PDF to SVG Converter
Drop in a PDF and download an SVG file for every page, packaged as a ZIP. Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so your file is never uploaded anywhere.

How it works
We use Mozilla's PDF.js library to render each page onto a canvas directly on your device, then wrap that rendered image in an SVG container so it stays crisp at any size and can be dropped straight into design tools that expect SVG. This produces an image-based SVG rather than fully editable vector paths, since PDF.js no longer ships a vector SVG backend.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I convert a PDF to SVG instead of PNG?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector format that scales to any size without losing quality. It is ideal for logos, diagrams, charts and illustrations that need to look sharp on any screen or print size. PNG is a raster format that pixelates when enlarged.
Can I edit an SVG exported from a PDF?
Yes. SVG files are XML-based and can be opened and edited in Inkscape (free), Adobe Illustrator or Figma. This makes PDF to SVG useful for editing diagrams or updating old documents.
Does the PDF to SVG converter preserve fonts?
Fonts that are embedded in the PDF are preserved in the SVG output. If the font is not embedded, it falls back to a generic font. For best results, use PDFs with embedded fonts.
What is the file size of SVG files compared to PDF?
SVG files tend to be smaller than PDFs for simple diagrams and vector art, but can be larger for complex pages with many elements. Unlike PDFs, SVGs are plain-text XML which makes them easy to compress further.
