1. Local tools
SVG cleanup, preview, code, path, viewBox, color and stroke editing, React conversion, and file export run in browser code.
How it works
What runs locally and what uses AI
PDFSVG keeps file tools in the browser where possible. The AI generator is separate because it needs to send your prompt to an AI service.
2. AI SVG generation
Prompt to SVG sends your prompt to an AI service and returns SVG code for local preview.
3. Conversion limits
Scanned PDFs, embedded fonts, masks, and print workflows usually need a more specialized converter.
PDFSVG separates local file tools from AI code generation. SVG cleaning, SVG to PDF, and SVG to React run in the browser. Prompt to SVG sends only your prompt and style choice to the AI provider.
Why some PDFs cannot become clean SVG
PDF is a finished page format. SVG is editable web vector artwork. PDFSVG can test page 1 of a simple vector PDF and export basic paths when they are available. Scanned documents, text-heavy pages, masks, images, and print effects often need tracing, a desktop converter, or manual cleanup.
Why AI is used for code
AI works better when it writes or refactors SVG code than when it tries to reproduce an arbitrary file exactly. That is why the first AI feature is prompt to SVG, not AI-powered file conversion.
Choose the next step
For a private file workflow, start with local SVG to PDF conversion. If you want to create a new graphic, read the prompt to SVG guide. Before publishing an exported or generated file, work through the SVG cleanup checklist.
