The frame below runs the same code as this page, in the reader's own browser. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is sent to you.

Pick a dark background and the text and panels follow it, so the frame stays readable on a dark page.

How it works

SVG XML is parsed into a document tree and rendered through vector geometry, paint, transforms, filters, and viewBox mapping. The viewport determines how the coordinate system scales into the displayed rectangle.

  • viewBox coordinates remain independent from display dimensions for resolution-independent scaling.

Input
											<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100" height="100" viewBox="0 0 100 100"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="#3498DB"/></svg>
										
Output
												<div style="background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px;text-align:center;">
  <div style="display:inline-block;background:white;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd;box-shadow:0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);">
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100" height="100" viewBox="0 0 100 100"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="#3498DB"></circle></svg>
  </div>
  <div style="margin-top:10px;font-family:monospace;font-size:12px;color:#666;text-align:left;max-width:400px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;">
    <div>Width: 100</div><div>Height: 100</div><div>ViewBox: 0 0 100 100</div>
    <div>Elements: circle(1)</div>
  </div>
</div>
											

When to use this

Icon previews, inline-asset checks, and QA reviews inspect SVG rendering.

Edge cases

  • An incorrect viewBox can clip or offset all geometry.
  • External stylesheets or images may not load in an isolated preview.
  • Scripts and external resources create security concerns beyond static rendering.
