What gets checked

SVG Repair Suggestions parses the document locally and validates it against structural rules and this tool's focus area, reporting each finding with enough context to locate it.

Common findings and fixes

Typical issues include missing viewBox attributes, duplicate IDs, unsafe active content, and deprecated structures. Most have a direct fix in the matching edit or optimize tools.

Severity and manual review

Parse errors and unsafe content are hard failures; style-level findings need judgment based on where the SVG ships. Automated checks complement, not replace, a visual review.

Privacy

Validation runs locally in your browser. Files are parsed in the page and never uploaded.

How to use

  1. Paste SVG. Paste the SVG you want to audit.
  2. Review suggestions. Read the practical repair checklist.
  3. Run follow-up tools. Use Cleaner, Namespace Normalizer, or Accessibility Checker as needed.
