How to View SVG Code

Simply upload your SVG file to instantly view SVG code with syntax highlighting. Our SVG code viewer makes it easy to extract, edit, and copy SVG source code for your projects.

Why Extract SVG Code?

For Web Development

When you extract SVG code, you can embed it directly in HTML for faster loading times. No more HTTP requests for image files - your graphics load instantly with the page.

For CSS Styling

SVG code lets you style graphics with CSS. Change colors, add hover effects, and animate elements - all impossible with regular image files.

For JavaScript Control

Access individual SVG elements with JavaScript. Build interactive graphics, data visualizations, and dynamic user interfaces.

For Better Performance

Inline SVG code eliminates render-blocking requests. Your pages load faster and feel more responsive, especially on mobile devices.

Common Ways to Use Extracted SVG Code

React Components

Convert your SVG code into React components for reusable graphics. Export the code as a component that accepts props for dynamic styling.

const Icon = (props) => <svg {...props}>...</svg>

CSS Background Images

Embed SVG code directly in CSS using data URIs. Perfect for icons and decorative elements that don't need JavaScript interaction.

background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml,...')

Vue Templates

Place SVG code directly in Vue templates for reactive graphics. Bind data to SVG attributes for dynamic visualizations.

<template><svg :width="size">...</svg></template>

Quick Tips for Working with SVG Code

  • ✓Remove unnecessary attributes: Delete editor-specific metadata like inkscape or illustrator namespaces to reduce file size.
  • ✓Use viewBox for responsiveness: Keep the viewBox attribute and remove fixed width/height for scalable graphics.
  • ✓Optimize path data: Round decimal places in path commands to 1-2 decimals for smaller file sizes without visible quality loss.
  • ✓Add ARIA labels: Include title and desc elements for accessibility when using inline SVG.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert SVG to code?

Simply upload your SVG file to our converter or drag and drop it into the upload area. The tool instantly extracts and displays the SVG source code with syntax highlighting. You can then copy the code or download it as a file.

What is SVG to code conversion?

SVG to code conversion extracts the underlying XML/HTML code from an SVG file. Since SVG files are text-based vector graphics, converting them to code reveals the markup that defines shapes, paths, colors, and other elements.

Can I view SVG code without downloading?

Yes! Our online tool displays SVG code immediately after upload without requiring any downloads. You can view, copy, and even format the code directly in your browser.

How do I extract SVG code from an image?

If you have an SVG file, upload it to our converter to extract the code. For raster images (PNG, JPG), you'll first need to convert them to SVG using a vectorization tool, then extract the code.

Is the SVG code optimized?

Our tool preserves the original SVG code structure. For optimization, we recommend using our SVG optimizer after extracting the code to reduce file size and improve performance.
