Is the output real vector graphics?

No — each SVG contains a rendered image of the page, not reconstructed vector paths. It scales the way a good-quality image scales. If you need editable curves and text outlines, open the PDF in Inkscape or Illustrator, which perform genuine vector import.

Will text in the SVG be selectable or searchable?

No, the text is part of the rendered image. For selectable text on the web, convert with PDF to HTML instead; for raw text, PDF to Text.

Why SVG output instead of just PNG?

Some pipelines, CMSes, and design tools specifically want .svg files, and the SVG wrapper carries explicit dimensions and a viewBox that make embedding and CSS scaling predictable. If a plain bitmap serves you equally well, PDF to Images gives you PNG or JPEG directly.

How big are the resulting files?

Each SVG embeds a base64-encoded PNG of its page, so figure on file sizes similar to a PNG export plus around a third for the encoding. Multi-hundred-page PDFs produce correspondingly hefty zips.

About PDF to SVG

SVG slots into places PDF can't: inline in a web page, inside design tools, anywhere an <img> tag or vector workspace expects an .svg file. Convertora converts PDF pages into standalone SVG files you can drop straight into those contexts.

Honesty about the method matters here. Each page is rendered to a high-quality raster image (at 1.5x scale) and wrapped in an SVG container — the output is not a true vector extraction of the PDF's lines and text. The file behaves like an SVG (embeds cleanly, scales as a normal image would, carries its own dimensions and viewBox), but zooming far in reveals pixels, not infinitely sharp paths. True PDF-to-vector conversion requires desktop tools like Inkscape; this tool optimizes for a fast, private, no-install path to web-embeddable page images.

How to use it

1Upload a PDF (up to 100MB).
2Each page is rendered in the browser via PDF.js at 1.5x scale and embedded into an SVG wrapper sized to the page.
3A single-page PDF downloads directly as one .svg file named after the document.
4Multi-page PDFs download as a zip containing one numbered SVG per page (yourfile-page-1.svg, yourfile-page-2.svg, ...).

Common use cases

Embedding a PDF page (poster, one-pager, certificate) in a web page as a self-contained image file.
Importing page snapshots into design tools that accept SVG placement.
Publishing document previews where the pipeline expects .svg assets.
Converting single-page PDFs (logos exported as PDF, lab results, tickets) into a web-friendly format.

Frequently asked questions

Tips

Only need one page of a long document? Extract it first with Split PDF so you get a single .svg instead of a zip.
For maximum-resolution bitmaps rather than embeddable SVGs, use PDF to Images — the rendering is similar but you choose PNG or JPEG.

100% private — runs in your browser

Convertora processes everything on your device using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Files never leave your browser, are never uploaded to a server, and are never seen by us or anyone else. The moment you close the tab, the data is gone — there is no temporary cloud copy, no log entry, no retained backup.

Because the work happens locally, processing speed depends on your device — but there are no rate limits, no daily caps, and no file size restrictions beyond what your browser can handle in memory. No signup, no account, no payment. The tool works the same in incognito mode, on a corporate network, or after the page has loaded once, even with the network disconnected.
