Free online MET to PDF converter

Legacy OS/2 graphics may arrive as MET files, while print shops, document workflows, and recipients commonly require PDF. Converting the metafile makes the drawing easier to share and print without requiring OS/2 software to view it.

What the MET format is

In the Graphics context, MET refers to an OS/2 Presentation Manager metafile. It stores drawing instructions and may include raster elements; it was created by graphics and document applications on OS/2 that saved Presentation Manager metafiles. You are most likely to encounter it in older OS/2 files or archives.

What the PDF format is

PDF is a page-description format used for documents that need consistent viewing and printing across systems. It can preserve vector drawing content, include raster images and fonts, and is supported by common PDF viewers; PDF/A is a PDF variant intended for long-term archiving.

How to convert MET to PDF

2. Choose whether to create PDF/A and set the PDF image quality if needed.
3. Convert the file and download the resulting PDF.

The conversion runs on the service’s server with LibreOffice.

Offline with desktop software

LibreOffice Draw is free and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the MET file using File → Open, then export it with File → Export As → Export as PDF. In the PDF options, choose any needed export settings and confirm the export.

Quality and compatibility

MET is an older format, so unsupported drawing operations or unavailable fonts may change appearance during import. Check the exported PDF against the original; vector elements can remain scalable when imported as vectors, while raster elements retain their source resolution.
