How do I turn an SVG into an MP4?

MP4 is a sequence of frames at a fixed rate. An SVG is one drawing with no duration. Anything that claims to convert one to the other is making a decision on your behalf about what happens between the first frame and the last.

That decision is the whole product. A logo that fades in, a logo that draws itself contour by contour, and a logo that sits still for three seconds are all valid conversions of the same file.

The most useful motion for a logo comes out of the file itself. Each contour is traced in the order it was drawn, the outline appearing as a moving line, and the fill arriving once the outline closes. It needs no keyframes because the path data already contains the order.

That only works if the converter reads the real path data rather than rasterising the file first. Once it becomes pixels, there are no contours left to trace.

A current browser can encode H.264 without a server. WebCodecs gives you a VideoEncoder, the frames come off a canvas, and a muxer writes the MP4. On this tool, 4K uses the avc1.640033 profile at 40 Mbps and 30 fps, and 1080p drops to avc1.640029 at 12 Mbps.

The practical consequence matters more than the numbers: the file never leaves the machine. No upload, no queue, no server holding your unreleased brand while it renders.

Social platforms want three shapes and re-cropping a finished video is where logos lose their margins. Producing 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 from the same scene in one pass keeps the framing deliberate in all three, because each one is composed rather than cut out of another.
