Why Use SVG as CSS Background?

No extra HTTP request — the SVG is embedded directly in your CSS
Scalable — looks sharp at any size
Customizable — change colors by editing the SVG code
Small file size — SVG data URIs are often smaller than base64-encoded PNGs

Example

.icon {
  width: 24px;
  height: 24px;
  background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' ...");
  background-size: contain;
}
