SVG Element Inspector

Inspect paths, groups, gradients, masks and structural SVG details instantly.

SVG element inspection

Inspect SVG elements, attributes and structure.

Paste SVG markup, upload a file or try the built-in sample, then inspect it to see every element by type, depth, id, class, attributes, inline style and transform. Click any element in the list to read its full detail. This tool never modifies your SVG — it only reports. Everything runs locally; your file is not uploaded.

How It Works

SVG Element Inspector reads the structure of an SVG document entirely in your browser. Paste SVG markup, upload an .svg file or try the built-in sample, then click Inspect Elements. The tool parses the SVG and reports every element: an overview of totals (visible elements, groups, paths, shapes, text, images, defs and resources, plus how many elements carry an id, class, inline style or transform), a per-tag breakdown of element type counts, and a scrollable element list showing each element's index, tag, depth, id, class and important attributes. Click any element in the list to open a detail panel with its full parent path, every attribute in a table, its inline style declarations, its transform functions, its child count and a text preview. It also reports basic safety signals — scripts, event handlers, foreignObject and external or data-URL references. Unlike the Edit and Optimize tools, this inspector never changes your SVG — it only reports what is there, leaving every id, class, url and attribute value exactly as written. SVGTrim inspects SVG elements locally in your browser. Your SVG file is not uploaded, and the tool does not modify the original markup.

Use Cases

  • Understanding an unfamiliar SVG by browsing its element tree, depths and ids before editing it
  • Counting paths, groups, shapes, text and resources to gauge how complex an icon or illustration is
  • Reading the exact attributes and inline styles on a specific element while debugging rendering issues
  • Finding which elements carry ids, classes or transforms so you can target them in CSS or scripts
  • Reviewing an SVG for scripts, event handlers, foreignObject and external references before embedding it

FAQ

What is an SVG element inspector?

It is a read-only tool that parses an SVG and lists every element with its tag, depth, id, class, attributes, inline style and transform. It is like a browser dev-tools element panel focused on SVG, but it runs entirely in your browser and never changes the file.

Can I see how many paths and groups an SVG has?

Yes. The overview cards and the element type counts show totals for paths, groups, shapes, text, images, defs and resources, and the full per-tag breakdown, so you can quickly judge the structure and complexity of any SVG.

Can I inspect attribute and style information?

Yes. Click an element in the list and the detail panel shows its complete attribute table, its parsed inline style declarations (fill, stroke, opacity and more), its transform functions and its parent path within the document.

Does this tool change my SVG file?

No. SVG Element Inspector is strictly read-only. It parses and reports the markup but never rewrites ids, classes, urls, attributes or any other part of your SVG, and it produces no output file.

Is my SVG file sent to an external service?

No. SVGTrim inspects SVG elements locally in your browser. Your SVG file is not uploaded, and the tool does not modify the original markup. There is no API call, no AI involved and no external service involved in the analysis.
