  • Show HN: Svgasm – SVG animation from single GIF using tracer
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Feb 2021
    Hi HN readers. I created this command-line tool called svgasm to automate the generation of an SVG animation from a lot of SVG files. Originally it was to create a dumb SVG animation from a bunch of matplotlib SVG exports. Then, I had the idea of using this method to sequence traced/vectorized versions of raster frames extracted from a GIF to create a time-discretized SVG animation, which is found to be generally aesthetically pleasing and smaller in file size. I created a bunch of GIF vs SVG side-by-side comparison examples with some interesting GIFs that I found online. The examples can be viewed on https://github.com/tomkwok/svgasm. Please tell me if the SVG animation works on your laptop/PC, especially the more complex SVGs like the infinity spiral example.
