Turn Illustrator artwork into a web-ready vector
SVG is the vector format browsers understand natively, but exporting one normally requires opening the .ai file in Adobe Illustrator. This converter reads the first artboard of your Illustrator file and exports it as an SVG that stays sharp at any size — ideal for logos and icons on the web. Modern PDF-compatible .ai files (Illustrator 9+) and legacy PostScript ones are both supported, processed entirely in memory and never stored.
About Converting AI to SVG
SVG is the vector format of the web — infinitely scalable, tiny, and rendered natively by every browser — but getting an SVG out of an Adobe Illustrator .ai file normally requires Illustrator itself. This converter reads the PDF representation embedded in modern .ai files (Illustrator 9+, saved with the default PDF-compatibility setting) and exports the first artboard as an SVG, preserving paths, fills and text as true vectors. Legacy PostScript-based .ai files are rendered through a sandboxed converter first.
Your artwork is processed entirely in memory, never stored, and discarded as soon as the SVG is delivered.
Common use cases
- Putting a logo designed in Illustrator onto a website as a crisp, scalable vector
- Converting brand assets to SVG for use in apps, docs and design systems
- Extracting vector artwork from an .ai file without a Creative Cloud licence
- Preparing icons for inline embedding in HTML or a component library
Tips for best results
- The first artboard is exported; convert to PDF first if you need the other artboards.
- Text is preserved as vector outlines in the rendered SVG, so it displays identically everywhere without needing the original fonts.
- SVG keeps the artwork resolution-independent — ideal for responsive layouts and high-DPI screens.
