WMF vs. SVG Comparison
| Feature | WMF | SVG |
|---|---|---|
| Platform support | Windows only | Universal |
| Web browsers | None | All modern |
| Editable with | Legacy tools | Any text/vector editor |
| CSS styling | No | Yes |
| Scalability | Vector | Vector |
Practical Tips
- SVG preserves vector data from the WMF source, keeping graphics infinitely scalable.
- Clean up the SVG in Inkscape or a text editor after conversion if needed — some legacy WMF quirks may produce extra nodes.
- Use SVG for websites where you previously relied on rasterized WMF clip art.
Will old clip art convert correctly?
Most standard WMF shapes and paths convert well. Some legacy GDI drawing operations may need minor manual adjustment in the resulting SVG.
Can I edit the SVG after conversion?
Yes. SVG is a text-based format editable in any vector editor (Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator) or even a plain text editor.
