SVG Generators
Free, instant, browser-based tools to generate SVG assets from parameters — no design tools required.
Not every SVG needs to be drawn. Placeholder images, QR codes, and icon sprite sheets are all deterministic — given the right parameters, the same output appears every time. Generating them programmatically is faster, more consistent, and more maintainable than drawing them by hand.
The SVG Placeholder Generator creates gray-box placeholders at any dimension with optional labels — the kind used in wireframes and component previews. The SVG QR Code Generator encodes any URL or text as a fully scalable QR code with configurable colors and error correction. The SVG Sprite Packer assembles multiple icon SVGs into a single sprite file, reducing HTTP requests and keeping your icons in one maintainable place.
All generation happens client-side. No files are uploaded; no API calls are made after page load. The tools work offline once the page is cached.

SVG Placeholder Generator
Generate placeholder images at any size — set dimensions, colors, and a label, then copy as SVG, HTML, or CSS.
Open tool →SVG Sprite Packer
Combine multiple SVG icons into a single sprite with <symbol> elements and <use> snippets — paste SVGs one at a time, get a ready-to-paste sprite SVG.
Open tool →SVG QR Code Generator
Generate a QR code as pure, scalable SVG — pick foreground and background colors, error correction level, and quiet zone. Copy the markup or download the file.

Why generate placeholder images in SVG instead of using a service like placehold.co?+
SVG placeholders are self-contained — they embed directly in your HTML or CSS as inline markup or a data URI, with no external request needed. They render at any size without pixelation, load instantly, and work offline. For design mockups, component previews, and development environments, an SVG placeholder is faster and more reliable than a third-party image service.
What is the advantage of SVG QR codes over PNG QR codes?+
SVG QR codes are resolution-independent — they look crisp at any size from a tiny thumbnail to a billboard, with no blurring or pixelation. They are smaller in file size than high-resolution PNGs, can be styled with CSS, and embed inline in HTML. For print, signage, and Retina displays, SVG is the superior format.
What is an SVG sprite and why use one?+
An SVG sprite bundles multiple icons into a single SVG file using <symbol> elements, each with a unique id. Pages reference individual icons with <use href="#icon-id"> instead of loading separate SVG files. This reduces HTTP requests, allows a single cache entry for all icons, and keeps icons manageable in one place. The SVG Sprite Packer automates the assembly.
Do these generators work without an internet connection?+
Yes. After the page loads, all generation — placeholder SVG construction, QR code matrix calculation, sprite assembly — runs in your browser with no further network requests. The QR code generator uses a pure-JavaScript QR encoding library bundled into the page.
