Frequently asked questions
A interactive SVG is a scalable vector graphic that responds to user actions. Instead of staying static, parts of the image can be clicked, hovered, or animated to reveal extra information, links, or visuals.
Interactive SVGs are perfect for diagrams, floor plans, or process flows where users need to click specific regions or objects to reveal additional information – ideal for location-based data or specialized visualizations.
Design your SVG in programs like Illustrator, Figma or Inkscape, ensuring each clickable element has a unique ID. Upload the SVG to Flourish and match your data column names to these element IDs for interactive functionality. Read more in our help doc.
