How to convert SVG to a Data URI

What it is for

SVG Data URIs are useful for small inline icons, CSS backgrounds, and compact prototypes.

Two-way conversion

  • Paste SVG markup to encode it.
  • Paste an SVG Data URI to decode it.
  • Copy the result for CSS or HTML.

Keep it small

Data URIs work best for small SVGs. Large illustrations are usually easier to maintain as separate files.

Data URI example

Inline a small SVG

A valid SVG starts with an svg element, comments are removed, and the remaining markup is percent-encoded after the data:image/svg+xml prefix.

<svg viewBox="0 0 10 10"> -> data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg...

Data URI notes

Data URIs are convenient for small SVGs. Once the encoded string gets long, a separate .svg file is usually easier to cache, read, and maintain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the result in CSS?

Yes. The encoded output is ready for CSS url(...) usage or HTML attributes.

Does it sanitize SVG?

No. It converts text only, so review SVGs from untrusted sources before using them.

Can it decode any Data URI?

It is focused on SVG Data URIs, not arbitrary file formats.

Does it minify the SVG?

Only comments and outer whitespace are removed. Internal text spacing is preserved so the SVG does not change visually.
