SVG Viewer

View an SVG file online, free

This SVG viewer online tool lets you check what an SVG file actually looks like without opening a design app. Paste SVG markup directly, or upload an .svg file, and it renders immediately in the preview above along with its width, height, and viewBox.

The preview loads inside a sandboxed frame with scripts disabled, so an SVG containing an embedded script won't execute it — useful when you're viewing a file you didn't create yourself, such as one downloaded from an icon pack or received from someone else.

What the viewer shows you

• Instant preview: paste or upload, and the SVG renders right away.
• Dimensions: the file's width, height, and viewBox are read and shown next to the preview.
• Sandboxed rendering: the SVG is displayed in a frame with scripts disabled.
• No upload: the file is rendered locally using a browser object URL, not sent to a server.

Need to change what you're looking at? Open it in the full SVG Lab editor to edit shapes and styles, or convert it with the SVG to PNG tool.

Why check an SVG before you use it

An SVG file is text, not a fixed image, so it's easy to end up with one that doesn't render the way you expect: a missing viewBox that makes it scale oddly, a width and height baked in that fight with the container you drop it into, or markup exported from a design tool with layers, colors, or shapes you didn't notice were there. Viewing the file first — outside of whatever app it came from — is a fast way to confirm it looks right before you use it in a website, app, or document.

It's also a reasonable habit when the SVG didn't come from your own design tool: an icon pack, a stock library, or a file someone sent you. SVG markup can technically include a <script> element, so previewing it in a sandboxed frame with scripts disabled — as this viewer does — is a safer first look than opening it directly in a browser tab.
