What is SVG?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is the browser-native format for icons, logos and illustrations: XML code that stays sharp at every size and recolors with one attribute.

SVG in one minute

An SVG file is plain text. You can open it in a browser, a text editor or a design tool, read it like HTML and change colors, sizes and shapes with no quality loss. That is why interfaces, logos and buttons ship as vectors.

SVG Nexus catalogues open-source SVG icon libraries and illustrations so you can search, recolor and copy production-ready code straight into React, Vue, HTML, CSS or your favorite design tool. No account, no uploads.

Scales forever

Paths are math, not pixels: the same file stays crisp as a 16px favicon, a retina logo or a 4K slide graphic.

Recolors in one attribute

Change fill or stroke once and the whole mark follows. CSS keyframes and hover states work on inline SVG without any JavaScript.

Text stays tiny

Icons compress to kilobytes, ship efficiently with gzip from any server and stay readable by search engines and screen readers.

Copy SVG code for any stack

View All Tools

Every catalog page and every SVG upload opens in a browser tool that rewrites vector code for your framework: JSX, Vue, Svelte, CSS, data URIs, PNG exports and sprites.

Find SVG icons by subject

View All Categories

The catalog groups icons into themes such as transport, finance, medicine, weather and holidays. Open any subject to browse and copy matching vectors in seconds.

SVG or PNG?

Use SVG for icons and interface graphics that must scale and recolor; export PNG or WebP for photo-like detail, social previews or platforms that rasterize. The tools here output both from one source file.

Free for commercial use

Every icon row carries its source library and license. MIT, ISC and Apache-2.0 packs cover commercial products; brand logos follow their own rules, always on the license table.

SVG questions, answered

Is SVG better than PNG?

For icons, logos and UI art, yes: SVG scales, recolors and weighs less because it stores drawing instructions, not pixels. PNG remains useful for detailed bitmap exports.

How do I open and edit an SVG file?

Drag it into a browser, any text editor or a design tool. SVG Nexus Studio opens it in the browser so you can edit colors, layers and paths without installing anything.

Can I use the icons commercially?

The open-source libraries here ship under MIT, ISC, Apache-2.0 and similar licenses that allow commercial use. Every icon page names its exact license; brand logos carry extra rules.

Why does my SVG look blurry?

A blurry SVG usually means it was rasterized early or exported at the wrong viewport size. Keep it vector until the final render step, or re-export from the original file.

Start with an SVG asset

Search the catalog, open any asset in the browser studio and ship clean vector code: icons, logos, illustrations and the tools that reshape them.
