Examples & Use Cases

SVG Vector Input

<svg width="20" height="20" fill="red">
  <rect width="20" height="20"/>
</svg>

CSS Background Output

.svg-background {
  background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg width='20' height='20' fill='red'%3E%3Crect width='20' height='20'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");
}

Embed Scale-Independent SVG Vectors Directly inside Stylesheets

HTTP requests for icons can slow server setup, while embedded SVG markup inside templates bloats DOM elements. Our utility escapes XML parameters and replaces raw hex hashtags client-side, letting developers wrap assets cleanly inside CSS classes.
