Convert Vector Drawable to SVG

Question

Is there any tool to convert Vector Drawable to SVG? I lost my original svg file and now I would like to reduce the size of the image. Currently, I have,

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="1200dp"
    android:height="1200dp"
    android:viewportHeight="1200"
    android:viewportWidth="1200">

I would like to make it 180x180. Thanks in advance.

do you want to remove some points on your path? change them somehow? or just "scale down"? — pskink, Nov 21 '17 at 12:55
so this is pointless - it does not matter how big your `android:viewportWidth` / `android:viewportHeight` are, as the vector drawable is scalable and can be drawn with any size on the target canvas — pskink, Nov 21 '17 at 12:59
Thanks. I know that. But I am having inflationexception due to using such a big image. There are quite a few posts in stackoverflow. — sadat, Nov 21 '17 at 13:03

For me it didn't support gradients (`` tag in vector drawable), so I couldn't use it in my case – pallgeuer May 15 '21 at 09:21

Have a look at this Convert VectorDrawable to SVG

The Vector Drawable format is pretty similar to SVG. With just a few modifications you can turn your xml drawable back to SVG
