Why convert PDF to SVG?

PDF (Portable Document Format) — Adobe's vector and raster document format. PixelCrush extracts each page as an individual image for conversion.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) — XML-based vector format. Scales losslessly at any size, ideal for logos and icons. PixelCrush rasterizes source SVGs and vectorizes raster targets via automatic tracing.

Converting PDF to SVG typically reduces file size while preserving a visual quality close to the original. Beware: moving from a lossy format to a lossless one does not improve quality — it can actually inflate file size.
