AI to SVG Converter

Convert Adobe Illustrator vector files into web-ready SVG. This preserves compatible vector geometry instead of tracing a screenshot.

Adobe .AI · Server-side

FREE OPEN-SOURCE CONVERSION · TEMPORARY FILES ARE DELETED

Compatibility: Modern AI files must be saved with “Create PDF Compatible File.” Proprietary live effects, linked images, and some gradient meshes may not translate exactly.

Format conversion, not AI image tracing

01

Upload the AI file

Choose a PDF-compatible or legacy PostScript Adobe Illustrator file up to 10 MB.

02

Convert in an isolated worker

Inkscape interprets the original vector data without rasterizing and retracing it.

03

Review and download SVG

Inspect compatibility warnings, preview the sanitized output, and download the SVG.

Frequently asked

How do I convert an AI file to SVG?

Upload the .ai file. SVG Genie detects PDF-compatible or legacy PostScript Illustrator data, converts it in an isolated Inkscape worker, validates the resulting SVG, and returns a download.

Which Illustrator files are supported?

PDF-compatible Illustrator files and older PostScript-based AI files are supported. If the file contains only Adobe's proprietary editing data, resave it with Create PDF Compatible File enabled.

Are Illustrator layers preserved?

Some groups and clipping structures can survive, but SVG and AI do not have identical layer and effect models. Text is converted to paths for portability, and Illustrator-only effects may be approximated.

Is this AI image generation?

No. Here .ai means the Adobe Illustrator file format. The converter preserves existing vector data when possible; it does not generate or retrace the artwork with an AI model.

Is my file stored?

No. Each upload is processed in a short-lived, network-isolated job and its temporary files are deleted immediately after the response.
