Question 1

What is an SVG text file?

Accepted Answer

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) stores text as vector paths rather than pixels, so it stays crisp at any size. The text remains editable in design tools like Figma, Illustrator and Inkscape.

Question 2

Can I use my own font?

Accepted Answer

The dropdown lists the common web-safe fonts available on your system. The font name is written into the SVG so any viewer that has the same font renders identically.

Question 3

How do gradients and strokes work?

Accepted Answer

You can pick a solid fill or a two-stop linear gradient, set the angle, and add an optional stroke (outline) with its own color and width. The preview updates instantly as you change any value.

Question 4

Does this tool upload my text?

Accepted Answer

No. All rendering happens locally in your browser using the SVG DOM. Your text never leaves your computer.
