your SVG are transparent.

Optimize Before Using

Run the optimizer to strip comments and whitespace. This can reduce SVG file size by 10-40% without visual changes.

Export at 2x for Retina

When exporting to PNG, double the dimensions for crisp rendering on high-DPI/Retina displays.

Frequently Asked Questions

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based format for two-dimensional vector graphics. Unlike raster images (PNG, JPG), SVGs can be scaled to any size without losing quality, making them ideal for logos, icons, and illustrations.
Yes. Switch to the source code view to see the full SVG markup with line numbers. You can edit the code directly and the visual preview updates in real time so you can see changes immediately.
Click the Export button and choose PNG. You can set a custom resolution (width and height). The SVG is rendered onto a canvas element in your browser and then exported as a PNG file - no server upload needed.
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your SVG file never leaves your device. This makes it completely private and secure.
The checkerboard pattern indicates transparency - areas of the SVG that have no fill or background. You can switch to white, black, or dark grey backgrounds to see how your SVG looks on different surfaces.
Yes. SVG animations (CSS animations, SMIL) will play in the preview since the SVG is rendered natively by the browser. You can view the animation source code in the code view.
The optimizer removes unnecessary content from your SVG: XML comments, extra whitespace, empty groups, and redundant metadata. This reduces file size without changing the visual appearance.
Colors are automatically extracted and displayed in a palette panel. Click any color swatch to copy its hex code. The extractor finds colors in fill, stroke, stop-color, and style attributes.
There is no hard limit since everything runs in your browser. However, very large SVGs (over 10MB) may be slow to render. For best performance, keep SVG files under 5MB.
Yes. The viewer is fully responsive and works on mobile devices. Touch gestures are supported for zoom (pinch) and pan (drag). The toolbar adapts to smaller screens.
