Text to SVG

How to use it

1. Type the words into the text box. Each row becomes one line of the output.
2. Set the font size, font weight, letter spacing and line height. Pick a text anchor to align lines left, center or right, and a generic font family.
3. The preview renders as you type. The viewBox is measured from the rendered text, so the frame fits the words.
4. Copy the SVG code and paste it into your page, template or design file. The output is a text element, so it stays selectable, searchable and small.

Common use cases

• Building an inline logo lockup with your wordmark as real text that scales without pixelation.
• Prototyping headline layouts before a designer locks the type.
• Generating decorative section labels for landing pages without exporting an image.
• Teaching SVG text attributes with a live editor.

Why it stays private

Rendering, measuring and code generation all run in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and no font file is downloaded.

FAQ

Q: Why is the output a text element instead of a path? A: Converting a glyph into a path requires the font file itself: a browser has no API that outlines a system font, and this tool never downloads fonts. The output uses the text element with a generic font family, which keeps the markup small and the words selectable.

Q: What are the consequences of using text instead of a path? A: The look depends on the viewer's installed fonts, so the same file can render differently on another device. If the exact shape matters, convert locally with a desktop tool such as FontForge or Inkscape, or ship a licensed webfont and reference it in the SVG.

Q: Which font families can I pick? A: Only the generic CSS families: sans-serif, serif, monospace and cursive. Each viewer maps them to a local font, which is why the preview here may differ from your production site.

Q: Does the viewBox stay correct if I edit the numbers? A: Yes. The frame is re-measured after every change, so the bounds follow the current text, size and spacing. If measurement is unavailable, the tool falls back to a character-count estimate, which may be loose for unusual fonts.
