SVG Sprite Generator
Bundle all your SVG icons into one optimized sprite file.
SVG sprites
Combine SVG icons into a single symbol sprite.
Upload multiple .svg files or add icons manually, then generate one SVG sprite built from <symbol> elements. The tool creates safe, unique symbol IDs, preserves each icon's viewBox, and rewrites internal gradient, filter, mask and clipPath IDs so they never collide. You get the sprite markup, ready-to-paste <use> examples and a copy/download. Everything runs locally; your files are not uploaded and the output stays editable SVG.
SVG icons
Each icon becomes a <symbol>. Give it a name (used for the symbol ID) and paste its SVG markup. The markup is never changed in place.
Please add at least one valid SVG icon and try again.

Symbols
Usage examples
Include the sprite SVG once in your page, then reference any symbol with <use>. The sprite must be present in the DOM before the <use> references.

How It Works
SVG Sprite Generator combines multiple SVG icons into a single sprite built from <symbol> elements, entirely in your browser. Upload several .svg files or add icons manually, give each a name, then click Generate Sprite. For every icon the tool creates a <symbol> with a safe, unique ID (derived from the name and your chosen prefix), preserves the icon's viewBox, and moves its content into the symbol. Crucially, it rewrites each icon's internal IDs — gradients, filters, masks, clipPaths and their url(#id), href and ARIA references — by prefixing them with the symbol ID, so icons bundled together never collide. The result is a ready-to-use sprite, a list of symbols with previews, and copy-and-paste <use> examples. SVGTrim creates SVG sprites locally in your browser; your SVG files are not uploaded, and the output remains editable SVG markup.
Use Cases
- Bundling an icon set into one sprite so a page makes a single request instead of many
- Turning individually exported icons from a design tool into a reusable <symbol> sprite
- Combining icons that each use their own gradient or filter IDs without breaking them
- Producing a self-contained sprite.svg you can inline in HTML and reference with <use>
- Standardising icon IDs across a project with a consistent prefix like icon-
FAQ
What is an SVG sprite?
An SVG sprite is a single SVG file that holds many icons as <symbol> elements. Instead of loading each icon separately, you include the sprite once and reference any icon by its ID with <use href="#icon-id">. It reduces requests and makes an icon set easy to reuse.
How do <symbol> and <use> work?
A <symbol> defines reusable graphic content with its own viewBox but does not render on its own. A <use> element then renders a symbol wherever you place it, referencing it by ID. You can size each <use> independently, so one symbol can appear at many sizes.
Can I combine multiple SVG icons?
Yes — that is exactly what this tool does. Upload multiple .svg files or add icons manually, and each one becomes a <symbol> in the generated sprite, up to 50 icons per sprite in this browser-based tool.
How are ID collisions handled?
Each icon's internal IDs (gradients, filters, masks, clipPaths and similar) are prefixed with that icon's symbol ID, and every url(#id), href and ARIA reference is updated to match. Duplicate icon names are also resolved automatically by appending a number, so the combined sprite has no clashing IDs.
Are my SVG files sent to an external service?
No. SVGTrim creates SVG sprites locally in your browser. Your SVG files are not uploaded, and the output remains editable SVG markup. There is no API call, no AI involved and no external service involved in generating the sprite.
