SVG to PDF
Convert an SVG vector graphic to PDF using Chromium — the browser engine that defined the SVG standard. CSS, filters, and embedded fonts all render correctly. File is processed on a secure server and never stored.
Frequently asked questions
- Does my file get uploaded?
- Yes. Converting an SVG to PDF uses Chromium (the browser engine that renders SVG natively) running on our secure server. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, converted, and immediately deleted — never stored permanently.
- Why use Chromium instead of LibreOffice to convert SVG?
- SVG is a web standard and Chromium is its reference implementation. The same engine that renders SVG in Chrome, Edge, and Opera is used here. LibreOffice has partial SVG support — it misses many CSS properties, filters, and font rendering subtleties. Chromium renders SVG exactly as a browser would.
- Are CSS styles, filters, and fonts preserved?
- Yes, if the SVG is self-contained. CSS properties defined in the SVG's <style> block, SVG filters (blur, drop-shadow, colour-matrix), and fonts embedded as base64 data URIs are all rendered correctly by Chromium. External resources (fonts loaded from a URL, externally linked images) may not load in the server environment.
- What size will the output PDF be?
- The PDF is sized to A4 by default. If your SVG has a specific width and height or viewBox, the content is scaled to fit A4. For PDFs sized to the SVG's exact dimensions, the SVG's width/height attributes should be set in absolute units (px, mm, in).
