Why Snapshot SVG Icons
A small change to a shared SVG path, viewBox, or CSS variable can silently distort many icons at once. Chromatic captures visual snapshots of your icon Storybook stories and flags any pixel-level change on each PR.
- Catches icon regressions from shared style changes
- Snapshots run automatically on every PR
- Flags pixel-level diffs for human review
Setting Up the Workflow
Point Chromatic at your existing icon gallery story so every icon is covered in one snapshot, then review and accept intentional changes directly in the Chromatic UI.
- Reuse your icon gallery story for full coverage
- Review diffs in the Chromatic UI before merging
- Accept intentional changes to update the baseline
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a separate story for every icon to use Chromatic?
No — a single grid/gallery story showing all icons gives Chromatic full visual coverage in one snapshot, simplifying review.
What kind of SVG bug does visual snapshot testing catch best?
It's especially good at catching shared-style regressions — a CSS variable or base path change that subtly distorts many icons at once, which is easy to miss in code review.
