Text To Svg

Need a logo, UI label, or laser-cut wordmark that always looks right? Here’s the quick, safe way to convert text to SVG in under a minute using TextToSVG.app—no design software, no sign-up, no uploads.

What “convert text to SVG” means

Two flavors exist:

  • Live text in SVG Uses a <text> element, stays editable/searchable, but depends on fonts being installed wherever you embed it.
  • Outlined text (paths) Turns letters into <path> data so the SVG looks identical everywhere. This is what TextToSVG.app generates by default.

Why use TextToSVG.app

  • 100% in-browser: your text never leaves the page.
  • Google Fonts built in: pick families and weights without installing anything.
  • Clean paths: tweak bezier accuracy, kerning, ligatures, and per-character outlines.
  • Ready-to-ship exports: copy SVG code, download .svg/.dxf, or grab React JSX/TSX.

Convert text to SVG in 5 quick steps

  1. Open TextToSVG.app.
  2. In Text To SVG Options, enter your text and watch the live preview.
  3. Choose Font Family and Variant (all Google Fonts are available), then set a comfy Size for preview.
  4. Fine-tune:
    • Letter spacing, Kerning, Standard ligatures
    • Separate characters on (individual paths) or off (combined paths)
    • Bezier accuracy to balance smooth curves vs. simpler geometry
    • Fill and Stroke colors, Stroke width, Non-scaling stroke, Units (px, em, mm, in)
  5. In Text To SVG Output, pick Copy (SVG code), Download SVG, DXF, or React JSX/TSX. Drop it into your design tool, repo, or fabrication software.

Suggested settings for common use cases

  • Units: px
  • Bezier accuracy: medium–high (smooth curves)

Export as SVG and drop into Figma/Sketch/Illustrator or inline on the web.

Web UI icons and labels
