PDF to SVG

Convert PDF pages to SVG files you can embed in websites, reference with <img src="page.svg">, or open in any SVG-capable editor. Free, up to 600 DPI, in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

or choose one from your device. Every page becomes an SVG.

Your file never leaves this device. Pages are drawn and encoded in your browser.

SVG is the native image format of the web. Unlike JPG or PNG, an SVG file carries its own coordinate system: embed it in a page and it fills its container correctly at any screen size, without JavaScript or CSS tricks. That makes it useful for documentation sites, technical references, and anywhere a PDF page needs to live inside an HTML document rather than being offered as a download.

Each converted page is a valid SVG file containing the page rendered at the resolution you choose, wrapped in an SVG element with a proper viewBox. The content is high-resolution raster rather than editable vector paths — browser-based converters cannot extract the individual text runs and paths from a PDF without server-side libraries. If you need the paths themselves, Inkscape's PDF import does that from the desktop.

Nothing is uploaded. Your browser renders each page on a canvas, encodes it, and wraps it in SVG markup — the document never leaves your machine. Once the page has loaded, it works offline.

How to convert a PDF to SVG

  1. 1. Open your PDF

    Drag the file onto the drop zone or choose it from your device. Nothing is uploaded — the file is read entirely in your browser.

  2. 2. Choose a resolution

    Good (150 DPI) suits most web uses. Print (300 DPI) gives sharper output for detailed diagrams and fine print. Higher resolution means larger SVG files.

  3. 3. Pick the pages, if you do not want all of them

    Leave the range empty to convert the whole document, or type something like 1-3, 7 to convert only those pages.

  4. 4. Convert and download

    Press Convert to SVG. Each page appears as a preview you can save individually, or take the full set as a ZIP.

When to use SVG vs PNG or JPG

All three formats work in a browser. The right choice depends on where the file is going.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PDF to SVG for free? +

Open the PDF above and press Convert to SVG. Each page becomes an SVG file you can download individually or as a ZIP. There is no account, no page limit, no watermark, and the file is never uploaded — the conversion runs entirely in your browser.

What does the SVG file actually contain? +

Each SVG file contains the PDF page rendered as a high-resolution PNG image, embedded inside an SVG <image> element with a proper viewBox. The SVG is valid and scalable — it can be embedded in HTML, styled with CSS, and opened in any SVG-capable tool. The page content is raster (pixel-based) rather than editable vector paths. If you need editable paths and text, a desktop tool like Inkscape with its own PDF import handles that better.

Why would I use SVG instead of PNG or JPG? +

SVG has a few advantages for web use. It is natively embedded in HTML with <img src="page.svg"> or as an inline <svg> element, which means it participates in the document flow and can be targeted by CSS. Its viewBox adapts to different container sizes without specifying pixel dimensions. Many static site generators, documentation tools, and CMS platforms treat SVG as a first-class image format. For pure download and sharing use cases, PNG or JPG is usually simpler.

Can I edit the SVG in Inkscape or Illustrator? +

You can open it, but the page content is a single embedded raster image rather than separate text and path objects. You can add SVG shapes, text, or annotations on top of it in Inkscape. If you need the PDF content itself to be editable vector objects, Inkscape's built-in PDF import (File → Import) does a better job of extracting paths and text from the source file.

Which resolution should I use? +

Good (150 DPI) covers most web embedding — the embedded image is 1240 × 1754 pixels for an A4 page, which looks sharp at typical screen widths. Print (300 DPI) doubles that to 2480 × 3508 pixels, which is worth it for detailed technical drawings or content that will be zoomed into. Screen (72 DPI) for small thumbnails. Maximum (600 DPI) for archival quality, with proportionally large files.

How large will the SVG files be? +

Each SVG contains a base64-encoded PNG, which adds about 33% to the PNG file size. At 150 DPI, a typical A4 page of text produces an SVG around 400 KB to 1.5 MB. At 300 DPI expect 1.5–5 MB per page. The size estimate shown before converting gives a per-page figure based on the first page.

Can I use the SVG directly on a website? +

Yes. Reference it with <img src="page.svg"> for the simplest case, or paste the SVG markup inline if you want CSS control. Both work in all current browsers. Inline SVG lets you add hover states, animations, and data attributes; an <img> is simpler and loads the file lazily.

Are my files uploaded anywhere? +

No. The PDF is read, rendered and encoded entirely inside your browser. No data is transmitted. That makes it safe for contracts, medical records, bank statements, and anything else you would not upload to an unknown server. Once the page has loaded it works offline.

Is there a page or file size limit? +

No fixed limit. Pages are converted one at a time, so a long document is a matter of patience rather than a wall. You can stop partway through and download the pages already converted.

Will the SVG files have a watermark? +

No. The SVG contains the page exactly as rendered, nothing added. There is no watermark, badge, or paid tier that removes one.
