Custom SVG Icons

Updated on Nov 10, 2026

The SvgIcon component allows you to display custom SVG icons (not available in the KendoReact default icons set). You can provide the inner SVG elements as children to the SvgIcon. SVG element has default viewBox set to 0 0 24 24. This can be customized with the viewBox property.

Custom SVG icons also allow setting all predefined appearance options such as different sizes, theme colors and flipping.

Security: The entire SVGIcon object passed to the icon prop is rendered as raw SVG markup without sanitization. This includes its content property and every entry in variants selected through the variant prop. Use only icon objects from a trusted source, such as @progress/kendo-svg-icons, or SVG markup that you author and control. Never pass user-supplied or otherwise untrusted content through icon, because malicious SVG markup can enable cross-site scripting.

The following example demonstrates how to use custom SVG icons.

Built-in SVG Icons customization

Using the IconsContext.Provider you can also customize the SVG icons which are already embedded into the components. In the example below you can see how to replace the arrow icon of the SplitButton component with:

• an icon from the @progress/kendo-svg-icons package
• a custom SVG object
• a FontAwesome icon
