SVG to PDF: what your drawing becomes
An SVG is a vector file, a set of drawing instructions rather than pixels. Converting an SVG file to PDF here, as with any vector file, means your browser draws it once, at the width and height written in the file, and places the resulting image on the PDF page.
The page shows what a browser shows, but the shapes are now pixels. At the size it was drawn it looks like the original; zoom far in or print it large and the edges soften, as with any image.
Carried over
- Shapes, colors and gradients
- A transparent background
- Images embedded in the file
Not carried over
- Sharpness at any zoom
- Selectable text
- Linked images and web fonts
Keep the converted drawing sharp
The drawing is turned into pixels at its declared size, one pixel per CSS pixel. On A4, Letter or Legal it is then scaled to fit the sheet, so a 100 by 100 icon is enlarged to the full width of the page and looks soft.
There are two ways around it. Raise the width and height in the file before converting: with a viewBox present, the drawing grows with them. Or pick Auto (Match Image) under Page Size, so the page is exactly the size of the drawing and nothing is enlarged.
No width and height at all? The browser then falls back to a default: Chrome and Edge draw the SVG at 300 by 150 pixels. Sizes given in mm, cm or inches are converted at 96 pixels per inch.
None of this changes what the drawing looks like at the size it was made for: a logo exported at its intended dimensions and converted at Auto (Match Image) lands on the page exactly as it was drawn, with no scaling in either direction.
How to convert SVG to PDF
-
Add the SVG files
Drop them onto the dropzone; each one becomes a page.
-
Order them and set the page
Drag the thumbnails into place, then choose Page Size and Page Orientation.
-
Convert and download
Click Convert to PDF and save the finished file.
How specific SVG features come through
-
Gradients and patterns
Linear and radial gradients, and repeating patterns, are drawn out fully, since the browser resolves them the same way it would on a web page.
-
Filters and blend effects
Blurs, shadows and blend modes defined in the file are baked into the final picture rather than staying as separate, editable effects.
-
Embedded raster images
A JPG or PNG stored inside the SVG as data is drawn along with the rest of the artwork; the two layers merge into one image.
-
Named after the first file
The PDF takes the name of the first drawing in your list, with the site's name added, whether it holds one page or many.
-
One page per drawing
Every SVG is drawn at its own declared size, so an icon and a full-page poster in the same batch keep their own shape and are never resized to match.
-
One failure stops the batch
A file the browser cannot parse as valid SVG stops the whole conversion with an error rather than being skipped on its own.

Not with this tool: the drawing always becomes pixels. For vectors, export to PDF from the editor you drew it in.
Fonts linked from the web aren't loaded when the SVG is drawn, so the browser substitutes one it has. Convert the text to paths in your editor before converting.
No. Scripts never run when an SVG is drawn as an image, and the page holds a still picture, so links inside it can't be clicked.
Yes, on every page size. On A4, Letter or Legal the space the drawing doesn't fill stays blank.
Yes. Every drawing you add becomes a page in the order of the thumbnails, and all of them come out in a single PDF.
They resolve to whatever value applies when the browser draws the file on its own, usually black, since there is no surrounding page style to inherit from. Set explicit colors in the SVG before converting if that matters.
A width or height given as a percentage has nothing to size itself against outside a web page, so the browser falls back to its default drawing size. Set fixed numbers with units before converting for a predictable result.
One. Every drawing you add becomes a page of the same PDF, in the order of the thumbnails, so a batch of icons downloads as a single file.
