Can SVG animations be achieved by inlining SVGs in Webflow? Can modified files with SVG animations be re-uploaded for hosting with Webflow?

Yes, SVG animations can be achieved by inlining SVGs in Webflow. Webflow allows you to add custom code to your project, including SVG markup. By inlining SVGs, you can directly embed the SVG code within your Webflow project, allowing you to control and animate different elements of the SVG using CSS or JavaScript.

To inline an SVG in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create or obtain the SVG code you want to use for your animation.
  2. In Webflow, navigate to the page where you want to add the SVG animation.
  3. Drag and drop an HTML Embed element onto your page.
  4. Paste the SVG code into the HTML Embed element.
  5. Use CSS or JavaScript to apply animations and interactions to the SVG elements.

It's important to note that inlining SVGs in Webflow gives you more control over the animations and interactions, but it may require some knowledge of coding and understanding of how SVGs work.

Regarding modified files with SVG animations, it is not possible to directly re-upload and host those modified files within Webflow. Webflow hosting is designed to handle static files and does not allow for server-side processing or dynamic content generation. However, you can always modify the SVG code within Webflow using the HTML Embed element, allowing you to apply additional animations or interactions to your SVGs.

In summary, SVG animations can be achieved by inlining SVGs in Webflow using the HTML Embed element. While Webflow does not allow for hosting modified SVG files, you can still modify and animate SVGs within the Webflow environment using custom code.
