FAQ

Quick answers

How do I rotate an SVG element around its center?
Paste your SVG, then click Rotate around center. The tool uses rotate(angle cx cy) with the viewBox midpoint.
Why not rotate from 0,0?
A corner origin slides the artwork out of frame. Center pivot keeps the object in place while it turns.
Is the center the bounding box or the viewBox?
The viewBox center (or width/height midpoint when viewBox is missing).
Same idea for icons?
Yes — see Rotate SVG Icon Around Center.
