Raster to SVG tracing

Image → SVG

Trace logos, icons, and flat artwork into scalable SVG vector graphics.

✓ No account✓ Files stay in this tab during conversion✓ No watermarks

PNG/JPG/WebP → SVG

Best for logos, icons, and flat illustrations with clear edges and a limited colour palette.

Path tracing
Drop raster images here

Up to 30 files, each at most 4 megapixels. Use simple, high-contrast artwork; detailed photos make complex SVGs.

How to get beautiful SVG results

Simple tips that work for most people.

SVG stores shapes, raster images store pixels. When you convert raster → SVG, the tool must guess shapes from pixels. That’s why results vary.

  • Logos: often trace cleanly when the source is sharp and simple.
  • Photos: can become huge; still not identical.
  • More colors = closer look, bigger SVG.
  • Higher simplify = smaller SVG, less detail.

Vector settings

Start with a preset, then fine-tune only if needed.

Colour-count trade-off
More colours can follow subtle changes in the source, but they also create more paths, slower tracing, and a larger SVG. Use the lowest count that preserves the artwork you need.
Background
Transparent is best for logos and stickers.
Corner enhancement
Keep edges tighter for logos and icons.
About this conversion

What this tool does

Raster-to-SVG conversion traces coloured pixel regions into vector paths. It can make clean logos, icons, line art, and flat illustrations easier to scale, but it is an interpretation of the pixels rather than recovery of the original design file.

Instructions

How to convert your file

  1. 1

    Start with the cleanest, highest-resolution version of the artwork available.

  2. 2

    Choose a preset close to the subject: clean logo, detailed logo, illustration, soft photo, or pixel art.

  3. 3

    Adjust colour count and path detail gradually, then generate the SVG.

  4. 4

    Inspect the result at small and large sizes and check the file size before using it in production.

Settings

Choose the right export settings

Colour count
Fewer colours simplify the SVG; more colours may match gradients better but create more paths.
Path omission
Higher values remove small regions and noise. Too much can erase fine lettering or icon details.
Blur
A small blur can smooth noisy edges before tracing; it can also soften intentional corners.
Corner enhancement
Useful for geometric artwork, but organic illustrations may look more natural without it.
Trace check
Compare the outer silhouette, enclosed spaces in letters, small gaps, and colour regions with the source. Then zoom well beyond the source size and compare file sizes; reject a trace that looks worse or is needlessly larger.
Example workflow

Example: tracing a two-colour badge

Remove unnecessary background pixels first, choose the clean-logo preset, and keep the colour count close to the actual artwork. If tiny specks become paths, increase path omission slightly. Compare the trace with the source at the badge's normal display size.

Limitations

Before you download

  • Tracing cannot recover original Bézier curves, layers, fonts, or editable text from a flattened image.
  • Photographs can generate thousands of paths and an SVG larger than the source image.
  • Brand marks should be checked by the rights holder before the trace replaces an official vector master.
FAQ

Questions about Image to SVG

Is the SVG identical to original vector artwork?

No. It is a new set of paths estimated from pixels, so curves and small details can differ.

Why is my SVG so large?

High colour counts and fine detail create many paths. Simplify the source or reduce tracing complexity.

Is a photograph a good target?

Usually not. A normal raster format is typically smaller and more faithful for continuous-tone photography.
