<rect>
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.
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.
Example
<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>
