What is SVG?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics. Unlike raster images (JPEG, PNG), SVG images can be scaled to any size without losing quality, making them ideal for responsive web design, icons, logos, and illustrations.
SVG files are text-based, meaning they can be edited with any text editor, searched, indexed, and compressed. They also support interactivity, animation, and CSS styling.
How to Use
- Paste or upload SVG — Paste SVG code directly into the textarea, or click Upload SVG to select a
.svgfile from your device. - Click View SVG — The tool renders a live preview, extracts metadata (dimensions, viewBox, xmlns), and shows formatted source code.
- Download — Download the SVG file or export as PNG. All processing is done in your browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata does this tool extract?
It extracts the SVG's dimensions (width, height), viewBox coordinates, XML namespace (xmlns), version, and a count of elements and paths in the document.
Is my SVG data stored on a server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your SVG files never leave your device.
Can I convert SVG to PNG?
Yes. Click the Download PNG button to render the SVG as a PNG image. This uses a canvas element in your browser and preserves the SVG's visual appearance at the specified viewBox dimensions.
What is the viewBox attribute?
The viewBox defines the coordinate system and aspect ratio of an SVG. It takes four values: min-x min-y width height. This attribute determines how the graphic scales and positions within its container.
