Image to SVG Converter - Vectorize Your Images
Convert JPG and PNG images to SVG vector files. Perfect for logos, icons, and illustrations. Adjustable colors and detail. 100% free, no server upload.
About This Tool
Image to SVG converts raster images (PNG, JPEG) into scalable vector graphics using automatic tracing. The resulting SVG can be scaled to any size without pixelation, making it invaluable for converting logos, icons, line art, and simple illustrations into resolution-independent vector format.

How to Use
- Upload an image by dragging or clicking (JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP).
- Choose a conversion mode: Color, Outline, or Silhouette.
- Adjust settings: number of colors, detail level, smoothing.
- Click 'Convert to SVG' and check the preview.
- Download the SVG or copy the code if you're happy with the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of images produce the best results?
Logos, icons, illustrations, and clipart with simple shapes and clear edges produce the cleanest vectors. Images with fewer colors and distinct boundaries work best.
Can I convert photos (portraits, landscapes)?
Yes, but photos will be simplified into an illustration style. Setting colors to 32-64 gives more detail but increases file size. It's great for artistic effects.
Can I edit the SVG in Illustrator?
Yes, SVG files open directly in Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, and all vector editors. You can freely modify individual paths and colors.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser. Images are never sent to any external server, ensuring complete privacy.
Should I use JPG or PNG as input?
PNG is recommended. PNG uses lossless compression so the source quality is better, and it supports transparent backgrounds. JPG compression artifacts can introduce noise in the traced output.

How It Works
The uploaded raster image is drawn onto an HTML5 Canvas and its pixel data is extracted via getImageData(). A JavaScript-based image tracing algorithm (potrace or similar) analyzes brightness thresholds and edge boundaries to produce vector paths. The algorithm converts contiguous regions into Bezier curves and straight-line segments, outputting SVG <path> elements. You can adjust the color threshold, number of colors, and curve tolerance to fine-tune the vectorization result. The final SVG markup is assembled as a string and offered for download.
The entire tracing and SVG generation process runs in your browser using the Canvas API and JavaScript. No pixel data is ever transmitted to a server β your images remain fully private.
