Tool guide

Free Online SVG Viewer

Open and preview an SVG file directly in your browser without installing design software. Formatza validates and sanitizes the uploaded vector markup, shows its resolved dimensions, and renders a browser preview for quick inspection.

Steps

How it works

  • Choose one .svg file from your device.
  • The viewer validates the SVG markup and removes unsupported active content.
  • Review the rendered vector preview, file size, and resolved dimensions.
  • Clear or change the file when you are finished inspecting it.

Highlights

Key features

  • Opens one SVG file through a simple browser-based viewer.
  • Displays the sanitized vector artwork without converting it to a raster format.
  • Reports the source file size and dimensions resolved from width, height, or viewBox values.
  • Removes script, foreignObject, event-handler, and JavaScript URL content before previewing.
  • Keeps vector scaling for supported SVG artwork in the browser preview.

Use cases

Common uses

  • Check an SVG icon or logo without opening a design application.
  • Preview a downloaded vector file before adding it to a project.
  • Confirm an SVG's dimensions and basic browser rendering.
  • Inspect whether simple artwork remains recognizable after safety sanitization.

Notes

Limitations to know

  • The viewer accepts an uploaded SVG file; it does not currently provide a pasted-markup editor.
  • Viewing does not optimize, format, edit, copy, or download a modified SVG.
  • Scripts and foreignObject elements are removed, so script-driven SVG behavior will not run.
  • Remote images, external fonts, linked styles, complex filters, and other resources may render differently or fail to load.
  • Declarative animation support depends on the browser and the sanitized markup and is not guaranteed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
Can I open an SVG without design software?

Yes. Choose an SVG file and Formatza renders a sanitized preview using your browser.

Can I paste SVG code into the viewer?

No. The current SVG Viewer accepts a local .svg file rather than pasted markup.

Does viewing change my original SVG file?

No. The original file remains unchanged. The browser creates a sanitized preview copy in memory.

Why do fonts or linked images look different?

The SVG may rely on fonts or remote resources that are unavailable to the local browser preview.

Are SVG scripts executed?

No. Script elements, foreignObject content, event-handler attributes, and JavaScript URLs are removed before previewing.
