## Overview

This SVG viewer renders vector graphics locally in your browser. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is the web standard for logos, icons, illustrations and diagrams, because it stays crisp at any zoom level. Pick a sample or choose your own .svg file to preview it instantly with no upload.

## When to use

- You received an SVG logo or icon and want to view it at full quality.
- You need to inspect an SVG illustration's shapes and structure before using it.
- You want a quick preview of an SVG diagram or chart without a design tool.

## How it works

- Select a built-in sample or choose your own .svg file.
- The viewer parses the SVG markup and renders it natively in the browser with no upload.
- Zoom and inspect the vector graphic, then switch samples or load another file any time.

## Use cases

### Can it open SVGs with embedded images or fonts?

Most SVG features are supported. Complex embedded resources may render with minor differences.
