Convert VectorDrawable to SVG

sandalone picture sandalone · Jul 6, 2017 · Viewed 43.4k times · Source

I have made the opposite conversions (SVG to VectorDrawable) manually or using web tools.

But I am having hard time to do the opposite thing. I have VectorDrawable but I am not sure how to convert it to SVG and I can find zero online tools to do it.

Does anyone have experience with this and what are the steps or tools to do it?

Like this website which does it: https://shapeshifter.design

Steps I follow:

android:pathData replaced with d

android:fillColor replaced with fill

android:strokeColor replaced with stroke

android:strokeWidth replaced with stroke-width

android:fillType replaced with fill-rule

A path in the VectorDrawable without fillColor is fill="none" in SVG.

android:viewportHeight="24" android:viewportWidth="24" is viewBox="0 0 24 24" in SVG.

Example

Vector Drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="24dp"
    android:height="24dp"
    android:viewportHeight="24"
    android:viewportWidth="24">

    <path
        android:fillColor="#ffffff"
        android:pathData="M12,3L2,12h3v8h2.5v-0.8c0-1.5,3-2.2,4.5-2.2s4.5,0.8,4.5,2.2V20H19v-8h3L12,3zM12,15.2c1.2,0-2.2-1-2.2-2.2 s1-2.2,2.2-2.2s2.2,1,2.2,2.2S13.2,15.2,12,15.2z" />
    <path android:pathData="M0,0h24v24H0V0z" />
</vector>

SVG

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    width="24" 
    height="24" 
    viewBox="0 0 24 24" >

    <path 
        fill="#ffffff"
        d="M12,3L2,12h3v8h2.5v-0.8c0-1.5,3-2.2,4.5-2.2s4.5,0.8,4.5,2.2V20H19v8h3L12,3zM12,15.2c1.2,0-2.2-1-2.2-2.2 s1-2.2,2.2-2.2s2.2,1,2.2,2.2S13.2,15.2,12,15.2z" />
    <path d="M0,0h24v24H0V0z" fill="none"/>
</svg>
