Users browse by category or search for a graphic, then adjust its style in the browser before exporting. The site says all graphics are built to be customized this way, so there is no need to open SVG code in an editor. Once the design looks right, the graphic can be copied as CSS or inline SVG and pasted directly into a project.
Graphics can also be downloaded as SVG or PNG, or exported to Illustrator. The site says it avoids ZIP files, watermarks, and required software, and that its graphics are made to keep file size low and work in modern browsers. A short how-to guide explains where to place the CSS code.

Background categories include abstract, geometric, gradient, line art, three-dimensional, texture, and hand-drawn, along with animated and holiday collections. Icon sets include Triple Threat, Duo-Tone, and Plump icons, and elements range from shape dividers to quotation marks.
Beyond the library, the site provides free tools: an SVG to CSS Converter, a Shape Divider Generator, and SVG Dot Grids. Separate search pages cover backgrounds, SVG graphics, and free graphics.
