Wrap animated SVG elements in a div to enable hardware acceleration. Apply when animating SVG icons or elements, especially in 8-bit retro components with pixel art animations.

Animate SVG Wrapper Instead of SVG Element

Many browsers don't have hardware acceleration for CSS3 animations on SVG elements. Wrap SVG in a

and animate the wrapper instead. Important for 8-bit components with pixel art icons and animations.

Incorrect (animating SVG directly - no hardware acceleration):

```tsx

function PixelSpinner() {

return (

className="animate-spin"

viewBox="0 0 16 16"

)

}

```

Correct (animating wrapper div - hardware accelerated):

```tsx

function PixelSpinner() {

return (

viewBox="0 0 16 16"

width="16"

height="16"

)

}

```

For 8-bit icon components with hover effects:

```tsx

function RetroIcon({ icon: Icon, className }: RetroIconProps) {

return (

)

}

```

This applies to all CSS transforms and transitions (transform, opacity, translate, scale, rotate). The wrapper div allows browsers to use GPU acceleration for smoother animations, which is especially noticeable for retro pixel art animations.
