SVG Importer
Import SVG files into Unity as lightweight, GPU-friendly meshes. Drop an .svg file into your project and drag it into the scene, or use it in Unity UI, just as you would a sprite. It stays sharp at any size and any zoom.
Installation
Requires Unity 6.0 or newer. In Window → Package Manager, click + → Install package from git URL… and enter:
https://github.com/jaroslavstehlik/svgimporter.git?path=/Packages/com.jaroslavstehlik.svgimporter
Example scenes are in the Samples tab of the package in the Package Manager. See the package README for usage, settings and platforms, and the changelog for what's new in 2.0.
Features
- Files from any vector editor: Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Inkscape, CorelDRAW, Figma and others that export SVG.
- Fast native import, in the Editor and at runtime (
SVGAsset.Load) on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.
- Shapes and strokes: fills and strokes with transparency, holes, symbols, clip paths, masks made of plain opaque shapes, and text, converted to shapes with the installed fonts.
- Exact gradients: linear, radial and conical, with spread methods and focal points, computed per pixel and interpolated in sRGB as browsers do, so they are smooth at any zoom.
- Soft edges: an antialiased edge one screen pixel wide, whatever the transform or camera, without MSAA.
- Every render pipeline: Built-in, URP and the URP 2D Renderer, in Linear and Gamma color spaces.
- Unity's 2D tools: Sorting Layers and Sorting Group, 2D lights, Sprite Masks, 2D physics colliders and the Sprite Editor.
- Unity UI: the SVG Image component, with sliced images.
- Opaque rendering: opaque shapes use the depth buffer, so large scenes draw less.
- Modifiers that change graphics at runtime: color, transform, blur, bones, twirl, sphere and UV.
Not supported
- Filter effects such as blur and drop shadow, patterns, blend modes, SVG animation and embedded images.
- Group opacity is approximate. The Exact Group Opacity import setting matches browsers for groups whose children are opaque.
- Tools that need a
Sprite asset, such as 2D Animation, Sprite Shape and Tilemap. For those files, use Unity's own SVG importer, which you can pick per file.
The Inspector lists the unsupported features a file uses.
Unity 2017
The last version for Unity 2017 is on the legacy/v1 branch.
