SVG Generator for Glowing Shapes

What is a Glowing SVG Shape Generator?

A glowing SVG shape generator creates futuristic-looking shapes with neon-style glow effects. You pick a basic shape (circle, square, triangle, hexagon, etc.), set gradient or solid fill, then add blur and ghost layers for the glow. Ghost shapes—with their own blur, distance, and opacity—create layered, soft glows around the main shape. The result is SVG: scalable, lightweight, suitable for icons, logos, and decorative elements. For PNG or other raster formats, rasterize the SVG in the browser. Ideal for tech, gaming, cyber, and sci-fi designs.

Features for Designers

An SVG generator for futuristic-looking glowing shapes.

Basic Shapes

Circle, square, triangle, rounded triangle, hexagon, rounded hexagon. Simple forms that glow.

Gradient or Solid

Gradient fill with fill 1 and fill 2, or solid color. Full control over the shape color.

Glow Controls

Blur X/Y for main glow. Ghost blur, ghost distance, ghost opacity for layered glow effect.

Shape Options

Overall opacity, shape size, stroke width, rotation, rounded corners. Fine-tune until it fits.

Copy & Save

Copy SVG markup or save the file. Rasterize to PNG if needed. Use in web and design.

Futuristic Look

Designed for neon, cyber, and sci-fi aesthetics. Great for tech and gaming projects.

How To Create a Glowing Shape

Build neon shapes in three steps.

Pick a Shape

Choose circle, square, triangle, hexagon, or a rounded variant.

Set Fill

Gradient (fill 1, fill 2) or solid color. Tweak opacity, size, stroke, rotation.

Add Glow

Adjust blur X/Y. Add ghost blur, distance, and opacity for layered glow. Copy or save.

Tips for Glowing Shapes

Get the most out of the generator.

Use Ghost for Depth

Ghost shapes add layers. Increase ghost distance and opacity for stronger glow.

Gradient for Neon

Gradient fill (e.g., cyan to magenta) often looks more neon than flat color.

Rasterize for Compatibility

SVG filters can be heavy. Rasterize to PNG for broader support or performance.
