SVG to Data URL Converter

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format that scales perfectly at any size. Sometimes you need to convert SVG to raster formats (PNG, JPEG, WebP) for compatibility with tools or platforms that don't support SVG natively. Tip: keep the original SVG as your source of truth and generate raster versions at specific sizes.

Use SVG for icons, logos, illustrations, and UI elements — anything that needs to scale or be styled with CSS. Use PNG for complex images, screenshots, and anywhere SVG isn't supported. Tip: SVGs are usually much smaller in file size than PNGs for simple graphics, and look sharp on all screen densities.

Use a tool like SVGR (svgr.com) to transform SVG markup into a React/JSX component with props for size and color. SVGR handles attribute conversion (class→className, fill-rule→fillRule) automatically. Tip: for Next.js, @svgr/webpack lets you import SVGs directly as React components.

SVG for vector graphics (logos, icons). WebP for photos and complex images (30% smaller than JPEG). AVIF for the best compression (50% smaller than JPEG). PNG for images needing transparency with legacy support. Tip: use the <picture> element with multiple sources to serve modern formats with fallbacks.

Yes, encode the SVG as a data URI for inline use in CSS: background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml,...'). URL-encode special characters or Base64-encode the SVG. Tip: URL-encoded SVGs are smaller than Base64 and more cacheable. Use encodeURIComponent() for the encoding.
