Image to SVG Converter

Convert an image to a real SVG — genuine vector paths you can scale to any size, not a bitmap in a wrapper. Turn a PNG, JPG or WEBP logo, icon or flat graphic into a clean SVG. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Fewer colors trace cleaner, smaller SVGs (great for logos); more colors follow the original but grow the file. Large images are scaled down before tracing — the SVG stays scalable.

How to Convert an Image to SVG

Three steps, all in your browser.

1

Add your image

Drag a PNG, JPG or WEBP onto the drop zone or click to browse — GIF and BMP work too. A clean logo, icon or piece of flat art converts best. The file never leaves your device.

2

Set the detail

Use the Colors slider to choose how many colors the SVG keeps. Fewer colors give bold, clean shapes and a small file; more colors capture detail at the cost of size. Sixteen is a good starting point.

3

Convert and download

Click Convert to trace the image into vector paths, preview the SVG, and download it. Open it in a vector editor to scale, recolor or clean it up — it is a true SVG, not a wrapped bitmap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this convert my image into a real SVG?
Yes — the tool runs a real vectorizer in your browser: the image is reduced to a small palette of colors and each color region is traced into genuine SVG path shapes, not a bitmap hidden inside an SVG wrapper. The result is a true vector you can scale to any size, recolor or edit in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma. Every path is written with a viewBox and coordinates rounded to one decimal place, so the file opens cleanly.
Which image formats can I convert to SVG?
Image to SVG accepts PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF and BMP as input. Flat, simple graphics — logos, icons, line art, silhouettes and clip-art with a few solid colors — convert cleanest and smallest. Photographs and images with gradients or fine texture do not vectorize well: they produce a large SVG made of thousands of blotchy shapes that looks worse than the original.
What does the Colors slider do?
The Colors slider sets how many colors the image is reduced to before tracing, anywhere from 2 to 64. Fewer colors give a cleaner, smaller SVG with bold flat shapes — ideal for logos. More colors follow the original more closely but make a larger, busier file. It starts at 16, which suits most logos: drop it for a poster-like look, raise it if detail is being lost.
Why does the SVG look a little different from my image?
Turning an image into a vector is an approximation, so the SVG is never pixel-identical to the source. Edges are smoothed into curves and colors are snapped to the palette, so fine detail and anti-aliased edges shift slightly. Very large images are also scaled down to 512 pixels on the longest side before tracing, then scaled back up, which softens hairline detail. Raising the color count and using a clean, high-contrast source reduces the difference.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No — your images are never uploaded. The conversion runs entirely in your browser: the image is read, vectorized and downloaded on your own device, never sent to a server, logged or stored. The tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded, and closing the tab clears everything.

More Image Conversions

This is the same in-browser tracer as PNG to SVG and the Image to Vector converter — pick whichever name fits what you're doing. Going the other way? The SVG Converter rasterizes an SVG back to PNG or JPG. To convert between pixel formats, the same engine handles PNG to JPG, JPG to PNG and WebP to PNG — or open the full Image Converter for every format pair.
