SVG Morph Generator
Generate CSS or JavaScript-based SVG path morphing animations. Interpolate between two shapes with precise easing curves.
- Path interpolation
- Easing curves
- CSS/JS export
- Multi-step morphing
Generate Standalone SVG Path Morphing Animations
Create fluid shape transitions that play natively inside standard HTML and image formats. Define start and end vector coordinates, set timing curves, configure styles, and output raw self-contained morph codes without JS libraries.

Native SMIL Morph
We leverage browser SVG SMIL specifications directly. The transition runs inside the rendering engine without loading client-side JS libraries.
Vertices Point Matching
For clean morphing, paths should match coordinate nodes (like our presets). This ensures interpolation follows linear vectors.
Self-Contained File
The output vector maps the values of shape transitions right in its own markup. Download and embed anywhere as standard source.
How SVG SMIL Path Morphing Works
Morphing occurs when the browser interpolates the coordinates of a path tag between a start string (Path A) and an end string (Path B). Historically, developers had to install commercial scripts or external frameworks (like GreenSock/GSAP) to compute coordinate transformations. However, using modern SVG parameters, you can write native SMIL loops directly in the vector document.
Why SVG Paths Must Have Equal Node Counts
When morphing two paths, the browser's GPU needs to know where to map each point. For example, if **Path A** represents a square (4 vertices) and **Path B** represents a triangle (3 vertices), the browser doesn't know where the 4th corner should move to.
To achieve a clean, smooth transition without distortions:
- Ensure that both paths have the exact same number of drawing coordinates.
- In Illustrator or Inkscape, align node nodes by adding dummy anchor points along flat segments.
- If the counts are unequal, standard browser SMIL engines will snap or warp instead of smoothly blending.
How to Embed Morphing SVGs
Since the SMIL animations are embedded inside the SVG code, you can use them:
- Inline in HTML: Simply paste the code directly inside your HTML page.
- Inside an Image Link: Serve it as a background asset:
<img src="morphed.svg" />.
