How to Use SVG in Wix
Wix supports SVG through both its standard drag-and-drop editor and, for more control, its Velo custom code platform.

SVG in the Standard Wix Editor
Wix's standard editor accepts SVG uploads as image elements and includes a built-in vector art library for icons and shapes — dragged-in SVG elements support recoloring and basic styling directly through the editor's design panel, no code required for straightforward use cases.
- Standard editor accepts SVG image uploads directly
- Built-in vector art library provides ready-made icons and shapes
- Basic recoloring and styling work through the visual design panel
Advanced Control with Velo
For dynamic SVG behavior beyond what the standard editor supports — data-driven icon changes, programmatic SVG generation, custom animation logic — Wix's Velo platform provides full JavaScript access to manipulate SVG elements on the page, similar to custom code on a traditional website.
- Velo provides full JavaScript access for dynamic SVG behavior
- Suits data-driven icons and custom animation beyond editor capabilities
- Requires Velo's development mode, a more code-centric Wix workflow
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recolor an SVG icon without using Velo?
Yes — Wix's standard editor design panel supports basic recoloring of vector art library elements and many uploaded SVGs directly, without needing to enable Velo's code-based development mode.
When does a Wix site actually need Velo for SVG work?
When you need dynamic, data-driven, or programmatically generated SVG behavior that the visual editor's built-in options don't support — standard icon and logo use rarely requires stepping into Velo at all.
