SVG Downloader docs

Start here

What this is

SVG Downloader is a Chrome extension that finds the SVGs a web page contains — inline markup, <img> and <object> vectors, CSS background images and same-document sprite <use> references — and saves the original file. It runs entirely in your browser: no server, no account, no upload, no analytics. Free, MIT-licensed, currently v1.3.

These docs are deliberately small. If you just want it working, read Installation and Usage. If something looks wrong, the FAQ covers the usual suspects.

Quickstart

There is no Chrome Web Store listing yet. Once it's on the Chrome Web Store, install will be one click; until then, load it unpacked:

1. Download or clone the repository from github.com/Flozad/svg-downloader.
2. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome, Edge or Brave.
3. Enable Developer mode with the toggle in the top-right.
4. Click Load unpacked and select the extension folder from the repo.
5. Open any page with icons, click the SVG Downloader button, and save.

The full walkthrough — with the Edge and Brave notes — lives on the Installation page.

Prefer a task-first path?

The guides cover concrete jobs — downloading an SVG from any website, extracting a whole icon set, or bundling everything as a ZIP — while these docs describe the tool itself.
