Browser-local SVG Processing

The Extract Text utility processes SVG content in your browser. The raw SVG is not uploaded for processing; actual processing time depends on the file and your device. See the Privacy Policy for normal website requests and hosting logs.

About Extract Text

Scan your SVG document hierarchy and extract all string content from `<text>` and `<tspan>` tags into a clean text list. This utility helps developers and localization teams extract copy, captions, and text labels for translation or content auditing. Extracted text items can be copied to your clipboard with a single click.

How It Works

01

Upload or paste your SVG.

02

The utility extracts all text nodes.

03

Copy the extracted text list.

Text inspection notes

Extract Text collects live text content from an SVG so you can audit labels, prepare localization work, or compare a vector export with its intended copy. It distinguishes actual text nodes from text converted into outlines.

What this tool does

  • Finds text in supported <text> and <tspan> elements across the document hierarchy.
  • Returns the strings in a clean list that can be copied into a translation or content workflow.
  • Helps identify whether an export still contains editable text or only path outlines.

Review before publishing

  • Text converted to paths is geometry, not live text, and cannot be recovered as the original wording.
  • Rendered text can depend on fonts, whitespace, xml:space, transforms, and nested tspans.
  • The extracted list does not preserve every visual relationship or reading order decision automatically.

SVG input

<svg><text x='4' y='16'>Hello</text><text x='4' y='32'><tspan>World</tspan></text></svg>

Extracted text

Hello
World

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it extract converted path text?

It extracts text from live text elements (`<text>`, `<tspan>`), not outlines flattened into path data.

Can I export extracted text as a plain text file?

Yes, you can copy the extracted text lines directly to your clipboard or text editor.

Which SVG elements are scanned for text strings?

The tool scans all `<text>`, `<tspan>`, and text container elements throughout the SVG hierarchy.
