Convert TTF to SVG

TTF to SVG Conversion functionality for C# .NET. API to transform fonts.

Even though TTF is a more used, supported, and compact format than SVG, there are a few reasons that may force you to convert one into another. TTF fonts are designed for specific pixel sizes. When scaled, they may lose some visual quality and sharpness, especially when magnified significantly. SVG fonts are resolution-independent and can be scaled infinitely without any loss of quality making them ideal for responsive design and high-resolution displays. As SVG fonts are based on vector graphics they are more editable and customizable. Yiu can modify them with standard vector editing software. But keep in mind that SVG fonts are supported by most modern web browsers but some older browsers may have limited or no support for SVG fonts, so you would better have fallback fonts of other format if you want to use SVG.

TTF What is TTF File Format

TrueType Font format or TTF is by now the most popular. This format was first developed by Apple and nowadays it is used in Microsoft and Apple operating systems. TTF font uses special techniques to supply the high-quality rendering of the font on devices with low screen resolution. It uses the developed tool of instructions that allow fonts to have similar to bitmap fonts quality.

SVG What is SVG File Format

SVG or Scalable Vector Graphics font is a type of font format that is based on the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) standard which is an XML-based language aimed to describe two-dimensional vector graphics. On contrary to TrueType or OpenType, which are based on raster graphics and can become pixelated when scaled up, SVG fonts are scaled up losslessly.
