Tutorials
Developer-focused, step-by-step guides for building, cleaning, theming, and shipping SVG icons with IconVectors. They are written for developers, UI engineers, and technical designers who want production-ready icons and clean, exportable code rather than illustration-tool workflows. Browse by task below, or search across every tutorial.
Start by workflow
- Clean up AI-generated SVG icons before they reach your app.
- Analyze and clean up SVG icons before export.
- Set up MCP automation with Codex CLI, Claude, VS Code Copilot, or Cursor.
- Choose a developer export use case for React, Vue, XAML, C++, or native SVG.
Conversions & Export
-

-
Convert SVG to BMP
Export BMPs from SVG icons, choosing 24BPP flat or 32BPP alpha transparency at the sizes you need.
-
Convert SVG to Android VectorDrawable
Prepare a clean SVG and import it with Vector Asset Studio, avoiding the SVG features VectorDrawable drops.

-
Safari Pinned Tab Mask Icon
Prepare a pure-black SVG and add rel=mask-icon with your brand color for a crisp pinned tab in Safari.
-
Minify and Optimize SVG Icons
One-click minified export plus a safe SVGO setup that keeps the viewBox and ships tiny, themeable SVGs.
Frameworks & Web
-
Import SVG as React Components (Vite SVGR)
Set up vite-plugin-svgr to import SVGs as typed React components, avoiding the default-export and viewBox pitfalls.
-
Vue 3 SVG Icons with Vite
Install vite-svg-loader, import an SVG as a Vue component, and theme it with currentColor.
-
Build an SVG Sprite from Icons
Assemble a cacheable sprite with the svg-sprite CLI and reference icons with use, themeable via currentColor.
-
Build an SVG Sprite for Vite, React & Vue
Generate a symbol sprite through a Vite plugin or the svg-sprite CLI, with production caching notes.
-
How to Use SVG Icons in Web Applications
Compare inline SVG, external files, and sprites, then create and optimize clean web-ready icons.
-
SVG Icons in C++ Native Apps (WinUI, Qt)
Render SVGs in C++ with WinUI, Qt, and the Windows API using LunaSVG, starting from IconVectors exports.
-
SVG Icons in C++ with NanoSVG
Import and render SVGs with NanoSVG: Windows HBITMAP, cross-platform PNG export, and wxWidgets display.
-
SVG Icons in C++ with LunaSVG
Import and render SVGs with LunaSVG: Windows HBITMAP, cross-platform PNG export, and wxWidgets display.
-
SVG Icons in wxWidgets C++
Load SVG with wxBitmapBundle::FromSVG, convert to wxBitmap, and draw, starting from IconVectors SVGs.
-
React SVG Icons (use case)
The React pillar: choose between inline SVG, SVGR components, and sprites across DX, size, theming, and accessibility.
-
Vue SVG Icons (use case)
Create Vue single-file icon components with typed props and attribute fallthrough, themed with CSS.
-
XAML SVG Icons (use case)
Export Path data for WPF and WinUI with themeable brushes, Foreground binding, and resource dictionaries.
-
Native SVG Icons (use case)
Ship platform-native SVG on the web and desktop, from inline and sprite markup to C++, Electron, and XAML.
-
Minified SVG Icons (use case)
Trim bytes while keeping visuals identical, ideal for large sets, inline SVG, and symbol sprites.
-
C++ SVG Icons (use case)
Render SVG with WinUI/Win2D or Qt QSvgRenderer, package icons as resources, and recolor at runtime.
AI-assisted workflows
-
Generate Clean SVG Icons with AI
Use AI through IconVectors MCP to draw an icon in the live editor, then retouch paths and export clean assets.
-
How Developers Generate SVG Icons with AI
Generate an icon with AI, then clean path complexity, normalize geometry, and export production-ready SVG.
-
Create an Info Icon with Codex CLI
Follow the exact MCP prompt to reproduce an info icon end to end through Codex CLI.
-
Using IconVectors with Codex CLI
Configure Codex CLI on Windows, macOS, or Linux and drive the live editor from prompts.

Fundamentals & Accessibility
-
SVG Properties: Size and viewBox
Walk the SVG Properties dialog and learn why width and height are not the viewBox, and how each affects scaling.
