Convert Images to SVG Vectors
An SVG is made of shapes instead of pixels, so it stays sharp at any size and is easy to recolour in a design app. The Image to SVG converter traces your picture into vector paths: pick what kind of image it is, choose how many colours to keep, and download the SVG. Tracing happens in your browser, so the image is never uploaded.
Your image is processed by your own browser and never uploaded. Many online editors send your photo to their servers and delete it later — this one never receives it at all.
Why use Image to SVG
- Presets for logos, illustrations, photos (poster effect) and black-and-white line art
- Choose from 2 to 64 colours
- Removes tiny specks for cleaner, smaller files
- Keeps the original width and height, with a viewBox so the SVG scales cleanly
- Preview before you download
- Traces in a background worker, so the page stays responsive
Popular uses
- Turning a PNG logo into an SVG for a website or print
- Vectorizing a scanned signature, stamp or sketch
- Converting icons for use in a design system
- Making a poster-style vector version of a photo
Image to SVG: frequently asked questions
What kind of images convert best to SVG?
Logos, icons, flat illustrations and black-and-white drawings with clear edges and a limited number of colours. Photos can be traced too, but they become a poster-like picture made of areas of colour, not a photorealistic vector.
How many colours should I choose?
About as many as your image really has: 2 for black-and-white line art, 4 to 8 for most logos and 16 or more for detailed illustrations. More colours give more detail but a bigger, more complex file.
Can I edit the SVG afterwards?
Yes. The file contains ordinary vector paths, so you can open it in Inkscape, Illustrator, Figma or any other vector editor to change colours or remove shapes.
Why is my SVG file so big?
Every area of colour becomes a path, so detailed images and many colours create large SVGs. Choose fewer colours, keep 'Remove small specks' on, or start from a simpler image.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The tracing runs in your browser on your own device.
