– The document size must be 500×500 pixels.
– Place your product in a layer as reference.
– Then draw the path using pen tool. Make sure that you do not have any fill colors in that path.
– If you have multiple paths like an iphone case with a hole, then draw the outer path of the case and again draw the camera hole. Now you have 2 paths.
– Go to ‘Objects’> ‘Compound path’ > make or use keyboard shortcut( Cmd+8 or Ctrl+8 ).
– Then delete the reference image layer.
– ‘Save as’ the document as SVG with all default options checked.

The final SVG should have a single path as highlighted in the below image.
