#FAQ
How do I use SVG as a CSS background? ▾
Paste your SVG code into the input field and the tool will encode it as a data URI and generate a CSS rule with background-image, background-repeat, background-position, and background-size properties.
Is the data URI optimized? ▾
Yes, the SVG is encoded using URL-encoding rather than Base64, which produces smaller output. Whitespace is collapsed and special characters are properly escaped for use in CSS url() values.
