SVG Tips

[DanH]

I'm using an Adobe free svg converter. It works but my logo always has a background which I obviously don' want. It's a really simple logo. I've made pngs with alpha backgrounds etc. Am I doing it wrong?

[d.healey]

@DanH Are you converting a raster image to an svg?

[DanH]

@d-healey yup

[d.healey]

@DanH Depending on the complexity of the design you might get a better result by tracing it manually - or hire someone on Fiverr to do it.

@DanH If you use the logo without bg but still have issues, try making whole logo as a compound path before exporting svg.

@lalalandsynth Which software are you usign for designing svg? In Illustrator, you need to convert all of the paths as an unified compound path. If you don't...

If you still have issues, send me the logo I can make it for you

[DanH]

@d-healey It comes out fine, it's just the background that's there. I'm not sure why. Might ask @orange to make it for me instead

[DanH]

@orange I can't get the fuzzy tool in Gimp to select the logo, no idea why it won't work. If you're up for helping I will happily send it to you!!

[orange]

@DanH send the svg file I will do it for you

@DanH > I can't get the fuzzy tool in Gimp to select the logo,

If you're trying to manipulate the SVG in GIMP you probably won't get very far, GIMP is for raster although it does have some SVG uses.

[Natan]

Select the Logo , and then Hit Ctrl + 8, it'll Make the SVG Art Into 1 Path.
Or Use Pathfinder Window, and Then use thr tools to make the SVG into 1 Shape, and 1 Path.

This will shorten your Svg code Too.

@Natan where? Gimp? Pc / Mac?

@DanH This is what I do in Adobe Illustrator:

Expand > Unite Paths > Make Compound Path > SVG Export to Projucer or Hise SVG Converter

Thanks Buddy for the video, This is Exactly what i do.
Just Instead of using menus, Just Shortcuts :)

@DanH I Use Ai buddy, Just follow @orange Guides and youre all set

Tip: you can Drag &Drop the SVG Files into the Projucer Window, No need to copy and Paste the Path, it will create the Hise Path, Automatically for you ️
