Text to SVG

Convert words, phrases, and multi-line text into portable SVG outlines using the currently loaded font.

Text to SVG is useful when you need a logo wordmark, label, title, or short sentence as editable vector artwork instead of live text.

What it creates

  • SVG files with text converted to outline paths.
  • Clipboard-ready SVG source.
  • Vector output that does not require the font to be installed where the SVG is used.

Controls

  • Font size.
  • Every variable axis the loaded font exposes.
  • Letter spacing.
  • Line height.
  • Fixed wrap width.
  • Text alignment.
  • Padding.
  • Fill color.
  • System fallback font behavior.

Color artwork

Text to SVG keeps supported vector color glyphs (COLR/CPAL and OpenType-SVG) in their original colors and embeds bitmap color glyphs (sbix/CBDT) as PNG. The fill color applies to monochrome artwork. Color display still depends on macOS and the destination app.

Fallback behavior

Fallback fonts are optional. Leave fallback disabled when you want the SVG to stay faithful to the loaded font and report missing glyphs instead of silently mixing fonts.

Enable fallback when convenience matters more than exact single-font output.

  1. Import the font you want to use.
  2. Open Text to SVG.
  3. Enter a word, phrase, or multi-line text.
  4. Adjust spacing, wrapping, alignment, padding, and color.
  5. Copy the SVG or save it as a standalone .svg file.

Notes

  • Text to SVG exports outlines; it does not create or install a font, and it does not export a static font instance.
  • Variable axes affect outline generation when the loaded font exposes them.
  • Very long passages are better handled as normal text in your design or web layout.
