AI to SVG Converter - Free Online
AI in, SVG out. The conversion runs server-side on Ghostscript or Inkscape - whichever the formats need - so the file never touches a third-party API.
How to convert AI to SVG
Convert your AI (Adobe Illustrator) file to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). Both formats are vector, so the conversion preserves your paths and text - no resolution loss. Optionally outline fonts during conversion so the output renders identically without needing the source typeface installed on the recipient's machine.
- Drop your AI file onto the converter above (or click "Pick a file"). Up to 25 MB.
- Pick SVG as the output format. Optionally outline fonts.
- Click "Convert & Download." The result streams back. The original file is processed in-memory and not saved.
Why AI to SVG?
Real reason: SVG opens on more machines than AI does. When you don’t know what software the recipient has, SVG is the safer hand-off.
SVG is the modern web vector format. Browsers render it natively; designers can edit it; and it scales infinitely without quality loss. Convert AI to SVG when you need vector art that lives on a website or in a modern design system.
Frequently asked
Is the AI to SVG converter really free?
Yes. Public converter is free, no login, no watermark, capped at 5 conversions per day per IP. A free account drops the rate limit and adds batch (10 files at a time), URL batch, and 30 days of re-downloadable history.
What's the file size limit?
25 MB per file on the public converter. If your file is larger, an account also gets you batch + URL conversion which can chain larger jobs.
Do you keep my file on your server?
No. The public converter processes your file in-memory and deletes it after the conversion completes. With a free account, conversions are saved for 30 days so you can re-download from your history - private to your account only.
Will my fonts and paths be preserved?
Yes. The conversion runs through Inkscape's vector-to-vector engine, so paths and live text are preserved. There's also an "outline fonts" toggle that converts text to paths during conversion - useful when the destination machine may not have the source font installed.
Is this safer than uploading my art to a random online converter?
Yes. The converter is self-hosted on our servers, runs through Ghostscript / Inkscape / sharp - all open-source, well-vetted tools - and we do not retain your file or share it with any third party. Source code visibility is part of the trade-off when you choose a tool that says "we built this on our own infrastructure."
