Choose a suitable MP4
Start with a short logo loop, mascot gesture or motion graphic. One subject, flat colors and a simple background give the conversion less detail to approximate. Standard conversion is a practical starting point; gradients, texture and multiple subjects may require cleanup.
Convert, preview, then Quick Edit
- Open the editor and choose your MP4.
- Run local conversion and compare the result with the source.
- Select a path to recolor, hide, move, scale or rotate it. Check which matching frames an edit affects.
- Preview playback before exporting.
The result is a frame-based vector animation. Traced paths are color regions, not automatically recognized semantic parts.
Export an animated SVG or SVGZ
Animated SVG keeps the motion in a single vector asset. SVGZ is the primary export: gzip-compressed SVG. Serve SVGZ with Content-Type: image/svg+xml and Content-Encoding: gzip, or export plain SVG when your host cannot set those headers.
Save SceneDoc to keep an editable project. Lottie JSON is an experimental compatibility export for supported scenes; verify it in your target player.
Local processing and realistic expectations
The standard workflow runs in your browser without requiring a video upload. Experimental cloud processing is a separate opt-in path. Keep your own project backup: browser storage is local and can be cleared.
Not every clip becomes a small or clean vector file. Review contours, colors and file size using your own source material.
