SVG converter.
Convert any image to SVG.

Two kinds of “convert to SVG”

Not every tool that promises to convert to SVG does the same thing. Some simply embed your PNG or JPG inside an SVG file. The file ends in .svg, but inside is still the same bitmap, so it blurs when enlarged and cannot be cut, edited or recolored as shapes.

A real SVG converter traces the image. It finds the areas of color and their edges, then writes them as vector paths. That is what this converter does. Open the output in a text editor and you will see path data, not a base64 picture. That is the difference that matters for printing, cutting machines and logo work.

Supported input formats

PNG, including transparent PNG, is the best input for logos and icons. JPG and JPEG work well for scans and sketches, though compression noise can add specks. WEBP, the format many websites now serve, is decoded directly. GIF is supported (the first frame of an animation is used) and suits simple flat graphics with few colors. BMP files, common from old software and scanners, are lossless and trace cleanly.

This tool converts images to SVG. It does not convert SVG to PNG or other formats, and it does not convert PDF, EPS or AI files.

Where you can use the SVG file

SVG is the most widely supported vector format. You can open the converted file in Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, Affinity Designer, CorelDRAW and Canva, upload it to Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio, use it with laser cutters and vinyl plotters, and place it straight into a web page, where it stays sharp on every screen. Because SVG is plain text, simple graphics are often tiny and compress very well.

Getting the best conversion

Upload the biggest, cleanest original you have, and crop to the part you need. Start with the Logo preset, since fewer colors mean cleaner shapes and a smaller file. Use Line art for drawings and signatures. Move to Illustration or Detailed only when important colors disappear. If you need perfect geometry for a brand logo, use the SVG as a base and refine it in a vector editor.

What happens when you press Vectorize

Your browser scales the picture so its longest side is at most 2000 pixels and traces it locally in a Web Worker, so the image never leaves your device. It runs a classic tracing algorithm (the open-source imagetracerjs library): it reduces the image to a small palette, finds the outline of every area that shares a color, and fits straight lines and quadratic curves along those outlines. The result is a standard SVG file made of filled paths that you can open in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, Affinity Designer, or any web browser.

This is a tracer, not an AI model. It does not invent detail, guess what is behind an object, or redraw your artwork in a new style. It follows the edges that are actually in your pixels. That makes it fast, predictable and cheap, and it means the output is only as clean as the input.

Choosing the right preset

Logo uses a small palette and smooth curves, which suits flat logos, icons, stickers and badges. Illustration keeps more colors for flat cartoon artwork. Line art produces a two-tone result for sketches, signatures, stamps and scanned ink drawings. Detailed keeps the most colors and the finest shapes; it is the closest you will get to a photo, but files get large and the look is posterized rather than photographic.

If the first result looks noisy, try a simpler preset before anything else. Fewer colors almost always means cleaner shapes and a smaller file.

Honest limits

Photographs, soft gradients, fur, hair and heavy textures do not become crisp vectors with any tracer. You will get a poster-style SVG with visible color bands. Very small text (under roughly 12 pixels tall in the source) may merge or lose its counters. Because images are scaled to 2000 pixels before tracing, extremely detailed artwork can lose fine lines. For production logos, treat the SVG as a strong starting point and tidy it up in a vector editor.

If a conversion fails, no credit is taken.

Privacy and file handling

Your image never leaves your browser: tracing runs on your device and the SVG is created locally. We do not keep a gallery of uploads or use your images to train anything. You need a free account so that credits can be tracked; each successful conversion costs 1 credit.
