Turn raster artwork into scalable SVG paths

Trace PNG and JPG artwork into SVG files made of editable vector paths. Choose a preset, adjust the palette and curves, and compare a real vector preview with your source before exporting.

Pixel-based artwork becomes editable paths, curves and fills in an SVG file.

How to trace an image to SVG with the Illustration preset

Features and controls

Start with a tracing preset

Choose Logo, Illustration or Line art as a starting point.

Which preset fits your image

Logo is a useful starting point for simple marks and flat artwork. Illustration keeps a richer color treatment. Line art starts a black-and-white trace. Presets set several tracing controls together; you can refine them afterward. Sharp, uncluttered source artwork generally produces cleaner paths than a photograph.

Control the palette

Use Color or Black and white, then adjust the relevant control.

Colors and threshold

Color mode lets you request between 2 and 32 colors; the source may contain fewer usable colors than the requested palette. Black and white uses Black and white threshold from 0 to 255 to decide which areas become dark shapes. These are conventional image-processing and tracing controls; no generative AI is used.

Refine curves and small details

Adjust Detail, Smooth curves and Remove small speckles.

How the controls change the vector

Detail ranges from 1 to 5. Smooth curves changes how closely the paths follow small edge variations. Remove small speckles removes small isolated marks. More detail can increase the path count and file size; stronger cleanup can remove dots or small lettering that you intended to keep. Use the preview to judge the tradeoff.

Choose a transparent or white background

Background offers Preserve transparency and White.

Existing transparency and opaque images

In Color mode, Preserve transparency keeps existing clear areas; it does not remove an opaque background. Black and white tracing keeps dark shapes and makes light areas transparent. Choose White to place either trace on an opaque white canvas. Semi-transparent pixels are simplified during tracing, so soft edges can change.

Compare a real vector preview

Select Update preview, then use Original, Vector or Compare.

Preview and final tracing resolution

The selected image is traced for preview at up to 1200 pixels on its longest side. Compare uses a divider to inspect the source and trace. Final conversion traces up to 2048 pixels on the longest side, while the SVG keeps the original dimensions and viewBox. The preview may therefore differ in small details from the final file. Changing a control requires a new preview to show that setting.

Download editable vector paths

Save one SVG or a ZIP containing the batch.

What you can edit afterward

The result contains vector paths rather than an embedded copy of the original bitmap. Open the SVG in a compatible vector editor to adjust paths and fills. Lettering is traced into shapes, not recognized as editable text. Each input uses the same settings and keeps its basename where possible; duplicate names receive a suffix.

Files and processing

Input
PNG, JPG and JPEG
Output
SVG; ZIP for multiple results

25 MB maximum per file. Up to 10 input files per run. 250 MB maximum combined upload.

Sources are limited to 60 megapixels each. Preview tracing uses up to a 1200-pixel longest side; final tracing uses up to 2048 pixels. Resource and output-complexity limits can reject unusually detailed images.

Files are processed on the server. Preview preparation may also upload a file when browser decoding is unavailable or a document preview is needed. Server downloads are available to your session for up to two hours.

For an image result, use Continue to below the download results to choose a compatible next step. You can select which images to carry over; the next tool starts with its own settings.

Refreshing an editor or download page returns you to the tool page. Download the result before starting a new workflow. See our Privacy Policy for file handling.

FAQ

Good to know.

A few answers before you get started.

Temporary server processing
Is the result a real vector SVG?

Yes. The tracing process creates SVG paths and fills. It does not simply place the original PNG or JPG inside an SVG wrapper.

Which images work best?

Logos, icons, line drawings and illustrations with clear edges work best. Photographs can create many shapes and a stylized result, so compare the preview and keep the raster original when photographic detail matters.

Can I convert PNG and JPG images in one batch?

Yes. Image to SVG accepts PNG, JPG and JPEG together. The same tracing settings apply to the batch. Use the thumbnails to inspect a preview of each input before Start.

Can I edit text in the SVG?

Visible letters become traced vector shapes. They are not editable text objects. Use Image to Text if you need recognized text.

Why is the final trace different from the preview?

Preview tracing is limited to a 1200-pixel longest side, while the final trace uses up to 2048 pixels. A larger final trace may retain more small edges and details. The SVG still uses the original image dimensions.
