SVG badge generation

Create clean, customizable SVG status badges.

Build GitHub-style SVG badges for build status, versions, licenses, releases, coverage and documentation, then copy or download crisp, editable SVG for your README and docs. Badges are generated entirely in your browser — your content is never uploaded and no external assets, fonts or APIs are used.

How It Works

SVG Badge Generator creates clean, GitHub-style status badges entirely in your browser. Unlike the Edit and Manipulate tools, it does not take an existing SVG as input — instead it builds brand new SVG markup from the label, value and styling you choose. Type a left label (such as build, version or license), a right value (such as passing, v1.2.3 or MIT) and an optional icon character, pick a style (Flat, Rounded or Pill), a size (Small, Medium or Large) and the left background, right background and text colors, then click Generate Badge. The tool measures an approximate width from the text, lays out two colored sections with rounded corners using a clip path, and draws the label and value as native SVG text — no embedded images, no web fonts, no scripts and no external services. The badge is a real, editable vector you can paste directly into a README, documentation page or website, and because it is SVG it stays crisp at any size and on any display. Everything runs locally; your badge content is never uploaded.

Use Cases

  • Adding build, test and coverage status badges to a project README so contributors can see the project state at a glance
  • Creating version and release badges such as v1.2.3 or stable for documentation, changelogs and package pages
  • Generating license badges like MIT, Apache-2.0 or GPL for open-source repositories
  • Building custom labeled badges for docs, downloads, chat, sponsors or any status you want to highlight, in your own brand colors
  • Producing crisp SVG badges for high-resolution displays and print where a raster PNG badge would look blurry

FAQ

What is an SVG badge?

An SVG badge is a small, self-contained vector graphic that shows a label and a value — for example build / passing or license / MIT. It is the same kind of badge you see at the top of GitHub READMEs. Because it is SVG, it is made of text and shapes rather than pixels, so it stays sharp at any size and is tiny in file size.

Can I use the badge in a GitHub README?

Yes. The output is a standard, self-contained SVG with no external references, so you can commit the .svg file to your repository and embed it in your README with an image tag or Markdown image syntax, or paste the markup directly where inline SVG is supported. It renders the same anywhere because nothing is loaded from outside the file.

Can I change the badge colors?

Yes. You control the left background, right background and text colors independently with color pickers and hex inputs. If you enter an invalid hex value the tool shows a friendly message and does not generate a broken badge, so you can correct it and try again.

Is the generated SVG sent to an external service?

No. SVGTrim creates SVG badges locally in your browser. Your badge content is not uploaded, and the output remains editable SVG markup. There is no API call, no AI involved and no external asset, font or image referenced by the generated badge.

What is the advantage of an SVG badge over a PNG?

An SVG badge is resolution-independent, so it looks crisp on retina and high-density displays and when scaled, while a PNG becomes blurry or pixelated. SVG badges are also usually much smaller in file size, are editable as plain text, and contain selectable, accessible text with an aria-label, which a flat PNG image cannot provide. Generated SVG badges are deterministic from the selected settings, so you can copy, edit, and reuse the markup in your own projects.
