Classic Heart Shape in SVG Code

You can create or fine-tune a heart shape directly in SVG using cubic bezier paths.

  • Standard heart path: <path d='M12,21.593c-5.63-5.539-11-10.297-11-14.402c0-3.791,3.068-5.191,5.281-5.191c1.312,0,4.151,1.018,5.719,4.955c1.567-3.938,4.406-4.955,5.719-4.955c2.213,0,5.281,1.4,5.281,5.191c0,4.105,-5.370,8.863,-11,14.402z'>
  • Adjust control points to make the heart rounder or more angular
  • Scale with viewBox — no width/height hardcoding needed
  • Fill with gradient: red-to-pink linear gradient for classic look

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make an animated beating heart in SVG?

Use CSS keyframe animation: @keyframes beat { 0%,100% {transform:scale(1)} 50% {transform:scale(1.15)} } applied to the heart SVG. Set animation-timing-function: ease-in-out for organic motion.

Can I cut a heart shape from vinyl with Cricut using an SVG?

Yes. Upload the heart SVG to Cricut Design Space as a cut file. It reads the vector outline and cuts a perfect heart shape from any vinyl, paper, or fabric.

How do I create a heart-shaped photo frame in SVG?

Create a heart shape in Inkscape or Illustrator, then apply a clipPath using the heart to mask a rectangle image. The image shows through only within the heart boundary.

What's the easiest way to create a heart border/outline SVG?

Set fill='none' and stroke='red' stroke-width='2' on the heart path. This gives a clean heart outline without a fill, perfect for outline-style designs.
