Can it decode CSS background SVGs?

Yes. Copy the data:image/svg+xml value from the CSS url() and paste it into the tool.

Does it support Base64 data URIs?

Yes. data:image/svg+xml;base64 payloads are decoded as UTF-8 SVG.

Are data URIs uploaded?

No. Decoding runs in the browser.

Is Data URI to SVG free?

Yes. SVGKit tools are free to use with no account required.

Does Data URI to SVG upload my files?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device.

What input does Data URI to SVG accept?

The supported formats are listed on the input control above; the tool validates input and reports a clear error for anything it cannot parse.

Is the output production-ready?

Yes, the output is standards-based markup. Preview it at the sizes where it will ship before replacing a production asset.

Why does the output differ slightly from the input?

Formats support different features, and conversion preserves what the target format can represent. Differences concentrate in gradients, filters, and interactive features.

Page context

Where Data URI to SVG fits

Data URI to SVG decodes SVG data URIs back into readable SVG markup for inspection, editing, and reuse.

Supported inputs

The tool accepts data:image/svg+xml URIs with URL-encoded payloads or Base64 payloads.

Validation

Decoded output is parsed as SVG before it is shown, so malformed or non-SVG payloads report an inline error.

Conversion is a translation between formats: Data URI to SVG preserves what the target format can represent and previews it before export.

How the conversion works

Data URI to SVG parses the input in your browser, applies the target format's rules, and produces standards-based output without a server round-trip. The page shows the result before you commit to it.

What to expect from the output

Formats have different capabilities, so conversion is a translation rather than a perfect copy. Check dimensions, colors, and any interactive features in the preview, since those are the areas where formats differ most.

Getting the best results

Clean input produces clean output. Start from the simplest version of the source that still renders correctly, keep explicit dimensions or a viewBox, and test the result where it will actually ship.

Privacy

Conversion runs locally in your browser. Data URI to SVG never uploads your content to a server, which also makes it safe for confidential assets.

How to use

Paste data URI. Paste a data:image/svg+xml URI into the input.
Decode. The tool extracts and validates the SVG payload.
Copy SVG. Copy the decoded SVG markup from the output panel.
