Elementor vs Divi for SVG

Compare SVG upload handling, icon widgets, and styling options between Elementor and Divi for WordPress site building.

SVG Upload and Security Handling

Both Elementor and Divi work within WordPress's default SVG upload restriction, requiring a security plugin to enable SVG in the Media Library. Once enabled, both builders' Image widgets display SVG correctly, though neither offers deep path-level editing within the builder interface itself.

Neither offers native path-level SVG editing inside the builder

Icon Widget Differences

Elementor's dedicated Icon widget includes built-in icon libraries with color and hover-state controls, while Divi's icon module offers similar functionality with its own icon set, both providing simpler SVG icon usage than manually uploading custom icon files for basic use cases.

Elementor Icon widget: large built-in library, color/hover controls
Divi icon module: comparable functionality, different icon set
Custom SVG icons in either still require the upload-enabling plugin

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use custom SVG icons in either Elementor or Divi without coding?

Yes — both support custom SVG icon uploads through their Image or Icon widgets once SVG uploads are enabled via a security plugin, no coding required for basic placement.

Does either builder support animating individual SVG paths?

Neither offers built-in path-level animation tools natively; both require custom code (via their respective code/HTML widgets) for path-specific SVG animation effects.
