To customize and enhance the aesthetics of Elementor tools, utilizing custom SVG icons is a great choice. These icons allow for flexibility in resizing and color, giving you more freedom for design. Here, we'll discuss ways you can employ these icons within Elementor.

First of all, you should know that one of the simplest ways is to use the icon library section, which allows you to directly add SVG icons. However, if you want to use your own custom SVGs, it will require several additional steps.

You can use SVG directly by employing the <img> or <svg> tags directly in the HTML editor of Elementor. This method allows you to directly access the CSS styles for greater customization.

Another method is using the Custom CSS feature in Elementor, where you can add custom CSS codes for styling and adjustments related to SVGs. This allows you complete control over the appearance of your icons.

Ultimately, by using the HTML tool and JavaScript, you can animate your SVG icons and apply special effects. This results in your images being perceived as lively and appealing in your website.

Below is an example demonstrating the use of SVG icons using HTML:


<!-- Simple code example for adding SVG to an HTML element -->
<div class="custom-svg-icon">
    <svg width="100" height="100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
        <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" />
    </svg>
</div>

Now let's analyze this code line by line:

<div class="custom-svg-icon">
A new div is created with the class custom-svg-icon to make it easier to style with CSS.

<svg width="100" height="100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
Creates an svg element with a width and height of 100 pixels. The dimensions are set to ensure complete scalability.

<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" />
