How AI SVG Generation Works
AI SVG Generator uses a unique two-step process: first generating high-quality images with AI, then converting them to scalable vector graphics using advanced algorithms.
Step 1: AI Image Generation
We use the Flux Dev model via Runware to generate high-quality images from your text prompts. The AI creates images optimized for vector conversion with clean edges and solid colors.
- • Flux Dev model (runware:101@1)
- • 1024x1024 resolution output
- • SVG-optimized prompt enhancement
- • Style-specific modifications
Step 2: VTracer Conversion
The generated image is automatically converted to SVG using VTracer WebAssembly technology. You can adjust conversion parameters in real-time for perfect results.
- • WebAssembly-powered VTracer engine
- • Binary and color clustering modes
- • Adjustable precision and quality settings
- • Real-time preview and conversion

Writing Great Prompts for Text-to-SVG
The key to amazing SVG results is writing effective prompts. Here's how to craft prompts that produce professional-quality vector graphics.
Good Prompt Examples
Specific and Descriptive
"A minimalist logo for a tech startup featuring a geometric mountain shape in blue and white"
Style Keywords
"Modern flat design icon of a coffee cup with steam, simple lines, monochromatic"
Clear Purpose
"Professional business card logo: elegant serif letter 'A' in navy blue circle"
Avoid These Mistakes
Too Vague
"Make me a logo" - lacks detail about style, purpose, or appearance
Overly Complex
"A detailed realistic portrait with shadows and textures" - SVGs work best with simple designs
Contradictory
"Minimalist design with lots of details and many colors" - conflicting requirements

Mosaic
Tiled pieces with flat colors per tile and tessellated patterns
None (Default)
Clean straightforward representation without specific style constraints
VTracer Settings & Customization
After generating an image from your prompt, you can fine-tune the SVG conversion using VTracer's advanced settings. The conversion happens automatically, but you can adjust parameters for perfect results.
VTracer Configuration Options
Clustering & Mode
- • Binary mode: Simple black/white conversion
- • Color mode: Full color vectorization
- • Hierarchical: Stacked or cutout layers
- • Path mode: Spline, polygon, or none
Quality & Precision
- • Color precision: 1-8 levels
- • Path precision: 1-16 levels
- • Filter speckle: Remove noise (0-20)
- • Layer difference: Color separation (1-255)
Generate Your Image
Start by entering a text prompt and generating an image. The system automatically creates an initial SVG conversion.
Access SVG Settings Tab
After generation, a new "SVG Settings" tab appears. Click it to access VTracer configuration options.
Adjust & Apply Settings
Fine-tune parameters like color precision, clustering mode, and path settings. Click "Apply Settings" to regenerate the SVG.
