SVG vs PDF: Format Comparison

Key differences between the two formats

Feature	SVG	PDF
Type	Vector graphics (XML-based)	Document container (vector and raster)
Scalability	Infinitely scalable (no pixel loss)	Resolution-independent document
Editability	Editable XML source (open in Inkscape)	Not directly editable
Browser rendering	Native in all modern browsers	Requires PDF reader or browser plugin
Print use	Excellent for web-to-print with scaling	Standard for professional print files
Compatibility	Web browsers, vector editors	Universal — email, print, portals
Animation	Supports CSS and SMIL animation	Static only

When to Convert

Common scenarios where this conversion is useful

Sharing vector logos with clients as PDF

SVG logo files are not universally viewable outside of browsers and vector editors. Converting to PDF lets you share vector-quality logos with clients who need to review or print them without installing Inkscape or Illustrator.

Submitting vector illustrations through document portals

Government forms, print submission portals, and corporate document systems often accept only PDF. Convert your SVG illustrations, diagrams, or blueprints to PDF privately in your browser without sending files to any service.

Creating print-ready PDFs from SVG artwork

SVG scales perfectly to any resolution. Converting to PDF preserves the crisp vector rendering at any print size, producing a print-ready document suitable for sending to professional printing services.

Including SVG charts in PDF reports

Data visualization libraries (D3.js, Chart.js) export charts as SVG. Convert these SVG charts to PDF for inclusion in formal reports, business presentations, or documents where vector quality is important.

Archiving SVG designs as stable documents

SVG files depend on browser and software rendering. Converting SVG artwork to PDF creates a stable, renderer-independent snapshot that will look identical in any PDF viewer, now and in the future.

How to Convert SVG to PDF

1

Select your SVG file

Drag and drop your .svg file into the converter or click to browse. SVG files containing paths, shapes, text, gradients, and embedded images are all supported. Your file stays on your device — no upload occurs.
2

Browser renders SVG to PDF locally

The jsPDF library renders your SVG using the browser's own SVG engine and embeds the result in a PDF document. The entire process happens in browser memory with no server involvement, preserving your file's privacy.
3

Download the PDF document

Save the PDF to your device. The SVG artwork is rendered at full quality in the PDF. Share it via email, upload to portals, or send to print services — all without having uploaded your original SVG anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PDF output vector or raster?

When jsPDF renders SVG to PDF via the browser, the SVG is rasterized at the browser's rendering resolution. The output is a high-quality raster image embedded in the PDF, not a true vector PDF. For true vector PDF, a tool like Inkscape is needed.

Is my SVG file uploaded to your servers?

No. The entire conversion happens inside your browser. The SVG file never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy for proprietary designs, logos, or client artwork.

Will SVG text render correctly in the PDF?

Text in the SVG is rendered by the browser's SVG engine and captured as part of the image in the PDF. Font rendering depends on your system fonts. Text is not selectable in the PDF output.

Are gradients and complex SVG paths supported?

Yes. The browser renders all standard SVG features including linear and radial gradients, complex paths, clipping masks, and filters before embedding in the PDF.

Does the PDF preserve SVG animations?

No. PDF is a static format. CSS animations and SMIL animations in the SVG are not captured. The PDF shows the SVG's initial static state.

What page size does the PDF use for my SVG?

The PDF page matches the viewBox or width/height declared in your SVG file. If the SVG has no explicit dimensions, the converter uses the browser's default rendering size.

Can I convert an SVG with embedded images to PDF?

Yes. SVGs containing embedded raster images (via base64 or relative URLs, if served from the same origin) are rendered fully by the browser and captured in the PDF.

Is there a file size limit?

No server limit applies since no upload occurs. SVG files are typically small XML text files. Complex SVGs with many paths or embedded images may take slightly longer to render but are fully supported.

Can I convert SVG to other image formats instead?

Yes. ChangeThisFile can convert SVG to JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, and ICO if you need a raster image rather than a PDF document.

Is this free with no account required?

Yes. Completely free, no signup, no account, no payment, and no usage limits. The converter runs entirely in your browser.
