SVG with external resources: why it breaks
Some editors export SVGs that reference external files (fonts/images). On another machine or server, those assets are missing — so the SVG can render incorrectly.
How to fix it
- Export with embedded resources (embed).
- Outline text to avoid font dependencies.
- If you can’t fix the SVG, export PNG first and generate favicons from PNG.
Quick clue
If the SVG looks fine only on your computer, it likely depends on local resources.
FAQ
Can I embed images in SVG?
Yes, but it increases file size. For favicons, a clean vector mark is best.
Why does the generator warn about external refs?
It can’t fetch your local fonts/images. Embed or remove those references.
