Hello @hardcore_gamer29,

 

Thanks for reaching out. As suggested by Mylenium and Imaginerie, the file will need to be recreated in Illustrator if it contains complex artwork. Would you mind trying the suggestions shared in this tutorial to trace the image and check if it helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZg8rvl0Vwk.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

This freelance job isn't about pressing a button (otherwise they would have done it themselves). It's about designing 50 vector images to match the existing useless designs. Also, check whether what Illustrator does is suitable for use with a text editor; you might need a different non-Adobe SVG tool since Adobe don't have text editing as a design aim for their SVG.

SVG is a vector file format JPEG is a compressed image file format. What do you want to do? And for what purpose?

this is what client wants

I need someone to convert 50 .jpeg files into .svg files for professional engineer seals.

The .svg files must be editable such that I can open the file in a text editor and change the name and number of the individual on the seal.

JPEG files are images, you can only change them by changing the pixels in an image editor.

What you want is impossible.

You have to re-create whatever editable elements you want using text tools in AI, tracing, manually re-drawing stuff etc.
