Export Vector Layers from PSD as SVG
PSD files can contain vector shape layers — these export as clean SVG paths.
- In Photoshop: right-click a vector shape layer > Export As > SVG
- Or: File > Export > Export As > SVG (exports all vector layers as one SVG)
- Vector text layers: convert to shape first (Type > Convert to Shape) before SVG export
- Raster layers: don't export as SVG — use the PNG+imagetosvg.com workflow for those
Raster PSD Content to SVG
For PSD designs built primarily with raster layers (photos, adjustments, filters).
- Flatten the PSD: Layer > Flatten Image
- File > Export > Export As > PNG (at 100% size)
- Upload the PNG to imagetosvg.com and convert to SVG
- Best for: simple flat-color PSD designs with limited raster complexity
- Not for: photo-heavy or complex filter-based PSD designs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert a Photoshop PSD directly to SVG?
For vector shape layers: yes, directly from Photoshop's Export As > SVG. For raster-based PSD (photos, most complex designs): export as PNG then convert to SVG at imagetosvg.com.
Does converting PSD to SVG preserve all layers?
Vector shape layers export as separate SVG paths. Raster layers, adjustment layers, and effects don't export as vector — they either rasterize or are lost in SVG export.
Why is my PSD SVG export missing elements?
Raster layers (photos, pixel-painted content, most filters) don't convert to SVG paths — they either get dropped or rasterized. Only native Photoshop vector shape layers export as true SVG vectors.
What Photoshop tools create vector layers for SVG export?
Shape tool (U), Pen tool path-based shapes, and Type layers converted to shapes all create vector content that exports as SVG. Brush strokes, photos, and smart objects export as raster.
