Convert SVG text to fixed DXF outlines.

Use the exact font when possible

An SVG <text> element is an instruction to find a font and shape characters. The converter first uses a supported font embedded as a data: @font-face. If a face is still missing, choose its TTF, OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2 file. The file is matched to the requested family, weight, style, and stretch—not guessed from its filename.

Font files stay in the current tab or extension panel, are not uploaded, and are cleared when you replace the SVG or close the converter.

When the exact font is unavailable

Use Public Sans for missing fonts is an explicit fallback. It can change letter shapes, spacing, line breaks, and final DXF dimensions, so the result is marked with a warning and lists the replaced faces. You can return to Choose exact fonts at any time.

Supported text profile

The production profile supports nested text spans, internal text paths, common positioning and spacing properties, transforms, rectangular clips, repeated elements, ligatures, Latin, Cyrillic, and single-script Arabic. Vertical writing, mixed bidirectional text, underline/line-through, external resources, and glyphs without vector outlines remain blocked rather than being approximated.

Outline text in the authoring app instead

Manual outlining remains useful when the SVG uses an unsupported text feature. Keep an editable copy first, because outlined text is no longer editable as text.
