SVG text
Live letters inside an SVG. It remains editable, but the next device needs access to the same font to render it reliably.

Text To SVG Output
Know the output before you export
SVG text, SVG paths, and TXT to SVG are not the same thing.
Choose the format based on what needs to happen after the lettering leaves this browser: editable copy, a portable visual asset, or CAD-ready geometry.
SVG path
Outlined vector geometry. It keeps the letterform stable for logos, design handoff, web graphics, and tools that do not have your font installed.
TXT to SVG
Type or paste the words you need, choose a font, and export paths. It describes the input workflow, not uploading a .txt document.
Need a specific typeface or a fabrication-ready file next? Continue with the workflow that matches the handoff.
How to Convert Text to SVG
Turn your text into clean SVG/DXF outlines in 3 simple steps
- Step 01Enter your text
Type or paste the text you want to convert.
- Step 02Pick a font and options
Choose a Google Font and adjust size, tracking, kerning, ligatures, bezier accuracy, units, fill rule, and stroke style.
- Step 03Copy or download
Copy the SVG code to your clipboard or download .svg / .dxf files.
Why people use this tool in practice
TextToSVG is most useful when you need production-ready outlines without extra file handling. These are the jobs where a browser-based text-to-path tool actually saves time.
- Logo and wordmark drafts
Turn a font-based concept into clean paths before you move it into Figma, Illustrator, or a client handoff file.
- React and web graphics
Export SVG, JSX, or TSX for hero artwork, dashboard labels, badges, and UI graphics that should not depend on installed fonts.
- Laser cutting prep
Check spacing, choose sturdier type, and generate path-based output that is easier to inspect before sending to your cutter workflow.
- CNC and maker workflows
Use DXF or SVG as a bridge between text layout and fabrication tools when live text is no longer useful downstream.
- Fast export without design software
When you only need one clean text graphic, this is quicker than opening a full editor just to outline letters and export a file.

Keep the conversion step local and predictable
TextToSVG is built for the part of the workflow where you want finished outlines without handing files to a converter queue. Edit the copy, inspect the paths, and export the format that fits the next tool.
- Private working flow
- Text shaping and vector generation happen in the page, which keeps the conversion step direct and easier to trust.
- No upload queue
- You can turn short copy into outlines without sending artwork through a converter form first.
- Review before export
- Preview the result while you edit, then copy or download the exact output you want to hand off.
- Direct output options
- Move from text input to SVG, DXF, JSX, or TSX without an extra cleanup step in between.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1What is SVG?
What is SVG?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML‑based vector image format. It represents shapes with paths and curves, so artwork stays crisp at any size and remains easy to edit in design tools and on the web.
2What is DXF?
What is DXF?
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD‑oriented vector format commonly used for laser cutting, engraving, CNC plotting, and CAD applications. It stores geometry (polylines, arcs, etc.) in a way that many fabrication tools can read.
3What is Text To SVG?
What is Text To SVG?
Text To SVG is a free, browser‑based tool that converts your text into precise SVG vector paths using Google Fonts. You can customize typography (size, tracking, kerning, ligatures), colors and strokes, and export clean, production‑ready SVG or DXF files for design, web, print, and making.
4How does Text To SVG work?
How does Text To SVG work?
The tool loads the selected Google Font, shapes your text (optionally with kerning and standard ligatures), and converts each glyph into path commands (bezier curves). Options like size, letter spacing (tracking), bezier accuracy, fill/stroke, and units create optimized, editable vector output that works in any SVG/DXF‑aware app.
5Is it safe to use Text To SVG?
Is it safe to use Text To SVG?
Yes. Text conversion runs locally in your browser. Your text and font shaping are not uploaded or stored by the app, and the generated SVG/DXF files stay on your device.
6Where can I use the exported SVG/DXF?
Where can I use the exported SVG/DXF?
Use the SVG in Figma, Sketch, Illustrator, Affinity, or directly on websites and apps. Use DXF for laser cutting, engraving, CNC plotting, or CAD workflows. The output is clean vector paths that import reliably across modern design and engineering tools.
7What fonts and options are supported by Text To SVG?
What fonts and options are supported by Text To SVG?
Choose from Google Fonts families and variants, with controls for size, tracking (letter spacing), kerning, standard ligatures, character separation, bezier accuracy, fill rule, fill/stroke colors, stroke width, and non‑scaling stroke. Units include px/em/mm/in so you can match web or fabrication requirements.
8Can I use the downloaded SVG or DXF for commercial purposes?
Can I use the downloaded SVG or DXF for commercial purposes?
Yes. Files you generate are yours to use, including in commercial projects. However, the font you choose has its own license. Most Google Fonts use the SIL Open Font License (OFL), which allows commercial use of rendered text. Always review the specific font’s license and applicable laws — this is not legal advice.
9SVG or DXF — which should I use?
SVG or DXF — which should I use?
Use SVG for web/design tools (Figma, Illustrator, Sketch, Affinity) and when you need scalable, editable graphics. Choose DXF when targeting fabrication workflows like laser cutting/engraving, CNC plotting, or CAD environments that expect DXF geometry.
10What is the difference between SVG text and an SVG path?
What is the difference between SVG text and an SVG path?
SVG text remains editable but needs the right font to render consistently. An SVG path converts each letter into vector outlines, so the shape travels reliably to design tools, websites, and machines without the original font installed.
11Does TXT to SVG mean uploading a .txt file?
Does TXT to SVG mean uploading a .txt file?
No. TXT to SVG usually means typing or pasting words into a converter and exporting their outlines as SVG paths. You do not need to upload a text document to use this tool.
