IMAGE → SVG
Image to SVG converter
Any raster image in — PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP — one scalable SVG out. Pixels store a grid of colored dots; SVG stores the shapes themselves, which is why it stays razor sharp at any size. This page converts between the two worlds, entirely on your device.

Which settings fit which image
- 01
Match the mode to the artwork
Logo mode for flat graphics with few colors. Detailed for illustrations with shading. Ink for scans, sketches, and anything that should become pure black-and-white linework.
- 02
Fewer colors, cleaner file
Every extra color adds paths. Slide Colors down until just before the artwork loses something — that's the sweet spot of fidelity vs. file size.
- 03
Judge at 5× zoom
Drag the zoom slider and compare panes: the pixel side goes blocky, the SVG side stays smooth. If corners look melted, raise Detail; if edges look noisy, lower it.
Questions, answered
What's actually the difference between a raster image and an SVG?+
A raster (PNG/JPG/WebP) is a fixed grid of pixels — scale it up and it blurs. An SVG is a list of geometric shapes — scale it to a billboard and edges stay perfectly sharp, and the file often gets smaller too.
Which input formats does this accept?+
PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, GIF (first frame), and BMP. If your browser can display it, the converter can trace it — decoding happens with the browser's own image engine.
Will the SVG match my image pixel-for-pixel?+
It reconstructs the shapes in the image, so flat-color artwork comes out essentially identical. Photographs come out posterized — vectors describe geometry, not continuous tone.
Is the SVG file smaller than my image?+
For logos and flat art, usually much smaller — a handful of paths instead of a million pixels. For photos and complex textures, the SVG can be larger; raster is genuinely the right format for those.
