__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An introductory guide to converting each vector-image format to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.SVG&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, using its native application or commonly used software:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 1. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) ==&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Native format:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Already SVG, so no conversion is needed. SVG is a web vector standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 2. AI (Adobe Illustrator Artwork) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Software:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Adobe Illustrator&lt;br /&gt;

# Go to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;File &amp;gt; Save As&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

# Adjust the SVG settings if necessary and click &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;OK&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3. EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) ==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== 10. CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Software:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; CorelDRAW or Inkscape&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;In CorelDRAW:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Open the CGM file in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;CorelDRAW&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
# Go to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;File &amp;gt; Export&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;In Inkscape:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Open the CGM file in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Inkscape&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
# Go to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;File &amp;gt; Save As&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== 11. VML (Vector Markup Language) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Software:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Microsoft Office or Inkscape&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;In Inkscape:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Import the VML file into &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Inkscape&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Note:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; VML is an obsolete format, so using Inkscape is the most common conversion method described here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 12. SWF (Small Web Format) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Software:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Adobe Animate or Inkscape&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;In Inkscape:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Open the SWF file in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Inkscape&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;; SWF support is limited.&lt;br /&gt;
# Save the file as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;SVG&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Alternative method:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Export the SWF file to a vector format, EPS, using &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Adobe Animate&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
# Use Illustrator or Inkscape to convert the EPS to SVG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 13. PLT (Plotter File) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Software:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; HPGL or AutoCAD&lt;br /&gt;
# Convert the PLT file to DXF using plotter software or an online converter.&lt;br /&gt;
# Open the DXF file in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Inkscape&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and save it as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;SVG&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are instructions for converting each format to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;SVG&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; using native or commonly used applications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an introductory guide: there are always other ways to make these conversions, including specialist applications and websites.&lt;br /&gt;
