How do I convert a PCF font to SVG with this tool?

Upload your PCF file via the upload button. Adjust vectorization settings (threshold, smoothing, size) if needed. Click 'Convert' to trace the bitmap glyphs into SVG paths. Download the resulting .svg file, then import it into design software or use it as a webfont.

Why should I convert PCF to SVG instead of keeping PCF?

PCF stores bitmap glyphs at fixed resolutions, making them blurry on high-DPI screens. SVG defines glyph outlines as vector paths, so they scale infinitely without quality loss. SVG is also natively supported in websites, vector editors, and modern OS font stacks, while PCF usage is largely limited to legacy X11 environments.

Does the conversion preserve the original font metrics and transparency?

Yes. The conversion traces each glyph outline from the bitmap, preserving advance widths, kerning, and baseline information. Alpha channel/transparency is retained as vector masks, and the SVG output uses the same coordinate system (subject to a configurable scale factor). However, color bitmaps are flattened to single-color or stroked outlines unless you enable color tracing.
