How to convert PS to SVG
- Add your .PS file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .SVG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .SVG file.
What to expect
- Multi-page
.psdocuments cannot convert all at once - SVG is a single-image format; split pages with Ghostscript first. - Text in PostScript is usually converted to outlined paths, so characters look correct in the SVG but cannot be edited as text.
- Raster images embedded in the
.psstay rasterized inside the SVG - only vector content becomes resolution-independent paths.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a multi-page PS file to SVG?
Not in one step - extract individual pages first with Ghostscript (
gs -dFirstPage=N -dLastPage=N) and then convert each page separately.Will the converted SVG stay sharp at any size?
Yes, for vector content; any raster images embedded in the original
.ps file remain rasterized inside the SVG.Why does Inkscape show a blank page when I open my PS file?
Ghostscript is either not installed or not on the system PATH - Inkscape needs it to interpret PostScript before it can display anything.
Can I edit the text after converting to SVG?
Usually no - PostScript text is converted to outlined paths, so characters look right but cannot be changed as editable text.
