Frequently Asked Questions
Are SVG backgrounds responsive?
Yes. SVG backgrounds scale infinitely with background-size: cover or contain. Unlike PNG backgrounds, they look sharp at any viewport size or device pixel ratio.
How do I make an SVG wave divider?
Use Haikei.app — select a wave shape, customize colors and amplitude, download SVG. Or code manually using SVG <path> with bezier curves connecting horizontally.
Can I animate SVG backgrounds?
Yes. Apply CSS animations to SVG path d attributes (Chrome), or use JavaScript to update path data for morphing backgrounds. Or animate transform on SVG groups for scrolling/panning effects.
Should I use SVG or CSS gradients for backgrounds?
CSS gradients for simple linear/radial gradients — simpler and no HTTP request. SVG for complex shapes, waves, patterns, and anything a CSS gradient can't do.
How do I make an SVG blob shape for a background?
Use blobmaker.app to generate random organic blob paths. Download the SVG, customize the fill color, and use as background-image or an absolutely positioned element behind content.
