How do I convert an AI file to SVG?

Upload your Adobe Illustrator .ai file to the converter (or paste the AI content). Select SVG as the output format, then click 'Convert'. The tool parses the AI vectors—including Bézier curves and gradient meshes—and writes an SVG 2.0-compatible document that preserves geometry, strokes, and fills. If the AI file contains embedded raster images, they are retained as base64 within the SVG.

Why should I convert AI to SVG?

AI is Adobe's proprietary Illustrator format; SVG is an open W3C web standard. Converting AI to SVG lets you render vector graphics natively in any browser, use them in design tools like Figma or Inkscape, and manipulate them via CSS/JS. SVG also tends to produce smaller files for UI icons and supports responsive scaling, while AI often requires Adobe software to view.

What happens to layers, gradients, transparency, and text during conversion to SVG?

Vector paths, anchors, colors, and gradients are preserved. Transparency and drop shadows are converted to SVG filters (feGaussianBlur, feOffset). Layers are mapped to SVG groups; however, blending modes may be rasterized if they aren't supported by SVG. Text is outlined by default to avoid font mismatch, unless you select the 'editable text' option, which embeds font metadata.
