Why Use URL-Encoded SVGs?

When embedding SVG icons or graphics directly into CSS using background-image, many developers default to Base64 encoding. However, Base64 increases the file size by approximately 33% and cannot be GZIP compressed as efficiently as raw text.

Our SVG to CSS Converter defaults to URL Encoding, which replaces characters like < with %3C and # with %23. This results in a smaller, more compressible CSS file, significantly improving your website’s performance and Core Web Vitals.

How to use

  1. Paste your code: Copy your raw <svg>...</svg> code and paste it into the input area. Alternatively, you can drag and drop a .svg file directly into the box.
  2. Select format: Choose between URL Encoded (recommended) or Base64.
  3. Copy the CSS: The optimized background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,..."); rule will be instantly generated. Click the copy button to use it in your stylesheet.
