Question 1

Is my SVG code or file sent to any server?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a 100% frontend tool. All SVG optimization, code cleaning, color extraction, and JSX conversion happen locally in your browser. Your design assets and data never leave your computer.

Question 2

What does the React JSX converter do? Why do frontend developers need it?

Accepted Answer

When frontend developers paste standard HTML SVG into React or Next.js components, they encounter syntax errors because React requires camelCase properties. Our converter automatically transforms kebab-case attributes (like stroke-width, fill-rule) to camelCase (strokeWidth, fillRule), and converts class to className, so you can paste it directly without manual debugging.

Question 3

What is currentColor and why should I replace SVG colors with it?

Accepted Answer

currentColor is a powerful CSS keyword that tells the SVG to inherit the font color of its parent element. Designer-exported SVGs often have hardcoded fill or stroke colors (e.g., #000000), making them impossible to dynamically style via CSS (like on hover or in dark mode). By replacing hardcoded colors with currentColor, you can effortlessly control the SVG color using Tailwind classes like text-blue-500.

Question 4

What does your SVG compression (SVGO) do?

Accepted Answer

Under the hood, we use SVGO, the industry-standard SVG optimizer. It safely removes redundant metadata exported by design tools (Figma, Sketch, Illustrator), strips hidden layers, removes empty groups, and minifies coordinate path data. This typically reduces the file size by 30% to 70% without any loss in visual quality, speeding up your website's load time.

Question 5

Why did my color replacement fail, or why does the preview look broken?

Accepted Answer

There are a few common reasons: 1. The SVG uses inline `` tags with classes (e.g., `.cls-1{fill:#ff0000;}`) instead of direct attributes; 2. The color is part of a complex `` which isn't targeted by the basic replacement algorithm; 3. The graphic relies on complex `mask` properties that complicate color extraction. Solution: We highly recommend returning to your design software (like Figma or Illustrator), executing "Outline Stroke", flattening nested layers, and ensuring the graphic is exported as basic solid-fill paths before processing.
