Convert SVG to OTF

What is SVG file?

The SVG file extension stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, and is a type of two-dimensional file used to add animation and static graphics to webpages. The graphics are a part of the Open XML standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium, meaning that images can be shared between multiple web browsers. It supports multiple vector and raster graphic formats, including text, images, 3D graphics, and animation. [ ⏩ ] SVG file extension

What is OTF file?

OTF or OpenType Font file extension is used by several font-related software including Adobe and Microsoft. It is a vector format of a font that contains both the shape and size of each character. OTF is an extension of the .TTF TrueType font format developed by Apple Computer.

How to convert the file from SVG to OTF?

To successfully convert the SVG file to OTF, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.SVG). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case OTF (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than OTF).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SVG to OTF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting SVG files to OTF files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension OTF, while before this step we had the SVG file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new OTF file, or not.
