PDF to SVG

Convert one text-based PDF page into a best-effort true SVG text layer locally, with honest guidance when image export is the right fallback.

Supported files

PDF to SVG accepts standard .pdf files. It works best with selectable text PDFs. Scanned, image-only, or complex artwork PDFs should use image export instead.

Options

Convert one selected page at a time.

Name the SVG output before download.

Keep output honest: text becomes SVG text; raster pages are directed to image export.

Password-protected PDFs can be unlocked locally before conversion.

How to use PDF to SVG

  1. Upload PDF — Upload a PDF and unlock it locally if the file requires a password.
  2. Select page — Select exactly one page in the page rail.
  3. Review text — Review whether selectable text was found and adjust the output filename.
  4. Convert and download — Select Convert to SVG and download the SVG result.

FAQ

Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. PDF.js reads the page in a browser worker and the SVG is created locally.
Is this a raster image inside an SVG?
No. This tool avoids rasterized SVG wrappers. If true SVG text cannot be created, it points you to PDF to PNG instead.
Will complex PDF artwork become editable SVG paths?
Not in this local v1. The supported slice exports selectable text into SVG text elements and documents the limitation before upload.
