Giving an SVG a border

[toolman]

Hi,

Is it possible to give an SVG a border using CSS?

I currently have an SVG inside an img tag like this:

<div class="smile-5">
<img src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/images/smile.svg" class="img-fluid" alt="Smile" />
</div>

I am trying to add a 2px border around it. Also, it is a circle with a shape inside it, so I’m wondering if the border will just go around the outer shape and not the inner shape?

I’ve tried adding a border to it in illustrator, but as I am scaling the image in different places, the border doesn’t remain at 2px.

Any ideas would be great

Thank you!

but as I am scaling the image in different places, the border doesn’t remain at 2px .

You could try put the border on the container div, making a circle around the scaled image.

Example:

.smile-5 {
  display: table;
  border: 2px solid red;
  border-radius: 50%;
}
