Free SVG Viewer & Preview - View, Read and Export SVG Files Online
Paste SVG code or upload a file and see it render instantly. If your artwork is white and disappears on a white page, switch the preview background to dark or a custom color and it shows up straight away. The viewer reads the width, height and viewBox back to you, zooms, rotates and flips without touching the file, and exports to PNG, a data URI, or a React or React Native component. Everything runs in your browser - no installation and no upload to a server.
SVG File Viewer
The SVG file viewer renders your markup the moment it lands in the editor - paste code, upload a .svg file, or load the sample to see how it behaves. The preview is a true render of your code, so what displays here is what a browser will display on your page.
Use the viewer's controls to test the graphic in context: change the width and height to check how it scales, zoom in on the detail, rotate or flip it, and set a custom background color to catch icons that vanish against white or dark UI themes. When the artwork is right, copy it as a React or React Native component, grab a data URI, or convert SVG to PNG for platforms that don't accept vectors.
It works as an online SVG reader and code viewer in one: designers open exported files to confirm what shipped, and developers paste generated markup to debug why an icon renders blank.
How to Preview SVG Online:
- Paste your SVG code into the input editor or select an SVG file from your device to load it instantly.
- The tool detects your input and renders a live preview.
- Click the upper-left side of the input editor to modify width and height.
- Click the lower-left side of the output editor to set a custom background.
- After making adjustments, copy the React or React Native component, copy a data URI, or convert to PNG using the options above the output editor.
What is an SVG file?
An SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file is an image written as XML text. Instead of storing a grid of pixels the way PNG or JPG does, it stores drawing instructions - the paths, shapes, and colors that make up the picture - which the browser redraws at any size without loss of sharpness. That is why logos and icons ship as SVG: one small text file stays crisp from a 16-pixel favicon to a full-width banner.
It is also why an SVG opened in a text editor looks like a wall of markup rather than a picture. An SVG viewer does the drawing for you: it reads the XML and renders the image, so you can confirm what a file contains before you commit it, embed it, or send it on.
