Validate raw SVG code before you commit an icon, inline a chart, or ship a vector asset inside a web app. Because SVG is XML, a single missing closing tag, malformed attribute, or broken entity can stop the graphic from rendering correctly. This validator checks the markup structure directly in your browser so you can catch problems early without sending the file to a server.
What this validator checks
The tool parses your SVG as XML and reports whether the document is structurally valid. That includes tag nesting, quoted attributes, closing elements, entity handling, and other syntax rules that browsers and build pipelines expect when they read SVG markup.
When to use it
Use it when:
- an exported SVG from Figma, Illustrator, or Inkscape does not render as expected
- an inline SVG icon breaks a React, Vue, or Next.js component
- a CMS or email template rejects pasted vector markup
- you want a quick pre-commit check before storing SVG assets in your repository
Limitations
This validator focuses on syntax and XML structure, not on visual design quality. A file can be structurally valid and still have layout problems, inaccessible color contrast, oversized paths, or unsupported filters in a specific rendering environment. It also does not sanitize or rewrite unsafe SVG content for production use.
Example
Paste an SVG snippet containing an unclosed <path> or a mismatched </g> tag. The validator will mark the document as invalid, helping you fix the markup before you embed the asset in a page or design system.
