How to Use SVG Icons in HTML

Learn the three main methods for implementing SVG icons in your web projects, including inline SVG, image tags, and CSS backgrounds. Understand the pros and cons of each approach.

Method 1: Inline SVG (Recommended)

The most flexible method is to include the SVG code directly in your HTML. This allows for full control over styling and animations.

<svg class="w-6 h-6 text-blue-500" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
  <path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" d="M5 13l4 4L19 7"></path>
</svg>

Method 2: As an Image

Simple to implement but with limited styling options. Good for static icons that don't need customization.

<img src="icon.svg" alt="Icon description" class="w-6 h-6">

Method 3: CSS Background

Useful for decorative elements where semantic meaning isn't important.

.icon {
  background-image: url('icon.svg');
  background-size: contain;
  width: 24px;
  height: 24px;
}

Customizing SVG Icon Colors with CSS

Master the art of dynamically changing SVG icon colors using CSS. Learn about fill, stroke, and currentColor properties.

Using the currentColor Property

The easiest way to make SVG icons inherit text color is using the currentColor value.

/* SVG with currentColor */
.icon { color: blue; }
.icon svg { fill: currentColor; }

Direct Fill and Stroke Properties

For more control, directly set fill and stroke properties in CSS.

.icon svg {
  fill: #3B82F6;
  stroke: #1E40AF;
  stroke-width: 2;
}

Hover Effects and Transitions

Add smooth color transitions for interactive elements.

.icon svg {
  fill: #6B7280;
  transition: fill 0.2s ease;
}

.icon:hover svg {
  fill: #3B82F6;
}

SVG Optimization for Web Performance

Learn advanced techniques for optimizing SVG files to improve loading times and overall web performance. Discover tools and best practices used by professionals.

Manual Optimization Techniques

Remove unnecessary elements and attributes from your SVG files to reduce file size.

  • Remove comments, metadata, and hidden elements
  • Simplify paths and remove redundant points
  • Use relative coordinates instead of absolute when possible
  • Combine similar elements and use groups effectively

Automated Optimization Tools

Use these tools to automatically optimize your SVG files:

  • SVGO: Command-line tool for SVG optimization
  • SVG OMG: Web-based GUI for SVGO
  • Adobe Illustrator: Built-in SVG export optimization
  • Sketch: SVG export with optimization options

Loading Strategies

Implement efficient loading strategies for better performance:

/* Lazy loading with Intersection Observer */
const icons = document.querySelectorAll('.lazy-icon');
const iconObserver = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
  entries.forEach(entry => {
    if (entry.isIntersecting) {
      loadIcon(entry.target);
    }
  });
});

SVG Icons in Popular Frameworks

Learn how to implement SVG icons in popular frameworks like React, Vue.js, and Angular. Understand framework-specific considerations and best practices.

React Implementation

In React, you can import SVG files as components or use them inline.

import IconCheck from './icons/check.svg';

function Button() {
  return (
    <button className="btn">
      <IconCheck className="w-4 h-4 mr-2" />
      Save
    </button>
  );
}

Vue.js Implementation

Vue.js offers several ways to work with SVG icons, including single file components.

<template>
  <button class="btn">
    <CheckIcon class="w-4 h-4 mr-2" />
    Save
  </button>
</template>

<script>
import CheckIcon from '@/components/icons/CheckIcon.vue';
</script>

Angular Implementation

Angular provides the Angular Material icon library and supports custom SVG icons.

// Register custom icon
constructor(private iconRegistry: MatIconRegistry) {
  this.iconRegistry.addSvgIcon(
    'custom-check',
    this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl('assets/check.svg')
  );
}

// Use in template
<mat-icon svgIcon="custom-check"></mat-icon>
