Vector Quality from Raster Source

Logos that started as PNG often need a vector version for billboard-size printing or icon sets. The tracer converts any raster image into a real SVG with editable paths you can refine in Figma or Illustrator.

Useful for brand designers, sticker sellers, and laser-cutter operators who need scalable artwork from a low-resolution starting point.

Why Use Our Image to SVG Converter?

Real Vector Paths

The output is genuine SVG geometry, color-region paths you can open and edit in Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Sketch, or Affinity Designer. No embedded raster fallback, no lossless trickery. Each color band traces to its own `<path>` element, so you can recolor, simplify, mask, or animate any region independently.

256-Color Fidelity

Conversion runs at maximum fidelity, 256-color palette with deterministic sampling, zero minimum color ratio (rare colors kept), 10 quantisation passes, tight 0.5 line/spline error tolerances, and `roundcoords: 2` for precise curves. The result is a vector that mirrors the source image instead of a coarse 8-color cartoon trace.

Transparency Preserved

PNG, GIF, and WebP transparency survives the conversion intact. Transparent pixels are tagged with a magenta sentinel before tracing, then those sentinel paths are stripped from the SVG so you get true `none` regions instead of an opaque white rectangle behind your logo. Drop in a transparent PNG logo and get a transparent SVG logo back.

100% In-Browser

tracer engine runs entirely in your browser tab, your image is never uploaded to any server. No account, no API key, no rate limits, no watermarks. Drop in confidential logos, signed mockups, NDA-bound branding, or anything else you would never normally trust to a free online tracer.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about raster-to-vector tracing.

When should I trace a raster vs use the original raster?
Trace when you need scalable graphics, logos for billboards, app icons across DPRs, embroidery files, vinyl-cut decals, laser-cut artwork, infinitely-zoomable web hero illustrations, vector animation rigs. Stick with the original raster for photographs, complex gradients, or text-heavy screenshots, vector tracing inherently approximates color regions, so a portrait or sunset photo will look noticeably stylised after conversion. Logos, icons, flat illustrations, and high-contrast graphics convert beautifully.
How does transparency work?
Vector tracing engines treat every pixel as a color, including transparent ones (which they flatten to white by default, leaving an opaque white rectangle around your logo). To preserve transparency, this tool replaces transparent pixels with a magenta sentinel `rgb(254, 1, 251)` before tracing, then strips every path with that fill from the resulting SVG. The result is a clean transparent SVG with no white halo. Works on PNG, GIF, and WebP. JPG and BMP have no alpha channel by definition, so transparency does not apply to them.
Why is the SVG file sometimes bigger than the original raster?
A 256-color vector trace can produce thousands of paths, each color region has its own `<path>` with full coordinate data. For photos and complex images this regularly produces SVGs larger than the source PNG / JPG. For logos, icons, and flat illustrations the SVG is almost always smaller and infinitely scalable. If file size matters, run the resulting SVG through an optimizer (SVGO, SVGOMG) to drop precision and merge similar paths, or simplify the source image to a smaller palette before tracing.
Is the conversion really private?
Yes. tracer engine runs as plain JavaScript inside your browser tab, your image is loaded into a `<canvas>`, the pixel data is processed locally, and the resulting SVG is rendered straight into the page. Open the Network tab in your browser dev tools while you convert; you will see the tracer engine library loaded once from a public CDN and exactly zero outbound requests carrying your image content. Use it freely on confidential brand work, NDA-bound assets, or anything else you would not normally upload.
