    This is very cool but hasn’t it been around for like a decade?

    The notice about having "access" to the backgrounds is sticky, and takes up one third of the screen on mobile with no way to remove it . . . Why?

    These are beautiful, thank you for sharing. I really like the one with the triangles, was it inspired by Rule 30?

    Great idea man, must be pulling in some good SEO traffic as well.

      Yes, I was lucky enough to find a keyword domain that was available. Would recommend :)

    Each one can be copied as inline SVG or CSS using the background-image property with a data URI. Most are under 1KB.

    What's the license?

    • visiwig 5 hours ago

      The license can be found here: svgbackgrounds.com/license

      Summary: You can use graphics in personal or commercial projects, you cannot use the graphics as the primary integrity of your product, you must provide attribution (svgbackgrounds.com/attribution)

      And before anyone rips off my head, attribution can be placed inside commented out code, so it doesn't need to take away from your design.

    tldr for anyone skimming: the key insight is in section 3
