Free graphics to help build your HMI

Posted by Janice Colmer on Sep 26, 2024 8:06:30 AM

Take your HMIs to the next level with this free resource on the Opto 22 website.

Working on updating your HMI screens or looking for new design ideas?  Whether it's for use with a groov EPIC (GRV-EPIC-PR1 or GRV-EPIC-PR2), groov Server for Windows (GROOV-SVR-WIN-BASE), or any other control dashboards you're working with, these free website resources can help.

Find all your SVGs, PNGs, GIFs, product images, and logos in one convenient location—the Opto 22 SVG and GIF Library.

These images and animations help you easily build an operator interface to see and interact with the devices and data you need. And even better news...the library was just updated with more images and features you don't want to miss.

It's easy to get there: just click the direct link to the SVG and GIF Library available from the main menu of the website. Highlight the Support tab and choose Image Library from the dropdown menu

Need a refresher? Here's what you'll find in the SVG and GIF Library:

  • Editable SVGs
  • As-is SVGs - not editable 
  • Product images in SVG, as-is and PNG formats
  • GIF animations with PNG static forms

 In addition to existing graphics, you can create new SVGs using these tools from the SVG Image Library:

And when you're in this design tool, you can also search for the right addition to your HMI screen by:

  • Image format: Editable SVGs, As-is SVGs, animated GIFs, and PNGs
  • General application categories: process, discrete, energy, transportation, water, etc.
  • Specific devices: AC, alarms, conveyors, gauges,  pumps, valves, etc.
  • Products: groov, EPIC, logos, etc.
  • Artwork qualities: front view, perspective, isometric, symbolic, realistic, etc.

What are the latest features and updates?
  • A total of 1,936 images and growing (978 in color, editable form)
  • Ability to tag your Favorites to your user profile in your MyOpto account
  • More search options, so you can use both tags and filenames, or use a dropdown menu to search
  • Resizable views of graphics for easier identification
  • Option to download SVG files or convert to PNG
  • Static PNGs to match all animated GIFs

Another fun feature: You can change a background color to see how the graphic would display on light or dark backgrounds, and the background color doesn't affect the downloaded graphic. 


So where do you start?

Choose from one of the main categories:

  • All Images for searching all graphics by tags
  • Product Images for marketing-related product images and logos
  • Editable SVGs for groov View user interfaces
  • GIF Animations for groov View and PAC Display
