How do I convert an SVG file to PFM using this tool?

Upload your SVG, set the output DPI (e.g., 72, 300, or custom), and choose whether to use linear or sRGB color space. Then click 'Convert' to rasterize the vector into a floating-point PFM image. Once processed, download the .pfm file directly from your browser.

Why should I convert SVG to PFM instead of keeping it as SVG?

SVG is a vector format for web and design, while PFM is a floating-point raster format used in HDR imaging, 3D rendering, and scientific computing. Conversion is necessary when your pipeline requires precise pixel-level luminance values—e.g., for HDR compositing, radiance maps, or processing in tools like MATLAB that don't natively read SVG.

What happens to SVG transparency, layers, and geometry during PFM conversion?

SVG layers are flattened during rasterization—PFM has no layer support. Transparency is not preserved because PFM stores only RGB float values (no alpha channel); transparent areas are typically rendered as white or black depending on your background setting. Vector geometry is resolved to pixels at the chosen DPI, with anti-aliasing applied to smooth edges. Color profiles are not embedded, so ensure your linear/sRGB setting matches your workflow.
