Free online MET to SVG converter

Older OS/2 graphics saved as MET may not open in current vector-editing or web tools. Converting them to SVG makes the artwork easier to scale, share, and edit in software that supports SVG.

What the MET format is

In the Graphics category, MET refers to the OS/2 Presentation Manager Metafile format. OS/2 Presentation Manager applications used it to store graphics as drawing instructions, so MET files are typically vector-oriented rather than ordinary pixel images. You may encounter them in legacy OS/2 documents and graphics collections.

What the SVG format is

SVG is an XML-based vector format supported by web browsers and many illustration and page-layout programs. Its paths and shapes can be resized without the pixelation associated with raster images, and they can usually be edited as separate objects. SVG can also contain text and embedded raster images.

How to convert MET to SVG

Online on 101convert.com

1. Open the MET-to-SVG converter page on 101convert.com and upload the MET file.
2. Start the conversion, then download the resulting SVG.

The page can process several files in one batch. Check its displayed per-file size limit before uploading. Conversion runs on the service’s server.

Offline with desktop software

LibreOffice Draw is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux and can open MET files and export SVG. Open the file with File → Open, then choose File → Export, select SVG as the file type, and save.

Quality and compatibility

SVG can preserve vector geometry, but the result may differ if the MET file uses fonts or drawing features that the converter cannot reproduce. Check text, line styles, and object placement in the exported file; substituted fonts can change spacing and layout.
