I have been using GIMP for well over 10 years now, using it for all kinds of work. I had no idea it would allow me to export SVG! Thanks a million!

[rainboemonk]

Thanks! I opened an .eps file in GIMP (2.10.8, without Ghostscript), selected the part I wanted, created a path from it, exported my path to SVG, opened my svg in an IDE and tweaked the settings.

Thank you so much. I used this to create my new business logo into Darktable.

This video doesn't just tell you where to point and click. it also tells you why 👍👍

This is one of the most well-presented videos on GIMP. Good job!
It's a pity you do not specialize in GIMP tutorials.

Best GIMP tutorial I've seen yet.

For the second logo that you tried selecting - why not selcting the white and then invert the selection? No need to simplify the colours for that:3

Why when I take a solid object like a skill white skull black background, or I switch the two colors or even use a alpha background I only get a wire frame of the object not a solid object I even selected the object and inverted my selection I still only ever get a outline of the picture ?

Is their a way to store multiple paths in one file. For example, the two color logo in the video having both the black and white paths saved as one file, or will you always have to make induvial SVG files for each color or texture used?

This was an awesome format for this information. Since it was a complete walk through and how-to rather than just a boiled down summary, I actually caught a couple other techniques in the video that I had not thought of that when playing with some images later proved very useful. I also really appreciate when a video doesn't have to be filled with social media hype and sponsorships. Don't mind them, but nice to get a break from it too :)

I don't have a Mac I have a window so the keys wouldn't make sense for me

When i exported the image lost its colors and just the lines stayed...
What did i do wrong?

[gargomesh]

literally a home depot training video.

So how do you export the paths as an .svg from GIMP? I have GIMP, but it doesn't even have an .svg extension as an option for exporting. I'm so confused right now.

[FreedomstCenturi]

That's all well and good, but how do you live with only 1 mouse button?

[plymrph]

Tried this and it just exported the outline and lost all of the colours

[ryanwolf]

Yes, And if It exports as only "File" instead of SVG file. Just save as Image.SVG so it can save as SVG. it dosnt give me the option to select SVG for export. so you have to write .SVG so it can export to SVG

[onjofilms]

wow, even at 4K resolution, I can't read the program lettering. Did you downres or something before uploading?

[copingflower]

this whole svg stuff is so confusing, even I'm struggling with it, not to mention there are surprisingly not that many tutorials online that are straight forward with understanding how to do this

I don't have cmd button in my keyboard
