Can any SVG be converted losslessly?

No. Filters, masks, text, external resources, and some gradient or transform combinations have different support. Review diagnostics and render the actual converted asset.

What is the difference between viewport and dp size?

The viewport defines drawing coordinates. dp dimensions define the intended Android display size. Keeping one does not automatically establish the other.

Does successful conversion prove API compatibility?

No. The chosen API level guides supported features, but the exported drawable still needs build and rendered checks on your target Android versions.

Graphics compatibility firewall · no silent deletion

Shared paths can cross. SVG as a whole cannot.

VectorDrawable understands a useful subset of SVG geometry and paint, not the full browser rendering language. Conversion begins by classifying every source feature before XML is emitted.

Run a reproducible example

Convert a simple filled path between SVG and Android VectorDrawable while keeping its 24-unit coordinate system.

Using an example replaces the current input, reference input, operation, and options. Public demonstration data only.

Convert a basic SVG path

API 21, 24dp dimensions, one solid path without gradients, masks, or filters.

Input

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path fill="#7C3AED" d="M4 4h16v16H4z"/></svg>

The VectorDrawable keeps the viewport and fill color. More complex SVG features may be rejected or require review.

<vector
android:viewportWidth="24"
android:fillColor="#7c3aed"

Convert the vector back to SVG

Use the matching public VectorDrawable with one filled path.

Input

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:width="24dp" android:height="24dp" android:viewportWidth="24" android:viewportHeight="24"><path android:fillColor="#7C3AED" android:pathData="M4,4h16v16H4z"/></vector>

The SVG keeps a 0 0 24 24 viewBox. This small example is not a general lossless-round-trip guarantee.

<svg
viewBox="0 0 24 24"

How to use Android Vector Asset Bridge

01
Prepare the input
Start with path-based artwork and inspect unsupported SVG features.
02
Choose the operation
Choose the conversion direction, Android API level, and output dimensions.
03
Review the evidence
Render both outputs at target sizes and compare fills, strokes, transforms, and clipping.
