# PDF to SVG Converter

> Convert PDF pages into true vector SVGs with live, selectable text.

PDF to SVG Converter runs entirely in your browser. The PDF is parsed on your own device with pdf.js, each page becomes an SVG with real, selectable text elements positioned exactly as the PDF placed them. Nothing is uploaded, which is the reason to use this on a contract, a payslip or a medical letter.

## FAQ

### Is this a real SVG or a PNG in an SVG wrapper?

A real one. Every line becomes a positioned <text> element at its original coordinates, size, weight and slant, so the file scales infinitely and the words can be selected and searched. Converters that wrap a raster in an <image> tag produce a file that is SVG in name only.

### What is missing?

Vector artwork the PDF draws as paths — rules, borders, logos, charts — is not carried across, and neither are embedded photographs. Text is. For a page where the artwork is the point, PDF to PNG at 4× is the better tool.
