Free online ZMF to SVG converter

Web pages and vector editors commonly accept SVG when they do not support Zoner Draw’s native ZMF files. Converting lets you share the drawing as a scalable graphic while retaining vector elements where the importer can preserve them.

What the ZMF format is

ZMF is the native drawing format of Zoner Draw, a vector graphics editor; older files may come from Zoner Callisto, its earlier name. ZMF documents can contain vector objects, text, and placed images, and are most often encountered when someone shares a drawing created in that software.

What the SVG format is

SVG is an XML-based vector graphics format supported by web browsers and many illustration and layout programs. Its paths and shapes can be scaled without the pixelation of a bitmap, and can often be edited after conversion. Embedded or linked raster images remain pixel-based.

How to convert ZMF to SVG

Online on 101convert.com

1. Upload the ZMF file on the 101convert.com converter page.
2. Select SVG as the output format and start the conversion. Several files can be converted in one batch; the page shows the per-file size limit.
3. Download the converted SVG file or files.

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

Offline with desktop software

LibreOffice Draw is a free option for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the ZMF file with Draw, then choose File → Export, select SVG as the file type, set the output name, and export. If the file does not open, that LibreOffice build may lack support for the particular ZMF version or content.

Zoner Draw is the native commercial editor for ZMF. Open the drawing and use File → Export to choose SVG, if that format is offered by your version. Exporting from the originating program can help preserve Zoner-specific objects that another importer may not interpret.

Quality and compatibility

Check the exported SVG for substituted fonts, changed text spacing, missing effects, and altered object positions; these can result from differences between ZMF features and the importing or exporting software. If the drawing includes raster images, SVG does not make those images resolution-independent.
