How to convert paper drawings to SVG using Figma

The process is really simple and can be done by anyone. Drawing however isn't anyone's piece of cake. I hope this post helps the talented people who can draw amazing stuff on paper to digitize and even animate their content.

TLDR; Tracing using Figma

Step 1: Draw

Of course you need a source image. Draw the shape you're looking to vectorize on paper. I can't draw, so I asked @smearthelove to help me out with this part

Step 2: Take a picture

Next up, take a picture using your phone and send that to your workstation.
A trick to take better pictures without using a scanner would be via the Office Lens app(optional).

Step 3: Place the image in Figma

Figma is a free design tool that runs in the browser. Open a new document then drag and drop your image. It's ideal to separate each drawing on it's own layer before proceeding. Duplicate the layers and crop every shape until they're on different layers. You don't have to do this if you have just one image of course.

Step 4: Image Tracer Plugin for Figma

Install the Image Tracer plugin by navigating to figma.com/c

Select an image and apply the Image Tracer plugin by selecting it from the menu.

Image Tracer for Figma

The plugin does what you would normally require a license and installation of Adobe Illustrator to achieve this. This right here, works in the browser and accessible within seconds to anyone. Open Source is amazing ! Image Tracer was created by David Williames.

You now have a vectorized version of the previously bitmap image at your disposal.

Step 5: Export to SVG

Export the image as SVG using the export feature of figma at the bottom right corner.

You can now use the SVG in a webpage via an img tag or by adding the SVG inline.

Here's how the inline SVG looks like :

Step 6 : Optimizing your SVG

As you can imaging that's a lot of data and has a filesize of 17KB on disk.

Jake Archibald's tool called SVGOMG is my go-to when i need to optimize SVG for web. You only need to copy past the the SVG code and it will do the rest.

The new file on disk is now only 7KB and it's a lot less code.
