SVG Icons Not Rendering Correctly in HTML Email - Outlook Rendering Issues
After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm experiencing issues with rendering SVG icons in HTML emails, particularly in Outlook. Despite adhering to best practices, the SVGs appear as blank images or are entirely missing when the email is opened in Outlook. I've tried using both inline SVGs and referencing external files, but neither method seems to resolve the rendering scenario. Here's a snippet of my email template: ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Email Template</title> </head> <body> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h1>Welcome to Our Newsletter!</h1> <img src="data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 100 100'><circle cx='50' cy='50' r='40' fill='blue'/></svg>" alt="Blue Circle Icon" /> <p>Thank you for subscribing!</p> </div> </body> </html> ``` When I send this HTML email, the SVG icon loads fine in Gmail and Apple Mail, but in Outlook (both desktop and web versions), it doesn't show up at all. I've also tried adding a fallback PNG image using the `<picture>` element, but that hasn't worked either. The emails are sent using a service like Mailchimp, and I've ensured that the email is being sent with the correct MIME type. Are there any specific workarounds or solutions for ensuring SVG icons render correctly in Outlook, or is it generally advised to stick with PNG or JPG images for emails? This issue appeared after updating to Html latest. I'm working on a desktop app that needs to handle this. What's the best practice here? Any suggestions would be helpful.
