SVG Viewer & Code Inspector

Upload any SVG to view it and explore its code structure. Click on elements in the visual to see their corresponding code, perfect for debugging or learning SVG.

SVG Viewer & Inspector

Upload an SVG file to view and inspect its internal structure

How it works

Choose between pasting SVG code directly or entering a URL to an SVG file. The tool parses the SVG and builds an interactive tree view of all elements.

The element tree shows the hierarchical structure - svg at the root, containing groups, shapes, paths, and other elements. Click any element in the tree to select it.

Tree view features:

  • Element tags: Shows element type (path, circle, rect, etc.)
  • Attribute preview: Displays key attributes inline
  • Child count: Shows how many children each element has
  • Clickable selection: Click to inspect element details

Selected elements display their full attribute list in the details panel. See all fill, stroke, transform, and other properties. Perfect for debugging and learning SVG structure.

When You'd Actually Use This

Debugging broken SVG graphics

SVG not rendering correctly? Inspect the element tree to find missing elements, wrong attributes, or structure issues. Identify problems quickly.

Learning SVG structure

New to SVG? Explore how complex graphics are built. See how designers nest groups, structure paths, and organize elements. Learn by example.

Understanding exported files

Design tools export complex SVG. Inspect what Figma, Illustrator, or Sketch generated. Understand the structure before editing or optimizing.

Finding specific elements

Need to change one color in a complex SVG? Navigate the tree to find the exact element. See its attributes and understand its role.

Auditing SVG accessibility

Check for title and desc elements. Verify proper structure for screen readers. Ensure your SVGs are accessible to all users.

Preparing SVG for animation

Understand element hierarchy before animating. Identify which elements to target. Plan your animation structure based on the SVG organization.

What to Know Before Using

Tree shows structure, not styling.CSS classes and external stylesheets aren't fully represented. Inline styles and attributes are shown. Computed styles require browser dev tools.

Large SVGs may load slowly.Complex SVGs with thousands of elements take time to parse. Allow a moment for tree generation. Very large files may timeout.

URL loading requires CORS.Loading SVG from URL requires the server to allow cross-origin requests. Local files and same-origin URLs work best.

Preview may differ from browser rendering.Some SVG features (filters, blend modes) may not render identically. Use this for structure inspection, not visual fidelity testing.

Pro tip: Use browser DevTools for complete SVG debugging. This tool is great for structure overview, but DevTools shows computed styles and live editing.

Common Questions

Can I edit elements in the tree?

This is a viewer/inspector, not an editor. Use the information to edit your source SVG file. For live editing, use browser DevTools.

Why don't all attributes show?

The preview shows first few attributes for brevity. Click the element to see all attributes in the details panel.

Can I search for specific elements?

Current version doesn't have search. Scroll through the tree or use browser find (Ctrl+F) to locate specific tags.

Does this work with external references?

External images and references may not load due to CORS. Inline SVG content works best. External stylesheets aren't processed.

Can I copy element code?

The details panel shows attributes. For full element code, use your source file or browser DevTools element inspector.

What SVG versions are supported?

SVG 1.1 and SVG 2 features are parsed. Some very new features may not display correctly. Standard SVG elements work reliably.

How is this different from browser DevTools?

This provides a focused SVG-only view with cleaner presentation. DevTools shows everything mixed with HTML. Use both for complete debugging.
