SVG Gobbler

What Is SVG Gobbler?

SVG Gobbler is a free browser extension in the design-tools category that enables users to find and download vector content from websites. It operates within Chromium-based browsers like Chrome and Edge, as well as Firefox, by scanning pages for SVG elements, including those restricted by CORS or embedded inline. Designers and developers use SVG Gobbler during asset collection phases of projects to extract scalable vector graphics (SVGs) efficiently without manual inspection of page source code.

What SVG Gobbler Does

• Locates SVG content on any webpage, including inline SVGs, sprite instances, and CORS-restricted elements.
• Optimizes SVGs using SVGO to minify files by removing unnecessary data, comments, and metadata.
• Exports SVGs in formats such as PNG, WEBP, JPEG, or as minified Data URIs.
• Transforms SVGs into React components using SVGR for frontend development workflows.
• Organizes SVGs into collections grouped by domain or custom names, with options to move, copy, duplicate, or share.
• Provides an editor to view, edit, and preview SVG code before processing or export.

How SVG Gobbler Can Be Used

• Extract icon sets from competitor sites or design inspiration pages for prototyping UI elements.
• Optimize large SVG bundles from web projects to reduce file sizes and improve site performance.
• Convert website SVGs to PNG or WEBP for raster-based outputs in presentations or mockups.
• Generate React components from found SVGs during frontend implementation to speed up icon integration.
• Build custom SVG sprite sheets from collections of icons downloaded across multiple domains.

Who Is SVG Gobbler For?

SVG Gobbler serves web designers, UI/UX developers, and front-end engineers who work with vector graphics in design and development workflows. It fits projects involving asset extraction from live sites, such as icon research, performance optimization, or cross-platform exports, particularly for those handling dynamic or restricted content. Junior designers can use it for quick SVG discovery, while experienced developers benefit from its optimization and code transformation features. Visit SVG Gobbler
