How do I convert an SVG file to SCR using the converter?

Upload your SVG via the upload button or drag-and-drop, then select the output resolution (default is 256x192 to match retro standards) and color mode if available. Click 'Convert' to rasterize the vector into SCR's 8x8 attribute grid, then download the .scr file.

Why would I need to convert SVG to SCR?

SCR is the native bitmap format for ZX Spectrum screens, widely used in retro game development and emulators. Converting SVG allows you to design crisp vector graphics and then merge them into SCR's palette-based, low-resolution format for authentic retro rendering. SCR files are also much smaller than high-res SVGs, making them suitable for memory-limited systems.

How does SVG to SCR conversion handle gradients, transparency, and vector shapes?

During conversion, SVG vector shapes are rasterized and scaled to the target resolution (typically 256x192). Gradients and anti-aliased edges are flattened and quantized to SCR's 16-color attribute palette, which can cause dithering or color banding. Transparency is replaced with a solid attribute color (often the paper background), and vector attributes like stroke width and object grouping are merged into the final bitmap. Layers are not preserved.
