Importing SVG into Blender

Blender's SVG import converts vector paths to Blender curves — enabling 3D extrusion, beveling, and rendering of any SVG design.

Importing SVG in Blender

File > Import > Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg).

  • File > Import > Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg)
  • SVG paths import as Blender Curve objects
  • Each SVG layer/group imports as a separate curve
  • Scale: SVG units import at 1px = 1mm by default — scale in Blender after import
  • Apply scale (Ctrl+A > Scale) after rescaling to normalize the transform

Extruding SVG Curves in Blender

Convert SVG curves to 3D objects with Fill and Extrude.

  • Select the curve → Properties > Object Data Properties (curve icon)
  • Set Fill Mode: Front (for flat shape) or Full (for 3D extrusion)
  • Extrude: increase Extrude value to push the shape into 3D
  • Bevel: add rounded edge to the extrusion with Bevel Depth
  • Convert to mesh: Object > Convert > Mesh — for further polygon modeling

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use complex SVG logos in Blender?

Yes — Blender handles complex SVG paths. Very complex paths with thousands of nodes may slow viewport performance. Simplify in Inkscape before importing for better performance.

How do I make a 3D text effect from SVG in Blender?

Create the text layout in Illustrator or Inkscape, convert text to paths, export SVG. Import into Blender, extrude the curve, add a bevel for 3D chamfered edges, and apply materials.

Does Blender support SVG animation?

SVG animation doesn't import into Blender — only the static path geometry. Create 3D animations in Blender using its own keyframe animation system after importing the SVG geometry.

How do I use an SVG as a texture in Blender?

Convert SVG to a high-resolution PNG (at your required texture resolution), then use the PNG as a texture in Blender's Shader Editor. SVG can't be used directly as a texture.

Why is my SVG very small after importing into Blender?

SVG pixels are interpreted as mm. A 1000px wide SVG imports as 1000mm (1 meter). Scale down by 0.001 in Blender and Apply Scale (Ctrl+A). Alternatively, resize the SVG to your target size in Inkscape before importing.
