Image to Vector Converter

Vectorize an image — trace a raster PNG, JPG or WEBP into a true vector with real paths you can scale forever, not a bitmap in a wrapper. Best for logos, icons and flat graphics; photos don't vectorize well. 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 Vectorize an Image

Three steps, all in your browser.

1

Add your image

Drag a raster 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 vectorizes best. The file never leaves your device.

2

Set the detail

Use the Colors slider to choose how many colors the vector keeps. Fewer colors give bold, clean shapes and a small file; more colors follow the original but grow the file. Sixteen suits most logos.

3

Vectorize and download

Click Vectorize to trace the raster into real vector paths, preview the result, and download the SVG. Open it in a vector editor to scale it forever, recolor or edit it — it is a genuine vector, not a wrapped bitmap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this really vectorize my image?
Yes — the tool runs a real raster-to-vector tracer in your browser: the image is reduced to a small palette of colors and each color region is traced into genuine vector paths, written out as an SVG. It is a true vector, not a bitmap hidden inside an SVG wrapper, so you can scale it to any size, recolor it or edit the paths in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma. Opening the file confirms it: the SVG is built from <path> elements with editable points, not an embedded raster image.
What is the difference between a raster image and a vector?
A raster image (PNG, JPG, WEBP) is a fixed grid of pixels — zoom in and it goes blocky. A vector describes shapes with mathematical paths, so it stays razor-sharp at any size, from a favicon to a billboard. Vectorizing traces the pixel regions of a raster into those scalable paths. It works best on flat art like logos and icons, not photographs.
Which images vectorize well, and which don't?
Flat, simple graphics vectorize best: logos, icons, line art, silhouettes and clip-art with a few solid colors come out clean and small. Photographs and images with gradients or fine texture do not — they produce a large, blotchy vector of thousands of shapes that looks worse than the original. For those, keep the raster file.
What does the Colors slider do?
The Colors slider sets how many colors the image is reduced to before tracing, from 2 to 64. Fewer colors give a cleaner, smaller vector 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.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No — your images are never uploaded. Vectorizing runs entirely in your browser: the image is read, traced 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.

This is the same in-browser tracer as PNG to SVG and the Image to SVG 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.
