Is this SVG Viewer free?

Yes, this tool is completely free to use for both personal and commercial projects.

Can I convert SVG to other formats?

This tool views, edits, formats and minifies SVG; it does not export PNG, and the site's image converters do not accept SVG input. To rasterize an SVG, use a command-line renderer such as rsvg-convert (rsvg-convert -w 512 -o icon.png icon.svg) or Inkscape (inkscape icon.svg --export-type=png). To embed an SVG inline, use Image to Base64.

Can I edit SVG code and see changes live?

Yes. Edits in the code editor are reflected instantly in the preview pane, so you can tweak paths, colors, and dimensions and watch the vector graphic update in real time.

Can I load an SVG from a URL?

Not directly — there is no URL field. Open the link in your browser, save the .svg file (or view its source and copy the markup), then open the file here or paste the code into the editor.

Why Use an SVG Viewer, SVG Editor, and Live Preview Tool?

Open SVG files, inspect SVG code, preview changes instantly, and format or minify vector markup without installing design software or desktop tools.

What Is an SVG Viewer and SVG Editor?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics, with support for interactivity and animation. This tool shows the SVG markup next to a rendered preview, so you can edit the code, check the result and shrink the file without leaving the browser — useful for debugging icons or adjusting vector illustrations.

Key Features of This SVG Viewer and SVG Editor

Live Preview While You Edit

Every change in the code editor is rendered in the preview pane right away. Zoom from 10% to 500% and scroll the preview to check paths, shapes and styling.

Runs in Your Browser

The SVG is read, rendered and formatted by JavaScript in your browser. Files you open and code you paste are not uploaded to a server.

Format, Minify and Download

“Format SVG” re-indents the markup with 4 spaces; “Minify SVG” removes comments and the whitespace between tags. Copy the result or download it as an .svg file.

How to Use the SVG Viewer & Editor

1
Load your SVG
Open an .svg file, drag and drop it onto the editor, or paste SVG code into the editor.
2
Preview in real time
The right pane renders your SVG as you type. Zoom in or out and scroll the preview to inspect shapes, paths and styling.
3
Format or minify the code
Use “Format SVG” to re-indent the markup with 4 spaces, or “Minify SVG” to remove comments and whitespace and reduce file size.
4
Copy or download
Copy the optimized SVG code to your clipboard or download the .svg file for use in your project.
