Vector, not a screenshot
Shapes, fills, strokes and gradients are written as PDF drawing operators, not rasterized. Text is embedded as outlines when a font is available.
Free browser tool
Convert SVG to PDF and keep it vector.
Drop an SVG, optionally fix a colour or crop the canvas, then download a PDF whose page matches the artwork. Paths stay vector, so it prints sharp at any size and opens in Illustrator.
No file handy? Have a PNG or JPG? Convert it to SVG first

Details
How it works
Page size
The page takes the SVG canvas proportions; use the Canvas panel to crop or add margin before exporting.
Backgrounds
Transparent by default. Pick a colour or an image in the Background panel to bake it into the page.
Limits
What this tool cannot do
- Filters, masks and blend modes that PDF cannot express are flattened or dropped.
- Embedded raster images inside the SVG stay raster in the PDF.
- Very complex files can take a few seconds to write.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is the PDF really vector?
Yes. The conversion writes vector drawing commands, so zooming in a PDF viewer shows crisp edges and Illustrator can select the paths.
Can I set the PDF page to A4 or Letter?
The page follows the artwork's canvas. Fit the canvas to 3:2 or a typed size in the Canvas panel first, or place the PDF into a page layout tool.
Does this use my credits?
No. Rendering happens in your browser; a free sign-in is only needed to download.
