Accepted Tags 🛡️
Certified Visual Only
This page applies to HTML Content (lite), the certified edition of the visual.
The regular HTML Content edition does not filter your content for tags - it passes values through to the Power BI custom-visual sandbox and relies on the sandbox as its only line of defense. This is the key behavioral difference between the two editions.
Also see Sanitization for how content is filtered within allowed tags.

* <img/> can be used with data URLs.
- Content cannot be loaded from remote endpoints, in order to comply with visual certification rules.
- For raster image MIME types (
image/png,image/jpeg,image/gif,image/webp,image/bmp) the URL must be base64-encoded (data:image/png;base64,…); plain-text variants are rejected. - From version 1.6.1 onwards,
data:image/svg+xmlis also permitted and accepts;base64,,;utf8,, and bare-comma forms; the inner SVG is recursively scanned and<script/>,<foreignObject/>, and<use/>are stripped.
All SVG tags should also be supported, with the exception of <use/>, <script/>, and <foreignObject/>.
- From version 1.6.1 onwards, SMIL animation tags (
<animate/>,<animateMotion/>,<animateTransform/>,<set/>) are also permitted, with restrictions on which attributes they may target - see Sanitization for the safe-target list.
