SVG workspace · browser local

View and inspect an SVG

Choose an SVG up to 2 MiB to view a sanitised local preview and inspect its source size. Scripts, event handlers, and external image references are removed before preview, and element, attribute, and nesting-depth budgets bound preview complexity.

What this workspace does

A safer local SVG preview.

Use it accurately

The viewer is for inspection, not a complete SVG editor. Review the original source when exact rendering semantics matter.

Private browser processing

Selected files are processed in the current browser session. Aftermath has no account, cloud file storage, or server-side file-processing job.

What this tool checks

Open an SVG locally to inspect a sanitized preview, source size, and the content this browser can safely display. The viewer does not execute active SVG content and does not promise that fonts, scripts, or rendering will match every destination. Use the resulting preview as a local review aid before relying on the asset elsewhere.

What to choose and what you get

What to choose

  • one SVG file up to the route's displayed size and complexity limits

Result

  • a sanitized local SVG preview and source-size report

Supported formats

  • Accepted formats: SVG.
  • Output formats: HTML report, on-page SVG.

Browser support and permissions

  • Modern browser with JavaScript, DOMParser, SVG rendering, and the route's displayed element, attribute, and nesting limits.
  • No camera, microphone, or screen permission is needed.

Worked example

An unfamiliar SVG needs a safe local preview before its shapes are reused in another document.

Starting facts

  • The file may contain scripts, event handlers or external references.
  • The original SVG must remain unchanged.

Observed operation: Parse the source under the route limits, remove active and request-capable content, and render only the sanitized local preview.

Review the result: Compare the preview with the expected artwork and review the reported source size before choosing an export or cleanup action.

Boundary: A sanitized preview does not guarantee identical rendering in every SVG engine, font environment or downstream application.

Choose another tool when

  • Choose another route when the task needs a format other than SVG preview, cleanup, or PNG export.

Check your result

  • The viewer is for inspection, not a complete SVG editor. Review the original source when exact rendering semantics matter.

Things to know

  • Review the result on the intended device before relying on it.

Privacy boundary

The selected SVG stays in the current browser session and is not sent to an Aftermath processing service. How local processing is verified.

What this tool verifies

Checks the displayed limits and reports or creates a sanitized local SVG preview and source-size report from one SVG file up to the route's displayed size and complexity limits.

Check before sharing

A sanitized preview or export does not prove that every renderer, font, script, or destination will treat the SVG identically.
