Convert PNG to SVG (vectorize)

PNG and JPG are raster images: grids of pixels. Enlarge them and they get blurry or blocky. SVG is a vector format: it describes shapes with paths and fills, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size, from a favicon to a billboard.

Vectorizing (also called tracing) analyzes the colored areas of a raster image and turns their outlines into vector paths. It works best on images made of flat colors and clear edges:

• logos and icons,
• line art, drawings and cartoons,
• signatures and stamps,
• simple illustrations and text graphics.

Photos can be traced too, but they turn into thousands of small shapes, which makes a large, slow file that looks like a poster effect.

After picking a preset, fine-tune:

• Number of colors (2–64): fewer colors give cleaner, smaller SVGs.
• Remove specks smaller than (0–40 px): filters out tiny noise shapes.
• Processing size: 600, 1000 or 1600 px. Larger is more precise but slower; the SVG itself scales to any size either way.

• Start with the cleanest source. A large, sharp PNG traces far better than a small, blurry JPG.
• Crop tightly around the logo with Crop image before converting.
• Reduce colors for logos. Most logos use two to six colors; extra colors often come from anti-aliasing at edges.
• Raise the speck filter if you see dots and noise.
• Signatures: photograph or scan the signature on white paper, use the Black and white preset, then place the SVG in documents at any size.
• Check the path count. The tool shows how many paths the SVG has. Over a few thousand, it may open slowly in other apps; try the Logo or Poster preset.

• Open and edit it in vector apps such as Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity Designer or Figma.
• Use it directly on websites, where it stays sharp on every screen.
• Send it to sign makers, vinyl cutters, laser engravers and embroidery services, which often ask for vector files.
• Export it back to a PNG of any size with SVG to PNG.

Transparent backgrounds: with the color presets, transparent areas of a PNG stay transparent in the SVG, so a logo traced from a transparent PNG can sit on any background. The Black and white preset places the image on white first, so transparent areas become white.

A quick check before you send it off: open the SVG in your browser, zoom in to 400%, and look at curves and corners. If edges look wobbly, trace again from a larger source or with the Smooth preset.

The tracing runs entirely in your browser; your image is never uploaded.
