Vectorize an image to SVG

Drop a PNG or JPG and get a real SVG back: paths, not pixels. Pick a tracing preset (2-color logo, flat art, detailed), preview the result side by side, and download. Everything runs in your browser, so the image never uploads anywhere.

About the image vectorizer

Vectorizing converts a raster image, a grid of pixels, into SVG paths that scale to any size without blurring. The tracer here posterizes the image into a fixed number of color layers and fits curves around each region, which is why it shines on the things people actually vectorize: logos, icons, stickers, flat illustrations and lettering. A two-color logo traces almost losslessly; a photograph becomes a stylized poster rather than a faithful copy, because photographic gradients do not decompose into clean paths. The three presets map to those cases. Logo mode flattens to two colors and drops tiny specks, which cleans up JPG compression noise around edges for free. Flat art keeps six colors, and Detailed keeps sixteen for artwork with shading. If your goal is a logo you can print at any size, this pairs naturally with the AI logo generator: generate the concept there, vectorize it here, and you leave with an SVG.

How it works

1

Drop your image

Drag and drop or click to browse. The file stays in your browser, nothing is uploaded anywhere.

2

Adjust the settings

Pick the options you need. The preview updates instantly so you see exactly what you will get.

3

Download

One click and the result saves to your device. Free, no watermark, no signup.

Tips for best results

Things that meaningfully improve the output.

1

Flat sources trace best

Logos, icons and screenshots of lettering come out nearly identical to the source. Photos come out posterized: sometimes a great effect, never a faithful copy.

2

Fewer colors, cleaner paths

Every extra color adds a traced layer. Start with the Logo preset and only move up if the result loses shapes you need.

3

Clean input, clean output

JPG artifacts around edges become jagged paths. If you have a PNG original, feed that instead of a screenshot of it.

4

Check the file size

The size readout under the preview is your complexity meter. An SVG bigger than the source raster means the image was not vector material.

Frequently asked questions

Is the output a real SVG?

Yes: standard SVG paths you can open in Illustrator, Figma or Inkscape and edit node by node. Not a raster embedded in an SVG wrapper, which is the trick some converters pull.

Does my image get uploaded?

No. The tracer is a small JavaScript library running in your browser; the image never leaves your device.

Why does my photo look like a poster?

Tracing quantizes the image into flat color regions before fitting paths. Photographs have continuous gradients, so they flatten into bands. For enlarging a photo without that, use the image upscaler instead.

Can I vectorize an AI-generated logo?

That is the ideal pipeline: generate the logo concept with the AI logo generator, pick the winner, and trace it here with the Logo preset. Constrain the generation to flat colors and the trace comes out near-perfect.

Is it free?

Completely: no signup, no watermark, no limit. It costs us nothing to run because your browser does the work.
