Show HN: Text to SVG – Convert text into SVG instantly

1•scyda•8mo ago

Hi HN,

I'm a new developer and just built a simple web tool: https://text-to-svg.online

It allows users to input any text and download it as an SVG vector graphic. You can customize font, size, and color. No registration, no ads – just a lightweight tool that I hope can help designers or developers quickly create vector text for logos, diagrams, or websites.

I'd really appreciate any feedback – whether it's UX, code structure, or even deployment advice. I'm still learning, so every suggestion helps a lot!

Hello. Nice idea, but there are some problems: - on mobile the interface is hard to use - I think it would be much easier if the sections would be displayed full size, without scroll - why does the SVG include css style and loads the font? It doesn't look like it is used - the stroke size is 0, I think you don't need a color for it - maybe use currentColor so that the color can be changed

Thank you for your feedback. I will continue to improve on the issues mentioned above.

What is the added benefit of using SVG (larger text) compared to just loading the font and using text?

SVG is vector-based, so the text stays crisp no matter how much you zoom in. With regular fonts or Canvas, it can get blurry or pixelated when scaled up.
