Step 1: Open an Existing SVG File
To open a responsive file in Adobe XD such as SVG, you simply need to head over to the “File” options menu and then go to “Import.” From there, browse over the folder where the file is located and select it to bring it up to the artboard. However, you can always take the shortcut option by right-clicking on the file and selecting “Open With,” then “Adobe XD” from the drop-down menu. Alternatively, you may drag the file into the XD artboard or just copy and paste it.

Step 2: Enable Responsive Resize
The drag-and-drop option in resizing does not work well on a responsive SVG file. Doing so will make the design pixelated and awful. Instead, go to the right side pane to enable the “Responsive Resize” feature. After, you can start clicking and dragging the image to a size you want without distorting it and ruining its quality.

Step 3: Specify the Dimensions You Want for the Project
If you want specific sizes for the image, you should adjust the width and length manually. So go to the artboard toolbar on the right side pane and key in the sizes of your choice. You can see this above the “Responsive Resize” tab. You can also use the “Fix Width” and “Fix Height” buttons to achieve a perfect resize.
