Convert raster images to SVG vector format

Works with any file size -- files over 50MB may just take a little longer

What is this tool?

Converts a raster image (like a JPG or PNG) into a real SVG vector file -- actual scalable paths traced from your image, not just the original picture embedded inside an SVG wrapper. A true vector can be scaled to any size with no quality loss at all, which is what makes this genuinely useful for a logo or simple graphic that needs to work at both a tiny favicon size and a huge banner. Runs entirely in your browser -- the image never leaves your device. Honestly: this works well for simple, high-contrast art -- logos, icons, line drawings. A detailed photo can be traced too, but the tracing process itself is lossy in a different way than resizing is -- fine detail and subtle color gradients get simplified into flat color regions, so a traced photo looks noticeably different from the original, not identical-but-scalable.

How to use it

Upload your image, adjust the number of colors if needed, and the tool traces it into vector paths. Preview and download the resulting SVG file. Very large or highly detailed images may take a while to trace, or produce an unwieldy result -- simple, high-contrast source images convert fastest and cleanest.

This works best on simple, high-contrast images like logos or line drawings — a detailed photo will convert but often produces an unwieldy, overly complex SVG rather than a clean result. Fewer colors generally means a cleaner, simpler trace; more colors captures more detail but produces a larger, more complex file.
