I built this tool to be fast, accurate, and simple — but what's happening under the hood?
The Basic Flow:
- Your PDF is rendered in the browser: The tool loads and displays your PDF so you can see it.
- You draw a selection over a figure or diagram: Simply select the region you want to snip.
- Extraction of drawing commands: The tool extracts the drawing commands (lines, curves, shapes) solely from that region.
- Grouping into a single SVG: These commands are then grouped into one clean
<svg>element with the proper viewBox. - Final Result: You receive a compact, ready-to-use SVG snip that looks great anywhere you embed it.
