Convert Vector Drawable to SVG

Question

Is there any tool to convert Vector Drawable to SVG? I lost my original svg file and now I would like to reduce the size of the image. Currently, I have,

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="1200dp"
    android:height="1200dp"
    android:viewportHeight="1200"
    android:viewportWidth="1200">

I would like to make it 180x180. Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Have a look at this Convert VectorDrawable to SVG

The Vector Drawable format is pretty similar to SVG. With just a few modifications you can turn your xml drawable back to SVG

Credits to this guy who made this python script that coverts xml drawables back to SVG https://gitlab.com/Hyperion777/VectorDrawable2Svg

Solution 2

Look at this Shapeshifter

Shapeshifter tool can import VectorDrawable XML file and export back to SVG file

do you want to remove some points on your path? change them somehow? or just "scale down"?

I just wanna scale it down.

[pskink]

so this is pointless - it does not matter how big your android:viewportWidth / android:viewportHeight are, as the vector drawable is scalable and can be drawn with any size on the target canvas

Cant you just edit and width to 800dp to reduce its size?

Thanks. I know that. But I am having inflationexception due to using such a big image. There are quite a few posts in stackoverflow.

Does the solution have to be trough code ?

[NoHarmDan]

By far the fastest and easiest solution

For me it didn't support gradients (<gradient> tag in vector drawable), so I couldn't use it in my case
