SVG to URL
Drop an SVG below and get a hosted link in a second — no signup, served as a real image file. Most free hosts refuse SVG entirely. Need permanent URLs? Keep any upload, free →

SVG is the format most free image hosts quietly refuse, because an SVG is not really a picture — it's an XML document, and one that can carry executable content. Drop yours above and this tool hosts it properly, with the safety problem handled rather than avoided.
Scripts are rejected, not silently kept
Every uploaded SVG is inspected before it's stored. If it contains executable content — a <script> element being the obvious case — the upload is refused with an explicit error rather than accepted and served.
That matters because a hosted SVG is served from a URL, and a scripted SVG opened directly in a browser runs that script. Hosts that accept any SVG without looking are handing out a way to serve active content from their domain. Hosts that ban SVG outright are avoiding the problem by removing the feature. Checking the file is the middle path, and it's why a clean SVG works here.
If your upload is rejected for this reason, the fix is to strip the scripting from the file — most SVGs that carry it picked it up from an export tool and don't need it to render.
Your SVG is hosted as-is
A clean SVG is stored and served byte-for-byte. No re-encoding, no rasterising to PNG, and no minification — the markup you upload is the markup that gets served, so it scales to any size without losing sharpness, exactly as an SVG should.
A note on the SVG format
SVG is vector, so one file renders crisply at every size — ideal for logos, icons, diagrams and charts. It's usually tiny compared with a raster export, and it's text, so it compresses well and stays diffable in version control.
Where it struggles is anything photographic, which is what JPG is for, and any context that won't accept SVG — some email clients and older tools still won't render it, where a PNG export is the safe fallback.
When you need a permanent URL
Links from this tool are temporary and disappear within 24 hours — fine for a quick share, not for a README badge or a production app. For URLs that stick around, PixelVault is an image hosting API: register once, upload with one call, get a permanent CDN URL with zero egress fees.
SVG to URL Converter — FAQ
Why do most image hosts refuse SVG?
Because an SVG is an XML document rather than a picture, and it can contain executable content. A scripted SVG served from a host's domain and opened directly in a browser will run that script, so many hosts avoid the problem by banning the format entirely.
Why was my SVG rejected?
Most likely because it contains executable content — a script element or similar. Every SVG is inspected before storage and refused with an explicit error if it carries scripting. Strip it and re-upload; most SVGs pick it up from an export tool and do not need it to render.
Is my SVG modified or minified?
No. A clean SVG is stored and served byte-for-byte — no re-encoding, no rasterising to PNG, no minification. The markup you upload is the markup that gets served.
Will the hosted SVG scale without blurring?
Yes. SVG is vector, so it renders crisply at any size, and because the file is served unmodified that property is fully preserved on the hosted URL.
Can I use the hosted SVG in a README?
Yes, though links from this free tool expire within 24 hours, so for a README use a permanent URL from the API instead. Note that GitHub sanitises SVGs rendered in Markdown, which is a separate restriction on their side, not on the hosted file.
How long does the SVG URL last?
Links from this free tool are removed within 24 hours. For a permanent CDN URL, register a free PixelVault account and upload via the API — those URLs do not expire.
