svg-sprite-generator

Unlike similar Gulp or Grunt tools, our SVG sprite generator is created for designers who are not fond of coding. This tool simply takes a list of SVG files and make a single sprite file using <symbol> elements.

SVG sprite generator is a helpful for creating icon systems.

This program needs Node.js to run. If Node already existed in your system, use npm to install the generator:

npm install -g svg-sprite-generator
