Does the PDF stay vector?

No — the drawing is rendered to a high-resolution bitmap (300 dpi) and embedded. For true vector PDF output, export from Inkscape or Illustrator.

Why are fonts different?

Text in the SVG uses fonts installed on your device; if a font is missing, the browser substitutes one. Convert text to paths in your editor first for exact results.

Are external images inside the SVG included?

Embedded (data URI) images are; links to external files are not, for security reasons.

No. Rendering happens in your browser.

Why convert SVG to PDF

SVG is perfect for the web and for editing, but PDF is the exchange format of print and paperwork. Many office and layout programs will not place an SVG at all, while a PDF drops in anywhere.

The SVG is rendered by your browser’s own SVG engine — fonts, gradients and filters included — at 300 dpi for the chosen page size, then embedded in the PDF. The result prints sharply at any normal size.

How to convert SVG to PDF

Drop the SVG files onto the page.
Choose a page size (same as the drawing, A4 or Letter) and orientation.
Click Convert and download the PDF.

About the formats

SVG · Scalable Vector Graphics · .svg

A vector format described in XML: logos and icons that scale to any size without blur, editable in a text editor.

SVG has no fixed pixel size; when you convert it to PNG you choose the output dimensions.
SVG files can contain scripts and external references, which is why some platforms reject uploaded SVGs.
Browsers render SVG natively; most social networks and office apps still need a PNG.

PDF · Portable Document Format · .pdf

The fixed-layout document standard: looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, contracts and reports are shared as PDF.

A PDF can contain vector text, embedded fonts, images, form fields, annotations and digital signatures.
Scanned PDFs are just pictures of pages; they need OCR before the text can be searched or copied.
PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008.
