About this tool
AI is the Adobe Illustrator format; since Illustrator 9 an AI file carries a PDF version of the artwork inside. SVGZ is an SVG drawing compressed with gzip – the same drawing in a much smaller file.
This converter turns your AI file into SVGZ, the right choice for storing and sending SVG drawings in a smaller file that Inkscape and Illustrator open directly. Paths, shapes, colours, gradients and text are taken over as vectors, so the SVGZ file stays sharp at any size and can still be edited. Add up to 10 files at once – each one is converted in the background, so you can keep using the site and download every result as soon as it is ready.
Drawings are converted on our server: the upload starts only after you confirm, the original is deleted after conversion and the result is kept for 6 hours unless you delete it sooner.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert AI to SVGZ?
Choose or drop your AI file, keep SVGZ as the output and click Convert. After you confirm the upload, our server converts the file and shows the progress; then you download the SVGZ file.
Can I convert several AI files at once?
Yes. Add up to 10 files at a time. Each gets its own background job with its own progress, and you can download each result as soon as it is finished.
How large can the file be?
Each file can be up to 100 MB.
What happens to my file?
It is uploaded only after you confirm. The original is deleted as soon as the conversion is finished, and the SVGZ file is kept for 6 hours so you can download it – you can delete it yourself at any time.
Is the AI to SVGZ converter free?
Yes. It is free, without sign-up and without a watermark.
Will the SVGZ file still be a vector drawing?
Yes. Paths, shapes, colours and text stay vectors, so you can scale and edit the result. Effects that SVGZ cannot describe – such as some blends, filters or embedded fonts – may be simplified, so check the result.
Which Illustrator files can be opened?
Every AI file saved with “Create PDF Compatible File” (the default since Illustrator 9), and old PostScript-based AI files. A file saved without the PDF part can only be opened by Illustrator itself – save it again with that option turned on.
