What it does
PDF to SVG writes the drawing on each page as SVG vector graphics. Lines, shapes and text outlines stay sharp at any size, which suits charts, diagrams, logos and illustrations.
When to use it
Use it to hand a chart to a designer, place a diagram on a website without blurring, or edit a drawing in Illustrator or Inkscape.

Common questions
Can I edit the SVG?
Yes. Open it in a vector editor such as Inkscape or Illustrator.
Why is there no DPI setting?
Vector graphics have no fixed resolution, so the setting does not apply.
Will a scanned page become vector art?
No. A scan is a photo of a page and stays a photo inside the SVG.
Can I export only one page?
Yes. Choose a page range and only those pages are exported.
