How to Use & FAQ

Getting started with the Animated Icon Generator, and common questions

The basic flow

  1. Click an icon in the gallery to select it
  2. Set the color, export size, speed and loop count in the panel on the left
  3. Download it as an animated SVG, a static SVG or a PNG

Cards in the gallery play three times when they scroll into view, then stop. Hover a card, or press “Play all”, to watch again.

Which format to pick

Format Animated Best for
Animated SVG Yes Sites where you can host files. Around 1KB and scales without losing quality
Static SVG No Design tools and print. Stays editable as a vector
PNG No Anywhere SVG is not available. The background is transparent

Embedding the animated SVG

Upload the file to your server and reference it from an img element. That is all it takes.

<img src="/assets/check-animated.svg" alt="" width="48" height="48">

The animation lives inside the file, so there is no extra CSS or JavaScript to add. It also animates when loaded through a CSS background-image.

Using it in WordPress

WordPress blocks SVG uploads by default. This is deliberate, because an SVG file can contain scripts. To allow it you need one of the following.

If you cannot change that setting, use the PNG instead (it does not animate).

License

Icons generated with this tool are free to use, for personal and commercial projects alike.

The only thing that is off limits is handing out or selling the icons as a product in their own right. Using them inside client work or your own service is completely fine.

FAQ

Can I change the icon color?

Yes. Use the icon color setting and the exported file picks it up. You can also open the downloaded SVG in a text editor and edit the stroke and color values.

Do the speed and loop settings apply to the downloaded file?

They do. Both are written into the CSS inside the animated SVG, so the icon behaves the same wherever you embed it. Cards in the gallery always stop after three plays regardless of the setting.

Can I change the stroke width?

Not from the tool, but you can edit stroke-width="2" in the downloaded SVG to adjust it.

Will more icons be added?

Yes, more are added over time, and they are covered by the same license.

I want CSS code rather than a file

This tool focuses on downloadable files. If you want code to copy and paste, try the CSS Animation Gallery or the CSS Hover Effects Gallery. That said, opening a downloaded animated SVG in a text editor shows you the @keyframes directly.
