How to View, Recolor, and Optimize SVG Code Online

Whether you ask an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT to generate an <svg> icon or export vector illustrations from Figma and SVGRepo, inspecting raw XML markup in a code editor rarely tells the full story. Missing width and height attributes, hard-coded hex colors, and verbose editor metadata often need a quick cleanup before the graphic goes into production.

Preview SVG Markup Across Light, Dark, and Grid Surfaces

Paste your SVG snippet or drop an .svg file into the SVG Viewer & Optimizer. The live canvas automatically resolves dimensions from the viewBox attribute so icons that omit explicit pixel widths never collapse to zero size. Switching between the transparent checkerboard, light, and dark backgrounds helps you catch white-on-white strokes or low-contrast fills immediately.

Swap Colors Interactively Without Hunting Through XML

Complex icons often repeat the same brand color across dozens of <path> and <rect> elements, either as fill="#..." attributes or inline style="fill:#..." rules. Instead of running manual find-and-replace queries:

1. Check the Detected Colors bar beneath the live preview in the SVG Viewer & Optimizer.
2. Click any swatch and drag the color picker cursor to watch every matching path update in real time.
3. Need a harmonious palette first? Sample or refine your target shade in the Color Picker.

Minify XML Bloat or Export High-DPI Raster Images

Before shipping the asset, click Optimize to strip XML comments, <metadata> blocks, and redundant whitespace—often cutting file size by 20% to 40%. When you need a raster image for slide decks, documentation, or social media, choose a 2x or 4x scale factor and export directly to PNG or WebP, or batch-process multiple files with the Image Converter.
