Frequently Asked Questions

How do animated SVG icons work?

Animated SVG icons use CSS animations or SMIL (SVG animation markup) embedded directly in the SVG file. They animate without JavaScript, keeping your bundle lean while adding delightful motion.

Do animated icons affect performance?

Most animated SVG icons use GPU-accelerated CSS transforms and opacity, making them very performant. Line-MD icons are specifically optimized for minimal CPU usage during animation.

Can I control when the animation plays?

Yes, you can control SVG animations with CSS. Use animation-play-state to pause/resume, or trigger animations on hover, click, or when elements scroll into view.
