Convert SVG to PDF in your browser
Turn an SVG graphic into a shareable PDF, sized to match the artwork's own dimensions. Everything runs locally so your file stays on your device.
How to convert SVG to PDF
- Choose or drop an .svg file.
- Select Convert to PDF.
- Download the resulting PDF.
What gets preserved
- Aspect ratio, using the SVG's own width/height or viewBox to size the PDF page.
- Transparent backgrounds (rendered as PNG).
- Paths, shapes, text, groups/transforms, gradients, and embedded raster images, rendered by the browser's own SVG engine.
- Common length units in width/height attributes: px, pt, in, cm, and mm.
What's different from the original SVG
- The PDF contains a high-resolution rendered image of the SVG, not vector paths or selectable text — it will not stay crisp at extreme zoom the way a true vector PDF would, and text in the artwork cannot be selected or searched.
- Script tags and external resource references (remote images, fonts, and stylesheets) are removed before rendering and never load or execute.
Browser privacy
- Processing occurs locally in the browser.
- Files are not uploaded to Looty Tools.
- The SVG is sanitized before rendering, and any external resource references it contains are blocked — no network requests are made on your behalf.
Limits
- Maximum file size is 5 MB.
- Maximum 5,000 SVG elements per file.
- An SVG with neither absolute width/height nor a viewBox can't be sized and is rejected with a clear error.
- Output is a rasterized image embedded in the PDF, not vector artwork.

SVG to PDF FAQ
- Is my SVG file uploaded anywhere?
- No. Conversion runs locally in the browser. Your file is not uploaded to Looty Tools.
- Does the PDF keep vector paths and text I can select?
- No. This tool renders (rasterizes) the SVG into a high-resolution image and embeds that image in the PDF page — it does not embed vector paths or selectable text. This keeps rendering consistent across the full range of SVG features (gradients, filters, embedded raster images) without the gaps a partial vector converter would have.
- Is the SVG’s aspect ratio preserved?
- Yes. The PDF page is sized to match the SVG’s own declared width/height or viewBox, so the aspect ratio is preserved exactly.
- What happens to a transparent SVG background?
- Transparency is preserved — the image is rasterized to PNG (not JPEG), so a transparent background stays transparent in the PDF.
- What SVG features are supported?
- Common SVG content — paths, shapes, text, groups and transforms, gradients, and embedded raster images — renders using the browser’s own SVG engine. Scripts and external resource references (remote images, fonts, and stylesheets) are stripped before rendering and never execute or load.
- What is the maximum file size?
- The maximum file size is 5 MB.
