How It Works

How to Convert PFB

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your PFB file or drag & drop it.

Locate your PFB file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Choose the format you want to convert your PFB file to and click 'Convert'.

Choose your desired format based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download your converted file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your converted file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

Q: What are the limitations of converting images to vector formats?

A: Converting raster images (like JPEG or PNG) to vector formats (like SVG or EPS) works best with simple, high-contrast images. Complex images with lots of details may not convert well into vectors, as vector files work better with clean, geometric shapes.

A: To convert a photo to a 2D illustration, you'd need to use image editing software with illustration or filter effects. RunConvert focuses on format conversions, but you can use tools like Photoshop or online AI-based apps to create an illustrated version before converting the file format.

A: Yes, you can! Just upload your SVG file, select your preferred raster format (like JPG or PNG), and we’ll convert it for you.

Q: Is RunConvert free to use?

A: Yes, we offer a free tier for image conversion. You can use it for basic conversions, but if you need faster processing or advanced features, we have premium options available too.

What is PFB (Printer Font Binary)?

PFB (Printer Font Binary) is the binary companion format to PFA, used in Adobe's Type 1 font system. It contains the same font information as PFA but in a compact binary format.

PFB files are more space-efficient than their PFA counterparts and were commonly used in Windows systems for PostScript Type 1 fonts.

The format stores vector outlines of font characters, hinting information, and metrics data needed for accurate text rendering in print and display applications.

How to open PFB files?

PFB files can be installed and used with font management tools like Adobe Type Manager, Adobe Fonts Folder, or Windows Font Viewer.

For editing PFB files, professional font design software such as FontLab Studio, Fontographer, or FontForge is required.

Unlike PFA files, PFB files cannot be meaningfully viewed in standard text editors due to their binary nature.

PFB is Developed by: Adobe Systems

PFB was Released on: 1985
