The <rect>
element is a basic SVG shape that draws rectangles, defined by their position, width, and height. The rectangles may have their corners rounded.
html,body,svg { height:100% }
<svg viewBox="0 0 220 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <!-- Simple rectangle --> <rect width="100" height="100" /> <!-- Rounded corner rectangle --> <rect x="120" width="100" height="100" rx="15" /> </svg>
