A focused, single-purpose exporter that turns Bezier and Poly curves into SVG with projection, fill, and stroke controls. This is the 1.0.0 initial release, listed as free and released under the GPL v3.0 or later.

What is Export Curve as SVG?

Export Curve as SVG is a Blender add-on from Gilberto.R that adds an exporter for saving selected Bezier and Poly curve objects as SVG (.svg) files. It handles both 2D and 3D curves and lets you pick a projection view: Top, Front, or Side.

Export options include a scale slider, configurable vector fill (none, all, closed curves, or filled 2D curves), and fill colors set to Custom, Object, Material, or Random. Stroke width and stroke color follow the same Custom, Object, Material, or Random choices. To export, select your curve objects, open File > Export > Curve as SVG (.svg), configure the settings, and click Export SVG.

The add-on does not yet support NURBS, the "Curves" object, or Text objects, so those need converting to Bezier curves first, and it ignores modifiers during export. It's compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer, requires no special permissions, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.

Who is Export Curve as SVG best for?

How much does Export Curve as SVG cost?

Frequently asked questions

Does Export Curve as SVG work with Blender 5.0?

Export Curve as SVG is compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer, so you'll need a matching Blender version to install and run it. The add-on is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and requires no special permissions. You can add it by dragging the extension into Blender or installing it from disk, following the standard extension install process linked on the developer's page. Version 1.0.0 is the initial release.

Can Export Curve as SVG export NURBS or Text objects?

Export Curve as SVG works with Bezier and Poly curve objects only. It does not yet support NURBS, the "Curves" object type, or Text objects, so you'll need to convert those to Bezier curves before exporting. The exporter also ignores modifiers, meaning any modifier effects on your curves won't be reflected in the resulting SVG. For the objects it does handle, it covers both 2D and 3D curves.

How do I export a curve with Export Curve as SVG?

Export Curve as SVG runs from Blender's export menu. Select your curve objects, then go to File > Export > Curve as SVG (.svg), configure the export settings, and click Export SVG. Settings include a choice of projection view (Top, Front, or Side), a scale slider, vector fill options, and fill and stroke color and width controls. Remember to convert unsupported object types to Bezier curves first, since the exporter handles Bezier and Poly curves.

Is Export Curve as SVG free to use?

Export Curve as SVG is listed as free here in the catalog, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For current licensing terms and the latest details, check the developer's page. The add-on requires no special permissions, and version 1.0.0 is the initial release. You can download it directly and install it through Blender's standard extension workflow.
