How do i convert multi path svg to one path

Question

I have few images in .png. Using adobe illustrator I have converted them to .svg in black-white color mode. In the generated svg file there are multiple path tags.

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

When I combine all these path by keeping content in d attribute i get image but it has only one fill color.

How do I convert these svg path to a single computed path with retaining original image in black and white fill. I need single path to put it as an object in a custom js file where we are registering icons and using them with font-awsome-icon vue component. The icons are registered by using varibales of format

var faSnd = {
    prefix: 'fac',
    iconName: 'snd-coin',

Answer 1

You can combine svg paths in Inkscape (open source svg editor) with [Path] [Combine]. This may force all paths to be the same colour.

If you have imported an image (eg bitmap) into Inkscape, first use [Path] [Trace bitmap] to create the paths, then you can combine.
