SVG for vector motion
Animated SVG retains vector geometry and uses browser-native animation. Confirm that your destination supports animated SVG; some upload services strip its animation elements.
CleanVector / vector utilities
SVG animation maker. A little motion, ready to use.
Animate an SVG logo, icon or illustration with six focused presets. Adjust timing and easing in the live preview, then export an animated SVG for the web or a GIF for tools that need a raster animation.

Your preview will appear here.
SVG stays vector. GIF is 480 px on its longest edge, with 256 colours and binary transparency. Transparent fades use a dotted dissolve; choose a solid background for smoother fades. Delay repeats on every loop. Artwork gets padding for motion.
The live animation preview runs in your browser. SVG and GIF exports are processed on our server after the plan check; exports are not saved to your library.
How to use SVG Animation
Add vector artwork
Upload or paste a vector-only SVG, or start with the line-art sample. Outline live text and trace embedded images before animating.
Choose the movement
Pick draw, fade in, rotate, pulse, bounce or float. Set a duration from 0.5 to 6 seconds, easing, looping and an optional delay of up to 2 seconds.
Preview, then export
Pause and scrub the preview to check a frame. With Starter, Plus or Pro, choose animated SVG or GIF and download the result without spending generation credits.
An inspectable example
A static icon, with a floating loop.
We exported the line-art sample with the Float preset, a two-second duration and no delay. The preview below is a still frame; download the animated SVG or GIF to see the motion without autoplay on this page.

Before you export
What to expect from the output
GIF for raster destinations
GIF is rendered at 480 px on its longest edge, with 256 colors. It uses binary transparency; a solid background produces smoother fades than a transparent dotted dissolve.
Presets, not a timeline
Effects apply to the artwork as a whole. This tool does not offer keyframe editing, character rigging, path morphing, Lottie, MP4 or React animation code.
Common questions
SVG Animation FAQ
Can I animate an SVG for free?
You can upload, adjust presets and preview without a paid plan. Downloading animated SVG or GIF requires Starter, Plus or Pro. Exporting does not use generation credits.
How do I convert SVG to an animated GIF?
Load vector-only artwork, select a motion preset and choose GIF as the download format. The server renders the frames into a 480 px GIF. This is a preset animation of your artwork, not a conversion of an existing SVG timeline.
Why does the draw effect not animate my filled logo?
Draw follows existing stroked SVG paths. Filled shapes stay filled; the tool does not discover a drawing order or create outlines automatically. Use a stroked-path source or choose another effect.
Can I export a Lottie animation?
No. The supported formats are animated SVG and GIF. Lottie is a different animation format and is not produced by this tool.
What files are supported?
Use vector-only SVGs up to 400 KB and 1,500 elements, with an aspect ratio between 1:10 and 10:1. Live text, raster images and filters need to be resolved before animation. Existing scripts and animation instructions are removed during cleanup.
