Convert text into real SVG paths

Choose a bundled font or open a static font file from your device. Enter your text, set the spacing and alignment, and download lettering you can scale or edit in vector design software.

  1. Enter your text, including any intentional line breaks.
  2. Choose a font, or open your own TTF, OTF or WOFF file under Customize.
  3. Download SVG. Each letter is represented by outline geometry, so the receiving device does not need the font.
How do I convert text to SVG paths without installing software?

Enter your text in this browser tool, choose a bundled font or open a supported TTF, OTF or WOFF file, then select Download SVG. The letters become vector paths that stay sharp when resized. The receiving device does not need the font; to change the wording, edit your text here and export again.

Does the SVG contain text or an embedded image?

Neither. The exported lettering consists of SVG path commands taken from the font outlines. There is no embedded PNG, external font reference or SVG text element. You can edit the paths, but changing the wording requires generating a new design. PNG is also available when you need a raster image.

Can I use the SVG with cutting software?

The file provides scalable outline geometry that vector editors can import. Overlapping letters are not welded together, and an outline stroke is not expanded into a separate closed shape. Check dimensions, overlaps and paths in your destination software before preparing a cutting job. Machine-specific settings and cutting compatibility are not guaranteed.

Does PNG scale change the SVG?

No. SVG keeps the same vector geometry at every PNG scale. Font size, letter spacing and padding determine its natural size; you can scale it further in another editor. Line breaks are preserved rather than automatically wrapped.

Are my words or font files uploaded?

Your words, font files and generated designs are processed in your browser. Bundled font files load from FontStyleLab as you browse previews or select a font. A font opened from your device is kept only in this page's memory. It is not uploaded or saved for a later visit.

Which fonts and languages are supported?

Choose from 83 bundled fonts, with search and filters for sans serif, serif, handwriting, display and monospace styles. Font names preview the actual outlines used in your downloads. They support Latin, Greek and Cyrillic lettering when the chosen font includes it. Missing characters produce an explanation instead of silently using another font. Emoji and complex-script shaping are not supported. Static TTF, OTF and WOFF uploads are supported; variable, color and WOFF2 fonts are not. The main text editor has a broader Google Fonts selection and browser text shaping.

Bundled fonts use the SIL Open Font License. For uploaded fonts, follow your font's license.
