If you are developing / using OmniSVG in your projects, or you want to contribute to OmniSVG, please let us know 🎉.
OmniSVG is the first family of end-to-end multimodal SVG generators that leverage pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs), capable of generating complex and detailed SVGs, from simple icons to intricate anime characters. We also introduce MMSVG-2M, a multimodal dataset with two million richly annotated SVG assets, along with a standardized evaluation protocol for conditional SVG generation tasks.

The dependencies configured according to the following instructions provide an environment equipped for inference
git clone https://github.com/OmniSVG/OmniSVG.git
cd OmniSVG
Create and activate a new conda environment with Python 3.10:
conda create -n omnisvg python=3.10
conda activate omnisvg
Before installing Python packages, you need to install Cairo library which is required by CairoSVG in our dependencies:
macOS:
brew install cairo
Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libcairo2 libcairo2-dev
Note: Installing Cairo system library beforehand helps prevent potential build errors when installing
CairoSVGvia pip.
We have tested our environment with CUDA 12.1. You can install CUDA 12.1 by following the CUDA Toolkit installation guide.
Install PyTorch with CUDA 12.1 support:
pip install torch==2.3.0+cu121 torchvision==0.18.0+cu121 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
Install remaining dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
| GPU Memory Usage | Time per 256/512/1024/2048/4096 tokens | |
|---|---|---|
| OmniSVG1.1_8B | 26G | 5.38/9.02/20.11/40.34/98.11 seconds |
| OmniSVG1.1_4B | 17G | 4.08/8.68/18.07/37.51/82.70 seconds |
| OmniSVG-3B | 17G | 4.08/8.68/18.07/37.51/82.70 seconds |
Note: The inference time shown here is measured per OmniSVG SVG tokens, while the inference time reported in our paper is measured per XML code tokens for fair comparison with baseline methods.
Download Model Weights
First, install the Hugging Face CLI tool:
pip install huggingface-hub
Download the model from Hugging Face:
# Download OmniSVG1.1-8B
huggingface-cli download OmniSVG/OmniSVG1.1_8B --local-dir /PATH/TO/OmniSVG1.1_8B
# Download OmniSVG1.1-4B
huggingface-cli download OmniSVG/OmniSVG1.1_4B --local-dir /PATH/TO/OmniSVG1.1_4B
# Download OmniSVG-3B (legacy)
huggingface-cli download OmniSVG/OmniSVG --local-dir /PATH/TO/OmniSVG-3B
Basic usage - Generate SVG from txt file:
python inference.py --task text-to-svg --input prompts.txt --output ./output_text --save-all-candidates
Use 4B model:
python inference.py --task text-to-svg --input prompts.txt --output ./output_text --model-size 4B --save-all-candidates
Generate more candidates and save PNG:
python inference.py --task text-to-svg --input prompts.txt --output ./output_text \
--num-candidates 8 --save-png --save-all-candidates
Custom generation parameters:
python inference.py --task text-to-svg --input prompts.txt --output ./output_text \
--temperature 0.5 --top-p 0.9 --top-k 50 --repetition-penalty 1.05
Use local model:
python inference.py --task text-to-svg --input prompts.txt --output ./output_text \
--model-path /path/to/qwen --weight-path /path/to/omnisvg
python inference.py --task image-to-svg --input ./examples --output ./output_image --save-all-candidates
We provide an interactive generation interface using Gradio:

We provide MMSVGBench for standardized evaluation of SVG generation models.
Download MMSVGBench:
huggingface-cli download OmniSVG/MMSVGBench --repo-type dataset --local-dir /PATH/TO/MMSVGBench
MMSVGBench is a purely synthetic benchmark where all prompts and images are generated using GPT models, ensuring the data is unseen during model training for fair generalization evaluation. The generation procedure MMSVGBench's prompt is logged, for example the text2svg prompt log.
| Task | Complexity Level | Samples | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Text-to-SVG | Icon | 150 | Simple icons (1-2 elements) |
| Text-to-SVG | Illustration | 150 | Complex illustrations (1-3 interacting elements) |
| Image-to-SVG | Icon | 150 | GPT-4o generated icon images |
| Image-to-SVG | Illustration | 150 | GPT-4o generated illustration images |
Key Advantages of Synthetic Design:
- ✅ True generalization test — models cannot have seen these samples during training
- ✅ Controlled diversity — systematic coverage of styles and semantic categories
- ✅ Fairness — no model has unfair advantage from training data overlap
The evaluation code is available in the metrics directory. For more details about MMSVGBench construction and evaluation metrics, please check MMSVGBench.

We thank the following excellent open-source works:
IconShop: is the first advanced work that leverages LLMs to generate monochrome, icon-level SVGs. We referred to its parametric implementation.
Here is the list of highly related concurrent works:
LLM4SVG: treats SVG coordinates as number strings and predicts decimal part for higher spatial accuracy.
StarVector: equips LLM with an image encoder for Image-to-SVG generation.
