How to Convert PSD to SVG

SVG describes images as mathematical shapes rather than pixels, which is why it's the standard for logos and icons that need to scale cleanly. PSD, once flattened, is still a raster format made of fixed pixels, so converting a PSD design to SVG doesn't vectorize the actual content — instead, the flattened image is embedded inside an SVG container using a base64-encoded element, producing a valid SVG file without converting the design into true vector shapes.

This is mainly useful when a specific tool, plugin, or platform requires an SVG file as input even though the underlying content is a raster design, since the wrapped image displays correctly wherever SVG is expected. For a true vector conversion of a logo originally designed in Photoshop, dedicated vectorization software is the better tool for that specific job.

1. Install Batchify Image Converter and Resizer Pro on your Windows PC. Photoshop is not required.
2. Open the app and select Batch Mode for multiple files, or Individual Mode for a single PSD.
3. Drag your PSD file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
4. Set the "From" format to PSD and the "To" format to SVG.
5. Click Convert. Each PSD's visible layers are flattened and embedded into a valid SVG container, fully offline.

• No Photoshop license required to export PSD files
• Preserves transparency from visible layers where present
• Produces SVG files compatible with tools that specifically require SVG input
• Bulk-convert entire project folders in a single batch job
• Multi-core processing for fast handling of large batches
• Runs fully offline, keeping unreleased design work private
