SVG STUDIO / V1.0
Ship vectors that
move.
A practical guide to tracing images, validating SVG, and exporting motion-ready XML with ynlinix SVG Studio.
THE BASICS
Conversion without the black box.
ynlinix turns a raster image into a simplified vector scene. The preview always renders the exact SVG serialization that will be downloaded, so there is no fake success state hiding a broken export.
GETTING STARTED
From pixels to a project.
Drop your source
Use PNG, JPG, WEBP, or another browser-readable image.
Set similarity
Raise similarity for denser paths and a closer visual match. Reduce it for a lighter XML.
Generate and compare
Review the before/after slider, then re-export until the result is right.
Download XML Project
The primary XML contains a scene with shapes, transforms, fills, and paths.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1080 1080">
<g fill="rgb(18,24,38)">
<path d="M0 0h12v12H0z" />
</g>
</svg>OUTPUTS
Choose the right format.
Standards-based SVG
Use this when your next tool expects a normal SVG document. It contains inline vector paths, fills, and the required SVG namespace.
Project XML
The primary download. It uses a scene-oriented structure with shape, transform, fillColor, and path elements for an Alight Motion-style workflow.
API REFERENCE
Small endpoints. Clear contracts.
The conversion UI is local-first. These endpoints are provided for health checks and validating SVG received by another client.
/api/health
Returns service name, version, and availability.
{ "ok": true, "service": "ynlinix-svg-studio" }/api/validate
Accepts text/plain SVG or JSON with an svg field.
{ "valid": true, "elements": 12 }TROUBLESHOOTING
When the result needs tuning.
The result looks too blocky
Increase similarity and color palette, then generate again. More detail produces more paths and a larger XML.
The colors look different
Tracing quantizes colors into a limited palette. Increase the palette count or use Image Embed when exact raster fidelity matters more than editability.
Alight Motion does not import it
Confirm that you used Download XML Project, not Download SVG. Import behavior can vary by app version; the generated XML is documented as best-effort.
