How to convert FILE to SVG
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a resolution-independent format that describes images using mathematical paths rather than pixels. This makes SVG ideal for logos, icons, illustrations, and any graphic that must look sharp at any size, from a 16x16 favicon to a building-sized print. Converting a raster image (PNG, JPG, BMP, etc.) to SVG involves tracing the pixel shapes into vector paths, a process called vectorization or rasterization-to-vector. The conversion runs in your browser using a WebAssembly-compiled tracing library.
Vectorization works best on images with clean, high-contrast areas: logos on white backgrounds, line art, simple icons. It does not work well on photographs or images with complex gradients, where the output SVG may have millions of tiny paths that are larger in file size than the original JPG and still look pixelated when zoomed. For photographic images, consider whether SVG is really the right target format or whether PNG at a higher resolution would serve better.
Upload your raster image
Drop a PNG, JPG, BMP, or similar format onto the converter. PNG with a transparent background gives the cleanest vectorization results for logos.
Adjust tracing settings
Set the color threshold and number of colors. Fewer colors produce simpler SVG paths; more colors preserve detail but increase file complexity.
Preview the vector output
Compare the SVG preview against the original. Zoom in to check whether the traced paths are clean and smooth.
Download the SVG
Save the .svg file. Open it in Inkscape, Illustrator, or Figma to refine the paths manually if needed.
Frequently asked questions
Will a photographic image convert well to SVG?
No. Photos have millions of color variations that produce extremely complex SVG files. Vectorization is best suited to logos, icons, and simple flat graphics.
Why might the SVG file be larger than the original PNG?
Each color boundary becomes a vector path. Complex images generate thousands of paths, making the SVG larger and harder to edit than the original raster. For photos, JPG or PNG is almost always the right choice.
Can I edit the SVG paths after conversion?
Yes. Open the file in Inkscape (free) or Adobe Illustrator. The paths are fully editable; you can smooth curves, merge shapes, and simplify the output.
What bit depth works best for vectorization?
Clean 1-bit or limited-palette images (logos on white, simple flat illustrations) trace most accurately. The fewer colors, the cleaner the paths.
Does the conversion run on my device or on a server?
Entirely on your device via WebAssembly. No file upload occurs, which means there is no file size limit and your image stays private.
