What is the SVG Viewer & Converter?
The SVG Viewer & Converter is a powerful browser-based tool for developers and designers to instantly preview raw SVG code and export it as a clean image file.
Instead of saving an SVG file locally and opening it in a browser or vector graphics editor, you can paste the raw XML code directly into the editor and see a live, rendering preview.
Additionally, this tool leverages your browser's native canvas to flatten the vector graphic and export it as a high-quality PNG image, making it easy to create fallbacks or share visuals with non-technical stakeholders.
How to use the SVG Viewer & Converter
- 1Copy your raw `<svg>` code from your codebase or editor.
- 2Paste the code directly into the SVG Code Input area on the left.
- 3The right pane will instantly update to show a live preview of your graphic.
- 4Click "Download SVG" to save the code as an actual .svg file.
- 5Click "Download PNG" to flatten the graphic and export a rasterized image.
Key features
- Live Preview Engine: See instant visual feedback as you edit or paste SVG code.
- Offline Processing: Everything renders natively in your browser using HTML5 technologies without uploading code to a server.
- Export to PNG: Automatically draws your vector paths to a canvas and exports a transparent, flattened PNG.
- Export to SVG: Save raw code snippets as valid .svg files for your file system.
Examples

Frequently asked questions
Is my SVG code uploaded to your servers?
No. The entire process, from live preview to PNG conversion, happens securely within your own browser.
Why isn't my SVG rendering?
Make sure your code starts with an `<svg>` tag and ends with `</svg>`. Missing closing tags or malformed XML will prevent the browser from rendering the image.
Does it support animations?
The live preview supports SVG animations (like SMIL or CSS), but the PNG export will only capture a single static frame of the graphic.
