✨SVG to CSS Converter
Embedding icons as data URIs is a powerful technique for reducing HTTP requests and improving performance. This tool converts your SVG code into a URL-encoded string and wraps it in a CSS `background-image` declaration. This is often better than Base64 encoding for SVGs because the resulting code is more compact and can be more easily manipulated. It's the perfect way to create a library of lightweight, scalable, and CSS-controllable icons for your website.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this better than Base64 for SVGs?
URL-encoded SVGs are generally more efficient and produce shorter strings than their Base64 counterparts. More importantly, some browsers allow you to change the `fill` color of a URL-encoded SVG using CSS, which is not possible with Base64.
Can I also upload an SVG file?
This version of the tool is designed for pasting SVG code directly. You can open any SVG file in a text editor to copy its code and paste it here.
