Turn Raster Images into Infinite Vectors

Bitmap images (JPG, PNG) lose quality when resized, but SVGs stay sharp at any scale. This tool uses your device's processing power to trace contours and shapes, converting pixel-based photos into mathematical vectors. Because it runs locally on your browser, it's faster than cloud converters and guarantees your data never leaves your computer.

How to Vectorize an Image

1. Upload Your Image

Drag and drop a JPG or PNG file. High-contrast images with clear lines yield the best vector results.

For logos, the 'Black & White' mode often produces the cleanest edges.

2. Adjust Trace Settings

Use the 'Color Count' slider to balance between photo-realism and file size. Lowering noise reduction helps capture fine details.

Range: 16-32 colors is usually the sweet spot for illustrations.

3. Download SVG

Once satisfied with the preview, click download. The file is ready for editing in Illustrator, Inkscape, or for web use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What images work best for vectorization?
Simple graphics, logos, and high-contrast illustrations work best. Photographs can be converted but will result in a stylized, 'posterized' artistic look rather than a photorealistic copy.
Q.Can I use the output for commercial print?
Yes. The generated SVGs are path-based and resolution-independent, making them perfect for screen printing, vinyl cutting, or CNC plotting.
Q.Does this support transparency?
Yes, if your input PNG has transparency, the engine attempts to preserve it, though checking the 'remove background' via color settings might require manual tweaking in a vector editor later.
Q.Why does the conversion take time on mobile?
Vectorization is mathematically intensive. Since we don't use powerful servers (to protect your privacy), your phone's processor handles the math. Older devices might take 5-10 seconds for complex photos.
