Collapse SVG to a single path | Enigmeta

Very useful tool: just upload an SVG and it will attempt to output the file as a single path 👍 Fantastic for converting icon libraries for design systems.

UPDATE 23/07/21

Some additional tips if an uploaded SVG can't be recognised:

  • Remove all colour overrides and/or set all fill values to use black (#000000)
  • Run through SVGOMG! and strip out as many superfluous sections as possible, including doctype and styles
  • Open in an SVG editor (e.g. Illustrator), select all paths and collapse/group/make a compound path (or all three if possible 😂)
  • If all else fails, still in an SVG editor, go through and delete any clip-path layers, group layers, etc. until only one layer is left (should be a path layer, possibly nested within a blank layer called something like "Layer 1", if using Illustrator)

If that doesn't work, despair... 😉
