How to Use the SVG to Draw.io Converter

This tool converts your SVG files or raw SVG code into a custom Draw.io library. Once converted, you'll download a single .xml file ready to import into Draw.io (diagrams.net).

1. Upload or Paste SVG

Choose one of two ways to add your SVGs:

Drag & drop one or multiple .svg files into the upload area.
Or paste SVG code directly and name each shape (e.g. icon-check.svg).

2. Preview & Organize

All uploaded or pasted SVGs appear in a list with thumbnails. You can rename or remove files before generating the library.

3. Generate Library

Click the "Generate Draw.io Library" button. A downloadable .xml file will be created with all your SVGs.

4. Import into Draw.io

Open Draw.io and go to File → Open Library from → Device. Select the downloaded file to start using your custom shapes. Need help? Follow this guide: https://svgtodraw.io/import.html.

SVG vs Draw.io: What's the Difference?

Although both are used in diagramming, SVG and Draw.io serve completely different roles. Here's how they compare:

Aspect	SVG	Draw.io
Type	Vector image format (XML-based)	Diagramming application
Purpose	Creating icons, logos, scalable illustrations	Designing diagrams, flowcharts, UML, mind maps
Editable?	Yes – in text or design tools	Yes – via visual interface
Can Use SVG?	It is SVG	Yes – via import or custom libraries
Output Format	.svg	.drawio, .xml, .png, etc.

What is SVG?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open standard for vector graphics. Unlike raster images, SVGs can be scaled to any size without losing quality. They are ideal for responsive icons, illustrations, UI elements, and logos.

Pros and Cons of SVG

Pros: Resolution-independent, editable, animatable, small file size.
Cons: Not suitable for complex imagery (e.g. photographs), limited in legacy environments.

What is Draw.io?

Draw.io (also known as diagrams.net) is a free online diagram editor used by millions for building flowcharts, UML diagrams, system designs, and more. It's open source, works offline, and supports importing custom libraries.

Pros and Cons of Draw.io

Pros: Free and powerful, works offline, supports cloud storage (Google Drive, GitHub), and imports custom libraries.
Cons: Less flexible for high-fidelity UI/UX mockups compared to tools like Figma or Sketch.

How to Convert SVG to Draw.io Library?

Just upload or paste your SVGs into this app. It instantly transforms them into a downloadable .xml file, which you can import as a custom library in Draw.io. This makes it easy to reuse icons, shapes, or design systems in all your diagrams.
