SVG to Data URI

Create copy-ready data:image/svg+xml URIs for HTML, CSS, and single-file embeds. Encode SVG markup for browser-friendly use in inline assets and styles.

Browser-based SVG embed builder

Turn SVG markup into a copy-ready data URI.

Paste SVG code, upload a file or try the built-in sample. The tool is designed for HTML, CSS and single-file embeds where a complete data:image/svg+xml string is easier than managing a separate asset.

How It Works

SVG to Data URI is designed to turn SVG markup into a complete data:image/svg+xml URI for HTML, CSS and single-file embed workflows. The page keeps the conversion flow separate from SVG to Base64 so the final tool can focus on URL-encoded SVG, Base64 data URIs, CSS url() snippets and HTML img snippets without affecting other converters.

Use Cases

  • Creating a CSS background-image value from a small SVG icon
  • Embedding SVG directly inside HTML without a separate asset file
  • Preparing single-file demos, documentation examples or email template assets
  • Comparing an original SVG with the embedded result before copying it

FAQ

What is an SVG data URI?

An SVG data URI is a complete string that starts with data:image/svg+xml and contains the SVG directly inside the URL value. It can be pasted into HTML or CSS without referencing a separate SVG file.

Is a data URI different from raw Base64?

Yes. Raw Base64 is only the encoded payload. A data URI includes the media type and encoding prefix so browsers know how to use the embedded SVG.

Should SVG data URIs be URL-encoded or Base64 encoded?

Both can work. URL-encoded SVG is often more readable for CSS and HTML snippets, while Base64 can be convenient when you want a compact text payload format that mirrors other Base64 workflows.

Does this tool upload my SVG?

The intended implementation is browser-based, so pasted or uploaded SVG markup stays on your device while the data URI is generated locally.
