Thought it would be cool to add a self-drawing SVG animation to my portfolio, but it took some time to figure out. anime.js has this feature, but getting it to work properly and converting an image into a clean SVG paths (with the right threshold and other settings) may take some time. So I built a tool for it.

You drop in a photo or logo -> it converts it into SVG paths -> animates those paths(they draw themselves like a pen sketch)

features/how to use

• upload an image and it converts into single-color SVG line art
• choose custom path and background colors
• adjust the trace settings: threshold(usually 100 works best), invert dark/light
• control the animation: duration(in ms), delay between paths, easing, direction (forward/reverse/ping-pong), looping, fade-in fill at the end
• Export as copy-paste SVG, a downloadable SVG file, or a self-contained HTML file with everything included

Works best with illustrations, cartoons, and clean line drawings. Real-world photos can be harder to convert into clear SVG paths

• Live demo: https://img2svg-animation.vercel.app/

Open to feedback or suggestions if you have any
