How to convert IMAGE to SVG
SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without pixelation. Converting a raster image to SVG is a process called vectorization or tracing: the converter analyzes the pixel boundaries in your image and reconstructs them as mathematical paths and fills. The result is a scalable file you can enlarge to billboard size, edit path-by-path in a vector editor, or embed in HTML at any dimension without quality loss.
Vectorization works best on images with clear boundaries, limited colors, and flat areas such as logos, icons, and illustrations. Photographs with complex gradients do not vectorize cleanly. The conversion runs in your browser via WebAssembly, so your image is never uploaded to a server.
Upload your image
Drop a PNG, JPG, BMP, or WEBP file into the converter. Clean, high-contrast images with limited colors produce the best SVG output.
Set tracing parameters
Adjust color count, smoothing, and path simplification. Fewer colors produce simpler, smaller SVG files. More smoothing reduces jagged edges but may round sharp corners.
Preview the result
Compare the SVG preview against your original to check if critical details, especially thin lines and text, are preserved accurately.
Download the SVG
Click Download to save the .svg file. Open it in Inkscape, Illustrator, or Figma for further editing.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of images vectorize well?
Logos, icons, diagrams, clipart, and images with distinct color regions and clear edges. Photographs, skin tones, and subtle gradients produce poor results because they have too much tonal variation for simple path-based representation.
Will text in my image become editable text in the SVG?
No. Text in raster images is traced as paths, not converted back to editable text characters. For editable text, you need the original design source file.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The vectorization runs in your browser via WebAssembly. Your image stays on your device.
How do I edit the resulting SVG?
Open the SVG in Inkscape (free), Adobe Illustrator, or Figma. You can then manipulate individual paths, change fill colors, and clean up any tracing artifacts.
Why is my SVG file larger than the original PNG?
Complex raster images can produce SVG files with thousands of paths. Each path is described in text markup, which can be verbose. For photographic content, PNG or WEBP is the more efficient format.
