# Does Google Slides™ support SVG?

No. Google Slides doesn't keep SVG files as editable vectors. Your options are to flatten the SVG into a PNG, or convert it through EMF and Google Drawings. SVG to Slides converts the file into Slides' native shape format, so it stays editable.

## Flattened vs. converted

| Pasted as PNG (default) | Inserted with SVG to Slides |
|---|---|
| Blurs or pixelates when resized | Resizes at any size, always crisp |
| One flattened image, single object | Every path is its own selectable shape |
| Can't recolour without re-exporting | Recolour any shape directly in Slides |
| Can't animate individual elements | Animate each shape independently |
| Can't edit points or paths | Right-click → Edit points, like any native shape |

## Questions

### Can you import an SVG into Google Slides?
Not as editable vector shapes. Install the SVG to Slides Chrome extension and drag the file onto a slide, or upload it at svgslid.es/convert. Both turn every path into a native Slides shape.

### Why does my SVG look blurry in Google Slides?
It's been flattened into a raster image, so it pixelates when you resize it. Converted with SVG to Slides, it stays a vector and every edge stays sharp.

### What happens to gradients and complex curves?
Solid fills and strokes convert cleanly. Arc commands are converted into smooth curves. Gradients come through in the online converter; in the Chrome extension and add-on they currently collapse to a single solid colour.

### Do the converted shapes work in Google Drawings?
Yes. The native shapes also work in Google Drawings.
