CSS Tip

An SVG-to-CSS converter tool has been updated to support multiple SVG path elements, not just a single path. It merges multiple path elements by concatenating their 'd' attribute values and converts them into a single CSS shape() function, producing responsive single-element code. A border-only version using border-shape is also available (Chrome-only). The technique works when paths form separate portions of the same shape, share the same color, and have no transforms applied. The author emphasizes that shape() is not a replacement for SVG but a proof-of-concept tool.

Convert Complex SVG Shapes into CSS

<p>Nice update. Being able to merge multiple paths into one CSS shape makes it much easier to use complex SVG visuals without extra markup, as long as the paths are clean and consistent.</p>
