SVG Formatter — Beautify & Indent SVG Code

Turn minified or machine-generated SVG into clean, readable markup. The formatter re-indents every element, puts each tag on its own line, and produces consistently structured code that is easy to review, edit, and commit to version control.

Features

  • Proper hierarchical indentation for nested elements
  • One element per line for readable diffs in version control
  • Consistent attribute formatting
  • Handles large, deeply nested SVG documents

How it works

  1. Paste your single-line or messy SVG code into the input.
  2. Click Format to re-indent the markup instantly.
  3. Copy the beautified output back into your project.

Frequently asked questions

Does formatting change how the SVG renders?

No. Formatting only changes whitespace and line breaks in the source code. The rendered image is pixel-identical.

When should I format instead of minify?

Format SVG when you need to read or edit it — during development and code review. Minify it when you ship to production to save bandwidth.

All processing happens locally in your browser — your SVG code is never uploaded to a server.
