About

SVG Draw takes the vector file you already have, the logo your designer sent, your signature, that napkin sketch you swear is a logo, and draws it onto your video one stroke at a time. Lines trace along their path. Filled shapes get an outline drawn around them first, then fill in. Or let the pieces pop, grow, wipe or fade on, in whatever order you like: left to right, reading order, from the center out, at random. Put a pen in the frame doing the drawing, a pencil, a marker, a fountain pen, chalk, a brush, a glowing spark, a comet, or a picture of your own hand. 18 looks get you there in one click, and it's a Title, so it sits over your footage like any other title. Runs in Final Cut Pro and Motion.

Then finish it off: an outline, a drop shadow, a glow in your logo's own colors, and a hot edge that burns along the line as it draws and cools down behind it. At the end of the clip it can un-draw itself, in reverse or in any style, and it always lands on the last frame, so trimming the clip moves the exit with it. The artwork is stored in your project, so the original file can go wherever it wants and the clip keeps drawing.

Your logo, drawn on

Every clip on this page is a render of SVG Draw's own drawing engine on a made-up logo, so what you see is what the plugin draws. Load a file and this is what a fresh clip does: outlines draw around each shape, left to right, then the shapes fill in. Your file draws its own way, a logo made of filled shapes gets the outline treatment, a file made of lines gets traced.

Default A fresh clip, nothing touched but the file.

Logo looks

One click for a logo sting: pops, wipes, builds and reveals, with a matching exit when you want one.

Logo Reveal Every piece pops in with a little bounce and lands with a soft shadow.
Blueprint Blue construction lines go around every filled shape and stay, then the color fills in.
Clean Wipe The whole logo is revealed by one clean wipe. Quick and classy.
Center Burst Each shape opens out from its own middle.
Build Up Shapes grow into place from the bottom of the logo to the top.
In and Out Draws on, holds, then leaves the way it came, finishing on the clip's last frame.

A pen doing the drawing

Six realistic pens, plus a spark and a comet, or a picture of your own hand. The pen rides the line, lifts and glides between strokes, and leaves the frame when it's done.

Whiteboard A marker draws the sketch and glides between lines.
Signature A fountain pen writes it on and fades away at the end.
Sketchbook A pencil sketches it in.
Chalkboard Chalk outlines every filled shape in white, and the line stays on.
Ink Brush A brush outlines every filled shape in black ink.
Notebook Doodle A ballpoint outlines it in blue, like a doodle in the margin.

Glow and FX

Glow in your logo's own colors, a hot edge that cools behind the line, and pens that throw sparks.

Neon Sign Each part glows in its own color while the line burns hot, like neon tubes flickering on.
Sparkler A sparkler writes it on, throwing sparks.
Comet Trail A comet with a long tail draws each piece and glides to the next.
Hot Wire A long glowing trail follows the line and cools slowly behind it.
Sticker The whole logo slaps on with a bounce, a thick white border and a shadow.

What it does

The draw works the second you load a file. The finish is there when you want it.

Eight ways to draw it

Trace, Trace Outline, Wipe, Center Out, Outside In, Pop, Fade and Grow. Draw the whole graphic at once, by layer, by shape or piece by piece, in twelve different orders.

A pen in the frame

Pencil, marker, ballpoint, fountain pen, brush, chalk, a glowing spark, a comet, or a picture of your own hand. It rides the line and glides between strokes.

Outline, shadow and glow

Each one grows along with the drawing. Glow can use your logo's own colors for the neon-sign look.

Hot Edge

The line glows as it's drawn and cools down behind the drawing point, as fast or as slow as you like.

Draw off

Un-draw at the end of the clip, in reverse or in any style. It lands on the last frame, so trimming the clip moves the exit with it.

18 looks, plus your own

Hand-Drawn, Logo and Glow and FX looks in one click. Save your own and they follow you to every project. You can even send one to a friend.

Common questions

What files does it take?

SVG, including .svgz. Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape, Affinity, Sketch and Canva all export it. Got an Illustrator, PDF or EPS file? Export it as SVG from your design app first. Text in the file is turned into shapes, and photos placed inside an SVG aren't drawn.

My logo is all filled shapes. Will it still draw on like a line drawing?

Yes, that's the default. Trace Outline draws a line around each filled shape first, then fills it in. Most logos are built exactly that way, so a fresh clip handles it out of the box.

What do I get in the free trial?

Every style, pen, look and preset. The catch: once a file is loaded, a tile of Herbistry leaf watermarks covers the frame and the word TRIAL flashes across it every few seconds. Great for auditioning, not for a clean export.

Does it work for vertical video?

Yes. It lays itself out to your project's frame, wide 16:9, vertical 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, or square, and the art stays centered in any of them.
