About SVG Viewer & Converter
The SVG Viewer & Converter previews raw SVG code as a live image and exports it as a .svg file or a flattened PNG. Paste the XML straight from your codebase — no need to save a file and open it in a vector editor first.
The split code-and-preview workflow is useful when an icon arrives as an inline snippet, a generated chart needs checking, or a hand-edited path must be validated visually. SVG remains resolution-independent when downloaded as SVG, while PNG provides a fixed raster image for software that cannot display vectors.
Rendering and PNG conversion use your browser's native canvas, so the code never leaves your device. The preview reflects what the browser can parse; it does not repair invalid XML or replace a full vector drawing editor.
How SVG Viewer & Converter works in practice
- 1Copy the raw `<svg>` code from your codebase or editor.
- 2Paste it into the SVG code input on the left.
- 3The right pane updates instantly with a live preview.
- 4Click "Download SVG" to save the code as a .svg file, or "Download PNG" to export a rasterized image.

- Fully client-side — code is never uploaded
Common questions about SVG Viewer & Converter
Why isn't my SVG rendering?
Make sure the code starts with an `<svg>` tag and ends with `</svg>`. Malformed XML or missing closing tags will prevent the browser from rendering it.
Does it support animations?
The live preview supports SVG animations (SMIL or CSS), but the PNG export captures a single static frame.
Why does my PNG look different from the SVG?
PNG is a raster snapshot at a fixed size. External fonts, linked resources, animation state and very small output dimensions can make it differ from the scalable browser preview.
Can this tool edit SVG paths visually?
No. Edit the XML attributes and path data in the code pane; the tool previews those changes but does not provide drawing handles or layers.
