PDF vs SVG: what changes when you convert
PDF (Portable Document Format) was introduced in 1993 by Adobe and is best known for documents, printing, sharing multi-page content. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), created by the W3C, is the better choice when you need icons, logos, and illustrations that must stay sharp at any size.
Why convert? SVG files are typically much smaller than PDF — expect a noticeable reduction in file size.
Each page of your PDF is rendered as a separate SVG image, so a 10-page document produces 10 images ready to use in slides, websites, or messages.
