Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using SVGs from EverySVG in your projects.

What are SVGs?

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. Unlike raster images (PNG, JPG) made of pixels, SVGs are made of mathematical paths and shapes, so they scale to any size without losing quality — perfect for icons, logos, and illustrations. SVGs are written in XML, so they can be styled, animated, and manipulated with CSS and JavaScript directly in the browser.

How do I use SVGs from EverySVG?

Click the Copy button on any card to copy the SVG code to your clipboard and paste it into your HTML or React component. You can also open an asset's detail page to copy the source, customize colors and size first, or download the file for design tools like Figma and Illustrator.

How do I change the color of an SVG?

Edit the fill or stroke attribute in the SVG code (for example fill="#ff0000"), or set fill="currentColor" and control the color from CSS. The Color Changer tool does this automatically for every occurrence of a color.

How do I resize an SVG?

Change the width and height attributes in the svg tag, or size it with CSS. Keep the viewBox unchanged to preserve proportions. The SVG Resizer tool handles this for you with aspect-ratio locking.

Are these SVGs free to use?

All SVGs in the library are sourced from open-source icon sets and are free for personal and commercial projects. Attribution is appreciated but not required unless the original set specifies it. Brand logos remain trademarks of their respective owners.

How do I search for specific SVGs?

Use the search bar on the home page — it matches names and tags in real time. You can also browse everything or explore by collection.

Can I publish my own SVGs?

Yes. Sign in with Google, create artwork in the SVG Editor, and publish it to the community library with a title, tags, and license of your choice.
