Resize SVG — dimensions & viewBox playbook
Fix awkward SVG exports by inspecting width, height and viewBox, then rewriting dimensions with predictable responsive scaling.

Developer notes

• Uses existing viewBox first to preserve aspect ratio. • When viewBox is missing, it can infer one from current dimensions. • Best suited to normal exports with numeric width/height values. • Pair with validate-svg if you also want title/desc guidance.

When teams pick this route

• Fix SVGs that scale oddly in responsive layouts. • Normalize oversized design exports before shipping. • Add viewBox to old assets that only declare width/height. • Generate a smaller inline badge without re-exporting from Figma.

Worked examples

Export with fixed dimensions only

Sample input

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="480" height="144" class="promo-badge"> <rect width="480" height="144" rx="36" fill="#f97316"/> <text x="76" y="84" font-size="36" font-weight="700" fill="#fff">FastMinify</text> </svg>

Output

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="240" height="72" class="promo-badge" viewBox="0 0 480 144"><rect width="480" height="144" rx="36" fill="#f97316"/><text x="76" y="84" font-size="36" font-weight="700" fill="#fff">FastMinify</text></svg>

Preserve the ratio from viewBox

Sample input

<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="24" height="24"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"/></svg>

Output

Set width only and keep aspect-ratio mode enabled to infer the matching height automatically.

Resize SVG FAQ

Dimensions and responsive scaling

Why does viewBox matter?

It defines the internal coordinate system that lets SVG scale predictably in responsive layouts.

Can it infer missing dimensions?

It can infer a missing width or height when a valid ratio already exists.

Will it fix every broken export?

It handles common width/height/viewBox cases, but unusual transforms may still need manual review.
