Convert text into scalable vector outlines using any font.
About the Text to SVG Path Converter
This tool allows you to convert standard text into vector outlines (SVG paths). Normally, when you use text on a website, the user's browser needs to download the font file to display it correctly. If the font fails to load, the text might look wrong. By converting the text to an SVG path, you turn the letters into geometric shapes.
This is incredibly useful for logos, headers, and creative typography. Once converted, the "text" is no longer editable as words, but it guarantees that your design will look exactly the same on every device, even if the user doesn't have the font installed. You can also apply strokes, fills, and gradients just like any other vector shape.
We support uploading your own custom font files (.ttf, .otf, .woff) so you can generate paths using any typeface you own. The entire conversion happens locally in your browser, so your font files and text remain private.
How to Use the Tool
- Type your desired text into the input box.
- (Optional) Upload a custom font file to see your text in a specific typeface. The tool uses a default font if none is uploaded.
- Adjust the "Font Size" slider to scale the path.
- Customize the "Fill Color" and "Stroke Color" to match your design.
- Use the "Stroke Width" slider to create outline text effects.
- Copy the generated SVG code or click "Download SVG" to save the file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert text to SVG paths?
Converting text to paths ensures that the typography looks exactly the same on all devices, regardless of whether they have the font installed. It also allows you to manipulate the text as a graphic (e.g., animating the stroke) and reduces layout shifts.
Can search engines read SVG text paths?
Not easily. Since the text is converted into shapes (vectors), search engines like Google treat it as an image, not readable text. You should use this for logos or artistic headers, but keep main content as real HTML text for SEO.
What font formats are supported?
Our tool supports the most common web and desktop font formats: TrueType (.ttf), OpenType (.otf), and Web Open Font Format (.woff).
Is the conversion private?
Yes. The font parsing and path generation happen entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. Your font files and text data are never uploaded to our servers.
