Free SVG Viewer Online

Paste or drop an SVG to render it live, zoom and pan, inspect the raw code, then copy or download, no upload, no signup.

100%

Paste SVG code, or drag & drop a .svg file here.

SVG input

Load example

Scroll to zoom, drag to pan. Nothing is uploaded, rendering happens entirely in your browser.

A real SVG viewer, not just an image tag

Dropping an SVG into a browser tab renders it, but gives you no way to zoom into fine details, compare it against the raw markup, or grab a clean copy of the code. This tool adds a proper viewer on top: pan and zoom controls, a toggleable syntax-highlighted code view, and one-click copy/download, useful for quickly checking an icon, a logo export, or an SVG someone sent you before trusting it.

What you can do

Zoom & pan

Scroll to zoom from 25% to 800%, drag to pan around the canvas, useful for checking fine path detail.

Raw code view

Toggle to a syntax-highlighted view of the exact markup, without leaving the page.

Drag & drop or paste

Load an SVG by dropping a file, uploading it, or pasting markup directly.

Copy or download

Grab the SVG markup to your clipboard or save it as a .svg file once you've confirmed it looks right.

Native browser rendering

The preview uses the browser's own SVG engine, so gradients, filters, and clip paths render exactly as they would in production.

Nothing leaves your device

Files are read locally, no upload, no server processing, no account required.

Common use cases

Sanity-check an icon export before dropping it into a codebase, inspect an SVG someone sent you without opening a design tool, zoom into a complex illustration to debug a rendering glitch, or quickly compare the visual result against the underlying markup while hand-editing paths.

Related tools

Once you've inspected an SVG here, convert it to a PNG or a base64 data URI, clean up its markup with the SVG optimizer, or recolor it with the SVG color editor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I view an SVG file online?

Paste the SVG markup directly, or drag & drop a .svg file onto the tool. It renders instantly and you can zoom, pan, or switch to raw code view to inspect the file.

Does this tool upload my SVG anywhere?

No. The file is read locally with the browser's FileReader API and rendered as a data URI image, nothing is sent to a server.

Why won't my browser open an SVG file directly?

Most browsers will open a standalone .svg file if you drag it into a tab, but that gives you no zoom controls, no code view, and no way to inspect or export it. This viewer adds all three on top of the raw render.

How do I zoom in on an SVG?

Scroll your mouse wheel or trackpad over the preview to zoom in and out, or use the plus/minus buttons in the toolbar. Click "Reset view" to return to 100% zoom and centered position.

Can I see the raw SVG code?

Yes. Click the code icon in the toolbar to switch from the visual preview to a syntax-highlighted view of the underlying markup.

Can I download the SVG after viewing it?

Yes. Once an SVG is loaded, use the Copy button to copy the markup to your clipboard, or Download to save it as a .svg file.

What SVG features does the viewer support?

Anything a browser can render natively: paths, gradients, filters, clip paths, and embedded raster images all display correctly, since the SVG is rendered by the browser's own SVG engine rather than a custom parser.
