Frequently Asked Questions

Why use SVG in CSS instead of an SVG file?

Inline SVG in CSS reduces HTTP requests and allows for easier dynamic styling and manipulation.

Can I change the SVG colors in CSS?

Yes! You can edit the generated CSS code to change fill and stroke colors directly in the SVG data URI.

Is there a size limit?

While there's no hard limit, keep SVGs small for better performance. Complex SVGs may result in very long CSS strings.
