About Image to SVG

Vector graphics stay sharp at any size and are easy to recolour, which is why printers, sign makers and web designers ask for SVG. This converter vectorizes JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and AVIF images by tracing their colour areas into shapes.

It does well on logos, icons, stickers and flat illustrations. Photos become a posterised artwork rather than a faithful copy. The tracing runs in your browser, so your images stay private.

The detail setting decides how many colours the tracer keeps: Simple for two-colour logos and line art, Standard for most icons and illustrations, and Detailed for drawings with shading. Fewer colours make a smaller, cleaner SVG that is easier to edit.

An animated GIF is traced from its first frame. Very large images are scaled down to 1000 pixels on their longest side before tracing, which keeps it quick and makes no difference to how sharp the SVG is. You can trace several images at once and download them together as a ZIP.

The first frame is traced. SVG files made here are still images.
