How to download your SVG
After running the API, you’ll see your vectorized result displayed. To download the SVG file:
- Look for the download button ⬇️ below the output image
- Click the download button to save the SVG file to your computer
- Use your SVG in design software, websites, or for printing!
Note: If you click on the SVG preview and see XML code instead of an image, that’s normal! Use the download button to get the proper SVG file that will work perfectly in all applications.
