Host an SVG file as a link.
Drop your .svg and get a URL. The vector renders crisply at every size, on every screen, with no rasterization step.
- 25MBan SVG on the free plan
- 10 linkslive at once, free
- No capon visitors, on any plan
What they see
Your SVG opens as a crisp image.
Paste the link into an email or a chat. The preview card shows your drawing, and one tap opens it on a page of its own, where the browser draws the vector at the size set in the file and shrinks it to fit a smaller screen. Its animations play, any script inside it stays switched off, and a slim NudgeHost header holds a download button for the .svg.

- CSS and SMIL animations play
- Scripts inside the file never run
How it works
From vector to link in three steps.
Drop the SVG
Export it from Figma, Illustrator or Inkscape and drag it onto the uploader. Signed out, each file can be up to 25MB, and you can keep 3 links live at a time.
Copy the link
The link works as soon as the upload finishes. Name the link in the upload card first and it reads like nudgehost.com/harbour-logo instead of a random string.
Send it anywhere
Paste it into an email to a printer, a chat with a developer or a brand guide. It opens in any browser, and nobody needs an account.
After you send it
The link keeps working for you.
Previews and replacing an SVG work on the free plan. Passwords come with Pro.
A preview drawn from the vector
Chat apps that show link previews display your artwork on the card. Text can drop out of that preview, since the card is drawn without your fonts, so outlined text shows most reliably.
Update the logo, keep the link
Upload the new SVG over the old one. The address, the view count and any password or end date stay the same, and the new version still opens as an image.
Add a password or an end date
Give the link a date and it stops working after it. On Pro, a password keeps an unreleased logo away from anyone who doesn't have it.

Why a link beats attaching the SVG.
Many email and chat apps won't preview an SVG attachment, so the person at the other end sees a file icon where your logo should be. A link opens the drawing in the browser straight away, and the Download button hands over the .svg itself to anyone who needs to edit it.
An SVG is text, and it can carry JavaScript as well as shapes. NudgeHost shows it as an image, going by the image/svg+xml type the file carries, and a browser runs no script inside an image and loads nothing from outside the file. CSS and SMIL animation still plays.
A scripted SVG, such as an interactive chart, needs a page around it. You can wrap the markup in an HTML file so its scripts run in a sandboxed frame. The PNG and JPG versions of a logo go up the same way as a photo or a screenshot. A free NudgeHost plan keeps 10 links live at once, enough for every format of a small brand kit.

Frequently asked questions
Will animated SVGs animate when hosted?
Yes. CSS animations and SMIL animations run normally. Scripted animation doesn't, since the browser runs no scripts inside an image.
Do scripts inside my SVG run?
No. The page renders the SVG as an image, and browsers don't execute scripts in that context. If you need scripted behaviour, embed the SVG inside an HTML page and host that.
Can I link directly to the SVG from a CSS background-image?
No. The share link opens a viewer page rather than serving the raw .svg file, and the file address inside that page stops working after an hour, so neither can be referenced from external CSS or an img tag on another site.
What if my SVG references external fonts?
They won't load. An SVG shown as an image can't fetch anything outside the file, so text set in a linked web font falls back to a system font. Convert the text to outlines, or embed the font in the file, before exporting.
Does the SVG stay sharp when someone zooms in?
Yes. The browser redraws the vector at every zoom level, so edges stay clean on a phone and on a large monitor.
What does the link preview show?
A picture of the drawing on a card with the NudgeHost wordmark. Text in the SVG can be missing from that card, since it's drawn without your fonts. A password-protected link shows the standard NudgeHost card.
Does the person I send it to need design software?
No. Any current browser opens it. The Download button gives them the .svg to open in Figma, Illustrator or Inkscape.
Can I share an SVG without making an account?
Yes. Upload signed out and the link works straight away. It lasts 7 days and you can hold 3 at once. If you make a free account later, the links move across and stop expiring.
Can I password-protect an SVG?
Yes, on Pro and Studio. Anyone who opens the link enters the password before the drawing appears.
How long does the link stay online?
On a free account, until you delete it. Links made without an account last 7 days. You can give a link on any account plan an end date.
Can I see how often it's opened?
Free accounts see how many times the link was opened. Pro and Studio add the time and country of each open, with a CSV export.
Is there a limit on how many people can open it?
No. There's no visitor cap on any plan, so a logo link shared with a whole agency keeps working.
Can I choose the link name?
Yes, including without an account. Name the link in the upload card before you drop the file, and it reads like nudgehost.com/harbour-logo instead of a random string.
What happens when I delete a link?
The SVG stops opening straight away. Anyone who follows the link afterwards lands on a page saying there is no file there.
