image to svg.
Trace raster illustrations into editable SVG paths in-browser using real bitmap vectorization—not an embedded PNG.
JPG, PNG, WebP where supported • One or two source files • Processed locally

Vectorization translates image regions into mathematical paths. Simple logos and flat illustrations often convert cleanly. Photographs, noise and very fine details can produce many small shapes, so a high-resolution raster does not guarantee a small SVG. Use fewer colors and more simplification for icons.
- Upload a PNG, JPG or WebP image.
- Select color count and tracing precision; preview raster beside the generated paths.
- Download actual SVG markup and test it in your editor.
Accuracy, privacy and limitations
Uses an open-source tracing engine downloaded from a CDN; if unavailable the page reports it instead of providing a fake conversion. Results are approximate and may need manual path editing.
Practical advice for a cleaner result
Always keep a copy of your source files. Compare the new image at 100% zoom, test it in the application where it will be used, and make one change at a time when a result looks unexpected. Browser memory limits depend on device and image dimensions.
image to svg FAQ
Does the SVG contain real vector paths?+
Yes. The tracing engine outputs paths rather than wrapping a raster image.
Is image to SVG the same as SVG to PNG?+
No. Vectorization constructs paths from pixels, while SVG-to-PNG rasterizes existing paths.
Does it make photographic artwork infinitely detailed?+
No. Tracing simplifies visible regions and may not preserve texture.
