Good to know

  • The SVG drawing is drawn by Inkscape. Fonts the server does not have are replaced, so text can change shape; convert the text to outlines first when it matters. Only the first page is converted.
  • For safety, anything in an SVG that points to another file, scripts, embedded web pages and style sheets from elsewhere are left out; the drawing itself is unchanged.
  • The shapes stay shapes in the EMF, so it stays sharp at any size.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting SVG to EMF free?

Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.

Are my SVG files uploaded anywhere?

This conversion runs on our server, because drawing an SVG file needs Inkscape, which does not run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The server has no internet access while it works on your file.

How large can the SVG file be?

Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.

Will the EMF look the same as the SVG?

The shapes stay shapes, so the EMF looks like the SVG at any size. Fonts the converter does not have are replaced, and effects the EMF cannot hold are simplified.

Can I convert several SVG files at once?

Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
