Responsive SVG Layouts

Build SVGs that scale perfectly across all devices while maintaining vector crispness.

What is SVG Responsiveness?

SVGs naturally scale without loss of quality, but responsive layouts require careful design. Responsive SVGs adapt to screen size using: 

<svg width="100%" height="200" viewBox="0 0 400 200" preserveAspectRatio="none">
  <rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="url(#grad)" />
  <line x1="0" y1="0" x2="400" y2="200" stroke="indigo" stroke-width="2" />
  <defs>
    <linearGradient id="grad" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="100%" y2="0%">
      <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:indigo" />
      <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:purple" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>
</svg>

Advanced Techniques

ViewBox Magic

The viewBox defines how SVG scales: 

<svg viewBox="0 0 400 200">
  
                

                    
Preserve Aspect Ratio

                    

                        Control how SVG fills space:
                    
<svg preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet">
  
        

            
CSS-Driven Adapation

            

                

                    Use media queries for dynamic SVG styles:
                


@media (max-width: 640px) {
  svg {
    height: auto !important;
    width: 100%;
  }
}

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  svg {
    height: 400px;
  }
}

                Resize your browser to see the SVG adapt!
