Turn a raster image into a scalable vector

PNG and JPG files are made of pixels, so they get blurry or blocky when you enlarge them. An SVG describes the same picture with mathematical shapes instead, which means it stays perfectly sharp at any size — on a business card, a billboard or a high-density phone screen. This image to SVG converter traces the outlines of each color region in your picture and rebuilds them as vector paths. It is ideal for recovering a logo when you only have a small PNG, turning a scanned sketch or signature into clean line art, preparing artwork for a cutting plotter or laser engraver, or making lightweight icons for a website.

Tracing runs entirely in your browser using the open-source imagetracerjs library. Your image is never uploaded, so confidential drafts and client artwork stay on your device. Large images are scaled down to the chosen trace resolution first to keep the process fast, and the resulting SVG is scaled back up so it keeps the original dimensions.

Choosing colors, detail and smoothing

The colors slider sets how many flat colors the image is reduced to before tracing. Two colors give a crisp black-and-white stencil, 8–16 colors suit most logos and illustrations, and higher values keep more shading at the cost of a bigger file. The detail setting controls how closely paths follow the pixels and how small a shape can be before it is ignored: Low produces smooth, compact output, High keeps fine features and tiny specks. Pre-blur softens noise and JPEG artifacts before tracing, which removes jagged edges and stray dots in photos and low-quality scans.

Tips for the cleanest result

Start with the largest, cleanest source you have and crop away anything you do not need. For logos, try few colors with Medium detail first and only increase them if parts disappear. Watch the path count and file size shown after each run: a simple icon should need tens or hundreds of paths, not tens of thousands. The downloaded SVG includes a viewBox, so it scales responsively in HTML and CSS, and it can be opened in any vector editor to recolor shapes, delete the background layer or simplify paths further.

  2. Choose optionsSet the number of colors, the detail level, optional smoothing and the trace resolution.
  3. VectorizeClick Vectorize and compare the SVG preview with the original and its file size.
  4. Download SVGSave the scalable SVG file and use it in your design or website.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded to convert it to SVG?
No. The image is decoded and traced with the imagetracerjs library directly in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
What kind of images vectorize best?
Logos, icons, flat illustrations, cartoons, signatures and screenshots with clear edges and few colors. Detailed photos can be traced too, but the SVG becomes large and looks posterized.
How do I make the SVG file smaller?
Lower the number of colors, choose Low detail and add some pre-blur. Each color becomes a separate layer of paths, so fewer colors and fewer tiny shapes mean fewer paths and a lighter file.
Is the result a true vector file?
Yes. The output contains only SVG paths filled with solid colors, with no embedded bitmap, so it can be scaled to any size and edited in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma or a text editor.
