How to convert SVG to PDF

  1. Drop your SVG files onto the box above, or click Choose images to select them.
  2. Keep PDF content on Vector for sharp, editable shapes, or choose Picture for an exact copy of how your browser draws the SVG.
  3. Pick a page size, then download each PDF or click Download as one PDF to combine them.

Why convert SVG to PDF?

SVG is the web’s vector format, but print shops, sign makers, publishers and many design and office apps expect PDF. Converting keeps your artwork usable outside the browser:

  • Printing. Send a logo or illustration to a printer as a PDF that stays sharp at any size.
  • Sharing with non-designers. Anyone can open a PDF; an SVG often opens as code or in a browser tab.
  • Documents and portfolios. Combine several SVGs into one multi-page PDF.

Vector or picture?

The converter offers two kinds of PDF content:

Feature Vector (default) Picture
Sharp when zoomed or printed large Yes, at any size Up to the chosen width
Editable in design apps Yes, as shapes No, as one image
Exact match with the browser Shapes yes; text uses the PDF standard fonts Yes
File size Usually small Larger

Vector is the right choice for logos, icons, charts and illustrations. When an SVG uses something a vector PDF can’t reproduce exactly, such as filter effects, masks, custom fonts or embedded HTML, the converter switches that file to a high-resolution picture automatically and tells you. Choose Picture yourself when the exact look matters more than editability; you can then pick the picture width.

Everything happens in your browser: the SVG is read, drawn and written into a PDF on your device. Want a bitmap instead? SVG to PNG exports PNG images at the width you choose.

Questions and answers

Is the PDF really vector?

Yes. Paths, shapes, strokes, gradients and clipping are written as PDF vector graphics, so you can zoom in as far as you like or print it poster-size without blur. Design apps that open PDFs, such as Illustrator and Inkscape, can edit them as shapes.

What about text in my SVG?

Text set in Arial, Helvetica, Times or Courier (or a generic sans-serif, serif or monospace font) stays vector text in the PDF, as long as it uses Western European letters. Other fonts, and alphabets such as Polish, Greek or Chinese, can't be shown with the standard PDF fonts, so those SVGs are saved as a high-resolution picture instead, and a note tells you why. To keep everything vector, convert text to paths (create outlines) in your design app first.

Why did my PDF come out as a picture?

Some SVG features can't be reproduced exactly in a vector PDF: filter effects such as drop shadows and blur, masks, blend modes, HTML labels (common in diagrams from draw.io and similar tools), custom fonts and some alphabets. Rather than drop them, the converter embeds a sharp picture of the drawing, 2048 px on its longest side, and shows the reason under the result.

How big is the PDF page?

Fit to drawing uses the width and height set in the SVG, at 96 pixels per inch, the standard web conversion. SVGs without a size get a standard page in the same shape. A4 and US Letter scale the drawing to fit inside half-inch margins.

Can I combine several SVGs into one PDF?

Yes. Add all your files, then click Download as one PDF. Each SVG becomes one page, in the order shown.

Are my SVG files uploaded?

No. The PDF is built in your browser, on your device, so unreleased logos and client artwork stay private. Nothing is fetched from elsewhere either: images the SVG links to in other files or on websites are left out, so embed them in the SVG first.
