SVG Block

All required basic settings are available. It's better than "the icon block" in terms of big collection of icons already available in the library, insertion of custom SVG directly in the settings panel, and most important thing to handle any SVG as a section separator for making non-rectangular sections.

And it's also ADA compliance. So a perfect choice when we need to add svg icons on a site.

best block for adding svg


I was looking for a plugin that made it easier to embed SVG files directly, rather than linking them as an image. This plugin works great. The SVG browser has a bunch of pre-loaded icons, and automatically imports any SVG files you upload as well. The separator shape blocks are a nice touch I didn't even think of.



I'm definitely going to keep using this plugin on other sites. Highly recommended. Thank you for the great plugin!


Surprisingly good!


It does what it says, so... it is perfect


Amazing


Outputs SVGs inline and lets me set the size and fill colors.


Exactly what I needed

Display an SVG image as a block, which can be used for displaying images, icons, dividers, buttons
