How to Use SVG for Illustrations and Icons on Webflow for SEO

Using SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) for illustrations and icons is important for maintaining high-quality visuals while minimizing file size. SVGs are vector-based, meaning they can scale to any size without losing quality, and they are often smaller in file size compared to other formats

How to do it on Webflow

  • Create or download SVGs: Design your illustrations and icons in vector-based software like Adobe Illustrator - Figma, or download SVGs from reliable sources.
  • Embed or upload in Webflow: Directly upload SVGs into your Webflow project like any other picture.
  • You can also copy/paste SVG icons from libraries like Relume.
