About
Webflow renders uploaded SVGs as flat images with a 10,000 character cap, which blocks complex illustrations and kills path-level control. SVG Import, a free app by Flowcraft, converts pasted SVG code into native DOM elements on the canvas: every path, group, and shape becomes selectable and styleable with Webflow's own panels. That means binding CMS colors to individual shapes, using currentColor for theme-aware icons, animating specific paths with interactions, and importing SVGs of any size. Essential for animation-heavy builds and anyone moving detailed vector work from Figma into Webflow.
