StarVector is a multimodal vision-language model (VLM) designed specifically for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) generation. It can produce high-precision, semantically rich SVG code through both Image-to-SVG and Text-to-SVG methods. Unlike traditional curve vectorization techniques, StarVector operates directly at the SVG code level, allowing it to accurately utilize SVG primitives (such as ellipses, rectangles, polygons, and text), thus avoiding common distortions and artifacts seen in conventional methods.
StarVector employs a multimodal architecture capable of processing both images and text as inputs:
The model is built upon StarCoder, enabling it to transfer coding capabilities to the SVG generation domain, ensuring concise and syntactically correct code.
Traditional SVG generation methods, such as AutoTrace, Potrace, and VTracer, primarily rely on curve fitting and lack semantic understanding of images. This often results in distorted or overly complex path data, making it difficult to handle complex SVG elements.
StarVector’s advantages:

data.Many previous SVG generation methods relied on pixel-level evaluation metrics (e.g., MSE), which fail to measure the true semantic accuracy of SVGs. To address this, the StarVector team developed SVG-Bench, a benchmark specifically designed to assess SVG generation quality, covering 10 datasets and 3 types of SVG generation tasks:
Currently, StarVector offers two model versions, both available for download on Hugging Face:
In SVG-Bench testing, StarVector outperformed all baseline models in DinoScore metrics:

Note: StarVector is not designed for natural images or illustrations since its training data primarily consists of icons, technical diagrams, charts, and logos.
StarVector’s training data comes from SVG-Bench, a specialized dataset for SVG generation models, covering 10 sub-datasets, each targeting different SVG generation scenarios:

SVGs play a crucial role in icons, branding, technical diagrams, and map design. StarVector is currently the most advanced Image-to-SVG and Text-to-SVG generation model. Compared to traditional curve-fitting methods, it offers:
✅ Semantic Understanding, ensuring accurate image structure recognition
✅ Concise Code, generating more efficient SVGs
✅ More Accurate Evaluation Metrics, overcoming pixel-based limitations
✅ Support for Hugging Face training & testing, available for developers
StarVector makes AI-generated SVGs more precise and reliable, opening up new possibilities for vector graphics applications. 💡
