What is an SVG file?
SVG – Scalable Vector Graphics. SVG is the web's vector picture format: shapes, paths and text described in XML, so the drawing stays sharp at any size. Every browser draws it, and design programs open it.
SVG Converter →What is a PDF file?
PDF – PDF document. PDF is the document format that looks the same on every device: it fixes where each letter and picture goes on a page. It is made for reading and printing, not for editing.

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 PDF, so it stays sharp at any size.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting SVG to PDF 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 PDF look the same as the SVG?
The shapes stay shapes, so the PDF looks like the SVG at any size. Fonts the converter does not have are replaced, and effects the PDF 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.
