Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) in SharePoint Online communication sites - Weird resizing behavior
Has anyone used SVG images on pages in modern communication sites yet? I was curious if people were seeing problems like we are... SVG images placed on the pages will resize with unexpected results, ...
TimLB I have tried using svg's for icons on quick link web parts (I wanted to create icons that resembled the standard MS icons). However, Sharepoint took several minutes to render the image, usually just giving up in the process. The very aggravating part was that every time I tried to upload another image, it would display the "recent images," including the offending svg file. The result is that sharepoint locked up for several minutes every time I tried to upload another image until I realized the problem. This occured in both Chrome and Edge. My take is that while MS Powerpoint can handle an svg, Sharepoint cannot.
- Wow, I have not looked at this in a while. I'm going to revisit this and try it out again in various pieces to see what happens. That really bums me out that it's also degraded to the point that the SPO page experiences slow rendering.
