Is it possible to edit the color of an SVG pictogram directly in Webflow and can the color also be changed using animations?

Yes, you can edit the color of an SVG pictogram directly in Webflow if it’s embedded as inline SVG, and you can also animate the color using Webflow interactions or custom code.

1. Use Inline SVG Instead of Image Element

• Image elements (.svg files added via the Image component or set as background images) cannot have their color styles changed in Webflow.
• Inline SVGs (pasted directly into a Webflow Embed element) can be styled and animated because they exist in the DOM as real elements.

2. Paste SVG Code in an Embed Element

• Use Embed from the Add Elements panel.
• Paste your SVG code directly into the Embed.
• Remove any hard-coded fill or stroke attributes if you want to control them via classes or animations.
• Optional: Assign a class to the <path>, <g>, or other SVG elements for styling/animation.

3. Style the SVG with Webflow Designer

• Once embedded and classed, you can style fill, stroke, size, and more using the Style panel.
• Example: Select a class like .icon-path { fill: #000000; } and style it directly.

4. Animate SVG Colors Using Webflow Interactions

• Use Webflow interactions (e.g., on page load, on hover) to change the background color, fill, or stroke.
• Under Element Actions, choose Style → then animate Fill color (use for inline SVG paths).
• You can also animate the stroke, opacity, or transform properties.

5. For Complex SVGs, Use Classes Strategically

• Use custom classes on specific SVG elements (<g>, <path>, <circle>) to target them in interactions or style changes.
• This gives you precise control over their animation and appearance.

Summary

You can change and animate the color of an SVG pictogram in Webflow if it’s embedded as inline SVG via the Embed element. This makes the SVG’s inner elements accessible for styling and interactions. SVGs added via the Image element cannot be styled or animated for color changes.
