#Using inkscape logo as icon free#
We’ve downloaded this free vector icon pack from Vecteezy and opened it in Inkscape. Very frustrating and a lot of time spent in trying to do something that should be easy.Today we’re going to be learning how to take vector graphics and convert them into transparent PNG files in Inkscape. So, in summary, one of these graphics is totally usable and the other isn't - and I don't know why! If I knew, then I would be able to actually create and use icons made from scratch in Inkscape.Īny further help here is greatly appreciated. It might show up on my screen, but the WordPress tool cannot change its colour or anything because, presumably, there's some reference to colour in the SVG file. I can open it up in Inkscape, but it's not unusable in the saved version. On the other hand, here's a file that I believe was originally a PNG, which I converted (via an online utility) to SVG. I've gone further and done some editing in Inkscape by just removing a single element from this file (a rectangular box) and then saving the file.

I can use this file, as is, within the WordPress tool (Elementor) that I'm using to display SVG icons on the website I'm building. Here's an SVG icon graphic that I downloaded from Flaticon. I think I understand the concepts of stroke and fill colours but just don't know how to enable them - or more explicitly, remove them - within Inkscape. Removing both stroke and fill colours gave me a graphic with literally nothing to display. Unfortunately, your strategy didn't work. But we're always here to help if you get stuck ? The tutorials will help you learn the terminology that you need to use the manual. Also don't miss Help menu > Inkscape Manual. In case you were taking the long way around to ask how to use Inkscape, I'll refer you to Inkscape's Help menu > Tutorials > Basics, Shapes, and Advanced (don't worry, the one named advanced really isn't, and in fact is an introduction to the most basic and important parts of vector graphics).

I might choose this way, because then I could save 2 files - one file with the original color (so you can see it if you need to edit) and another file with the proper code which is missing the color values. However, I'm thinking that perhaps whoever told you that meant to manually remove the color value from the SVG file, using a text editor. But the file won't be empty, it will just have an invisible object in it. And then of course the file will appear to be blank, by looking at the canvas. I guess you'd have to remove the stroke right before you save the file. Then there will be no inline color value. The easiest way I can think of is to draw the icons, perhaps using a stroke and no fill, so that you can see what you're doing, and just don't give them any fill color.

Searching on this term with Google, within Inkscape's docs, and in this forum gets me nowhere! I guess it's somewhat obvious that, if I create an icon in Inkscape using black ink that it'll remain that way, but if I remove the colour from the graphic, then what am I left with?!Ĭould someone please tell me - perhaps through a series of simple steps (if nothing else, I can follow good directions!) on how I'd use Inkscape to create/edit and save a simple graphic that has no inline colour in it. What I'm being told is that I have to "remove the inline colour from the SVG graphics" to make them usable. My eventual aim is that the website building tool that I use can then alter them to my needs - size, colour, rotation, etc. As a rule, all are drawn in black because I figure that's the most basic of colours. Some of these illustrations I want to create from scratch and some will have been acquired elsewhere, either as a native SVG or a PNG that I've converted to SVG. I've tried saving them in numerous different formats offered by Inkscape to no avail. I have combed the 'net looking for a straightforward solution to properly formatting and saving simple monochromatic illustrations in Inkscape that can be used as website icons.
