About Blank SVG
An empty SVG with the right width, height and viewBox is a handy starting point for icons, logos and illustrations in code or in editors such as Inkscape, Illustrator and Figma. It's also useful as a lightweight placeholder that scales to any size without blurring, or as a test file for upload fields that accept vector images. Choose the canvas size, keep the background transparent or fill it with a colour, and download a tidy, standards-compliant file of under 200 bytes.

Questions
What does the file contain?
A single svg element with width, height, viewBox and the SVG namespace, plus a rectangle if you chose a background colour.
Why does the viewBox matter?
It defines the drawing's coordinate system, so the SVG scales correctly when resized.
Can I convert it to PNG?
Yes. Change the format to PNG on this page, or use an editor to export it.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The SVG is generated in your browser.
