Best results with logos, icons and flat illustrations. Photographs will come out posterized - true photo vectorization is not a solvable problem in any tool.
About this tool
The opposite direction: it traces a PNG (or other raster image) into an SVG vector by detecting shapes, edges, and color regions, with adjustable detail, color count, and smoothing. It's useful for turning a simple logo or icon photo into a scalable vector you can resize infinitely, though it works best on simple, high-contrast images rather than complex photographs.
How to use this tool
- Upload a raster imageUse a clean PNG/JPG, ideally with clear edges and limited colors.
- Set tracing optionsAdjust detail, smoothing, and color count to balance precision vs file complexity.
- Preview vector outputInspect paths and edges closely, especially around text or logo contours.
- Download SVGExport once lines are clean and the file remains practical in size.
Key features
- Converts pixel graphics into infinitely scalable vector format.
- Good for logos, icons, decals, and print-ready shape workflows.
- Control over simplification to keep SVG manageable.
- Runs in browser without external design software.
Common uses
- Rebuilding low-res logo assets into scalable vectors.
- Preparing cutter/plotter-friendly artwork.
- Creating editable vector base for branding updates.
- Converting icon graphics for responsive web usage.
Tips for better results
- Use high-contrast source images for cleaner path detection.
- Reduce colors before tracing for smoother, lighter SVG files.
- Manually inspect tiny shapes that may become noise paths.
- For photos, expect stylized output rather than perfect realism.
Mistakes to avoid
- Tracing detailed photos and expecting compact professional vectors.
- Using tiny blurry source files with soft edges.
- Setting detail too high and generating unusable path-heavy output.
- Ignoring overlap artifacts around thin text and strokes.
Frequently asked questions
It works best on simple graphics like logos, icons, and line art with distinct color regions. Complex photographs with lots of gradients and fine detail produce much larger, messier SVGs and rarely look as clean as the original.
They control how closely the traced vector follows the original image's edges (higher detail = more precise but more complex paths) and how much the resulting shapes are smoothed out, trading exactness for a cleaner, simpler vector.
The tracing runs directly in your browser - your image isn't uploaded anywhere to be vectorized.
Yes. PNG To SVG is free for normal use with no account required, and ToolBox does not add a watermark to your result.
Most tools in this category run in your browser so the file stays on your device. If a tool needs a temporary server job, files are handled for that job only and are not kept as a lasting archive.
No install needed. Open PNG To SVG in your browser, add your file or paste your input, then download or copy the result.
Yes on modern mobile browsers. For large files, a desktop browser is usually faster and more reliable.
Try a different quality or format setting, use a smaller input, or open a related tool (for example compress before convert). Keep a copy of the original file before replacing it.
