What Is an SVG File?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is the web standard for resolution-independent artwork. A file is XML that describes rectangles, circles, paths, text, gradients, patterns, clipping paths and masks, optionally styled with CSS and reusing shapes through symbols and use references. Logos, icons, charts, maps, floor plans and laser-cutter artwork are all commonly saved as SVG.
This viewer parses the document in your browser and draws it as a two-dimensional scene you can pan and zoom, with the document’s transform stack applied, embedded CSS resolved, text placed along its baselines and linked or embedded images placed in position. A file that stops partway through, such as a cut-off download, is closed and drawn as far as it goes.
The drawing can be exported as DXF, DWG, PDF or a PNG or JPG image, which is how SVG artwork reaches CAD, CNC and print workflows.
Who Uses SVG Files?
Web and graphic designers checking an export from Figma, Illustrator or Inkscape, developers debugging an icon that renders blank, makers preparing laser-cutter and vinyl-cutter artwork, engineers receiving a diagram or plan as SVG, and anyone who wants to see an SVG without opening a code editor or a design program.
Common Use Cases
- See what an SVG looks like without a design program
- Check an icon or logo export before shipping it
- Turn SVG artwork into DXF or DWG for CAD or a CNC machine
- Save an SVG as a PDF or a PNG at the size you need
- Open an SVG that a browser tab shows blank or distorted
- Share an SVG drawing as a link or an embeddable page
Features
Opens SVG Without a Design App
Drop an .svg and it draws in your browser. No Illustrator, Inkscape or code editor.
Paths, Shapes and Text
Every path command, the basic shapes, and text including text set along a path.
Gradients and Patterns
Linear and radial gradients and tiled patterns are drawn as the file defines them.
Clipping, Masks and Markers
Clipping paths, masks and line markers are applied.
Symbols and Reused Shapes
Symbols and use references are resolved, so icon sheets and sprite files draw in full.
Embedded CSS
Style blocks inside the file are applied, the way a browser applies them.
Images in Place
Raster images embedded in the SVG are drawn where the file puts them.
Cut-Off Files Still Draw
An SVG that stops partway through, such as an interrupted download, is closed and drawn as far as it goes.
Export to DXF and DWG
Send artwork to CAD, laser and CNC workflows as DXF, or as DWG from our server.
Export to PDF, PNG and JPG
Save the drawing as a vector PDF page or as an image at the size you choose.
Real Size Kept
A drawing authored in millimetres or inches carries that size into the export.
Nothing Is Uploaded
The file is read on your device. It leaves only if you choose to share a link.
Compatibility & Format Notes
The viewer covers the drawing parts of SVG: paths with every curve command, basic shapes, strokes with dashes, caps and joins, fills with both fill rules, linear and radial gradients, patterns, clipping paths, masks, markers, groups, symbols and use references, embedded CSS style blocks, text including text on a path, and raster images, with CSS blend modes.
Text is drawn in the nearest font your browser has, so a file that names a font you do not have shows in a substitute. Scripts and animation are not run, so an animated SVG shows its first frame. Drawings authored in millimetres or inches carry that size into exports.
Compressed SVG (.svgz) and SVG inside a ZIP open as well.
Embed on Your Website
Add this viewer to your own site with a single line of HTML. Click Embed in the toolbar to generate an embed code, or use the snippet below with your own file URL.
Your Files Stay on Your Computer
Your SVG files are parsed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or shared unless you explicitly click the Share button. Shared files are hosted for 90 days then deleted.
Frequently Asked Questions
▶How do I open an SVG file?
Drop it on this page. The viewer draws it in your browser, and you can pan and zoom. Nothing needs installing.
▶Can I convert SVG to DXF or DWG?
Yes. Click Export and choose DXF, or DWG, which is converted on our server from the DXF the viewer writes. Curves become CAD curves, so the result suits laser and CNC cutting as well as drawing.
▶Why does my SVG look different here than in my design app?
Differences usually come from fonts the file names but this computer does not have, and from effects the viewer does not apply. A file exported with its text converted to outlines looks the same everywhere.
▶Does the exported file keep its real size?
Yes, when the drawing declares a width and height in a unit such as millimetres or inches. A drawing sized only in pixels exports at its pixel size.
▶Can I open an SVG that contains embedded images?
Yes. Raster images embedded in the SVG as data are drawn in place. Images the SVG links by URL load when the address is reachable from your browser.
▶Is this SVG viewer really free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no watermarks, no file size limits on the viewer (the optional share-link feature has a 100 MB upload cap). Built by Innerscene as a tool for architects, engineers, and designers.
▶Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All parsing, rendering, and conversion runs in your browser: nothing is uploaded, stored, or transmitted by default. The Share button is the only feature that uploads a file, and only when you explicitly click it.
▶Can I convert to another format?
Yes. Click Export in the toolbar to save the drawing as DXF, DWG, PDF (a vector page), a self-contained HTML page, or a PNG or JPG image.
▶Can I embed this viewer on my own site?
Yes. Click Embed in the toolbar to generate a one-line <iframe> snippet you can paste into any HTML page. You can choose whether the embed shows the viewer’s toolbar.
