why am I losing content when I convert a file from .ps to .svg

Question

I need icons for a site I'm having developed, and therefore I need .svg files. I have a .psd file that I save as a .ps file. I then attempt to use cloudconvert.org to convert the .ps file to .svg. The problem is that it fails to capture the whole image -- only leaving about 40% of the original. What can I do??

Answer 1

Assuming you have the Adobe suite, you can use Photoshop to File - > Export-> Paths to Illustrator, save as a .ai file and then save it as an svg from illustrator without losing quality.

Hope this helps

EDIT: you can download a trial version of illustrator for free for 30 days form the adobe website
