Xodo PDF Studio provides a powerful conversion engine that transforms your PDF documents into Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. This process ensures that all vector graphics, fonts, and layouts are faithfully preserved in the output file.


Why Choose SVG Format?

  • Scalability: SVG images can be resized without any loss of quality, making them ideal for web use and responsive designs.
  • Editability: SVG files can be easily edited and manipulated using vector graphics editors.
  • Small file size: Compared to raster image formats like JPEG or PNG, SVGs often result in smaller file sizes, especially for graphics-heavy documents.
  • Web compatibility: SVG is a widely supported web standard, ensuring compatibility across different browsers and devices.

  • Illustrations and diagrams: Edit and modify them for use in presentations, reports, or other documents.
