Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This is a 100% client-side application. All conversion happens locally in your browser memory.

Can I open the SVG in CorelDRAW?

Yes. CorelDRAW imports SVG natively via File then Import, keeping vector paths and curves editable.

PDF to SVG Converter (for CorelDRAW) | Free Client-Side Vector Tool

This tool turns each page of a PDF into an SVG vector file you can open and edit in CorelDRAW, Illustrator, or Inkscape. Everything happens inside your browser — your file is never uploaded.

Step 1 Drop a PDF onto the upload box (or click Select PDF). Every page appears in the left list.
Step 2 Click any page on the left to preview it in the middle. Adjust options on the right if you want (the defaults are fine for most people).
Step 3 Press the blue CONVERT & EXPORT button. Your SVG (or a ZIP of SVGs) downloads automatically.

In a hurry? Just drop your PDF and press Convert & Export. You'll get a ZIP with one editable SVG per page.

The three sections of the workspace are explained in the tabs above: ① Pages (left), ② Preview (middle), and ③ Settings & Export (right).

① The Pages panel (left side)

This is the list of every page found in your PDF(s).

Pages • 9 The number next to "Pages" is the total page count loaded.

🔎 Filter pages Type a page number to quickly find it in a long document.

Example: a 200-page PDF — type 57 in the filter to jump straight to page 57 instead of scrolling.

Click a page card to preview it in the middle. The selected page is highlighted in red.

➕ ADD PDF Add more PDFs to the same batch — handy for converting several files at once. You can also just drag extra PDFs anywhere onto the workspace.

② The Preview panel (middle)

Shows the converted SVG of the page you selected, so you can check it before exporting.

✕ RESET Clears everything and returns to the upload screen so you can start over.

PAGE_1.SVG The red name in the middle shows the file name the current page will be saved as.

⬇ THIS SVG Downloads only the page you're looking at, right away.

Example: you only need page 3 of a 10-page PDF — open page 3 and click This SVG. No need to export everything.

➖ 100% ➕ Zoom the preview in or out to inspect fine detail. This only affects the preview, not the exported file (SVG is always full quality).

③ The Settings & Export panel (right side)

Section A — Document Info

Read-only details about the selected page: its source file, page number, and size in points. Just information — nothing to change here.

Section B — Conversion Settings

Text Handling

Embed fonts keeps the file looking identical everywhere by packing the fonts inside it. Best default.
Reference fonts makes a smaller file but needs the fonts installed to look right.

Rule of thumb: sending the file to someone else or importing into CorelDRAW? Use Embed fonts. Want the smallest file and you have the fonts? Use Reference fonts.

Transparent background

Off (default) = the page gets a white background. On = no background, so the artwork is see-through.

Example: converting a logo to place on top of other designs? Tick this on so there's no white box around it.

Clean / import-friendly output

Leave this on. It adds a tidy header so the SVG imports smoothly into CorelDRAW, Illustrator, and Inkscape.

Output File Name

Sets how files are named. Use {{name}} for the original PDF name and {{n}} for the page number.

Example: a PDF called invoice.pdf with the pattern {{name}}_page{{n}} produces invoice_page1.svg, invoice_page2.svg, … Names are always kept unique, so nothing gets overwritten.

Export Config

Pages to export — All pages converts the whole document, Current page only exports just the one you're previewing.

Package — ZIP of SVG files bundles everything into one download (recommended for many pages). Individual SVG downloads saves each page as a separate file.

CONVERT & EXPORT The blue button runs the conversion and downloads your result.

On iPhone, iPad & Safari: browsers only allow one download at a time, so multiple pages are automatically bundled into a single ZIP for you. Just unzip it to get the separate SVGs.

Opening your SVG in design software

A true CorelDRAW .cdr file can't be made from a PDF, but CorelDRAW imports SVG perfectly — with editable shapes, paths, and curves.

CorelDRAW: File → Import → choose your .svg → click on the page. Everything comes in as editable vectors.

Adobe Illustrator: File → Open (or Place) the SVG.

Inkscape (free): File → Open the SVG directly.

Tip for print & logos: after importing into CorelDRAW, select the text and use Convert to Curves (Ctrl+Q). This turns letters into vector shapes so the layout can never shift, even on a computer that doesn't have the font.

Tips & common questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens entirely on your device. Closing the tab erases everything.

The export is a big file — why?
"Embed fonts" packs the fonts (and any images) inside the SVG so it's fully self-contained. Switch to Reference fonts for a smaller file.

My text looks right but I can't select/edit the letters in CorelDRAW.
That's normal for this kind of conversion — the text is drawn using the embedded font. It always looks correct. To edit wording freely, recreate the text box in CorelDRAW, or use Convert to Curves to reshape it.

A PDF with see-through (transparent) effects looks solid after converting.
Some PDF transparency effects get flattened during conversion. Simple shapes and artwork convert faithfully; heavy layered transparency may not.

One page wouldn't convert.
The tool skips a problem page and still exports the rest, then tells you which page was skipped — your other pages are safe.

Nothing downloaded.
Check your browser didn't block the download, then try again. On Safari/iOS the files arrive as a single ZIP.
