Frequently Asked Questions
Why embed SVGs in CSS?
Embedding SVGs as CSS data URIs eliminates HTTP requests for small icons and decorative elements, improving page load performance.
Should I Base64 encode or URL encode SVGs?
URL encoding is recommended for SVGs in CSS. It produces smaller output than Base64 and keeps the SVG partially readable.
What is the size limit for inline SVGs?
There is no hard limit, but inline SVGs larger than 10KB can bloat your CSS. For larger SVGs, use external files with proper caching headers instead.
