💡 Tips

• Trace Mode: Best for logos, icons, and simple graphics. Creates true vector paths.
• Embed Mode: Keeps original quality but larger file size. Good for complex photos.
• For best tracing results, use images with clear edges and limited colors.
• Try different presets to find the best result for your image.

What is PNG to SVG Converter?

PNG to SVG Converter is a free online tool that transforms raster images (PNG, JPG, etc.) into scalable vector graphics (SVG). Unlike raster images that pixelate when scaled, SVG files maintain crisp quality at any size, making them perfect for logos, icons, and web graphics.

Two Conversion Modes

Trace Mode (Vectorization): Analyzes your image and creates true vector paths. Best for logos, icons, line art, and images with solid colors. The resulting SVG is fully scalable and usually smaller in file size.
Embed Mode (Base64): Wraps your original image inside an SVG container as base64 data. Preserves exact image quality but doesn't create true vectors. Useful when you need SVG format but want to keep photographic detail.

Why Convert PNG to SVG?

Infinite Scalability: SVG graphics can be scaled to any size without losing quality
Smaller File Size: Traced SVGs are often smaller than the original PNG for simple graphics
Easy to Edit: SVG files can be edited with code or design software
Animation Support: SVGs can be animated with CSS or JavaScript
SEO Friendly: Search engines can read SVG content and alt text
Responsive Design: SVGs adapt perfectly to different screen sizes

How to Use

Upload your PNG, JPG, or other image file (drag & drop or click to select)
Choose conversion mode: Trace for vectorization or Embed for base64
If using Trace mode, select a preset or adjust advanced options
Click 'Convert to SVG' and wait for processing
Preview the result and download your SVG file

✅ Best Images for Tracing

Logos and brand marks with solid colors
Icons and simple illustrations
Line art and sketches
Text and typography
Cartoon-style graphics

⚠️ Not Ideal for Tracing

Photographs - use Embed mode instead
Complex gradients and shadows
Highly detailed artwork
Images with textures or patterns

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No, all processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.

Why is my traced SVG larger than the original PNG?

Complex images with many colors or details create many vector paths, resulting in larger files. Try reducing the number of colors, using a simpler preset, or switch to Embed mode for photographs.

What's the difference between Trace and Embed mode?

Trace mode creates true vector graphics by analyzing and recreating shapes as paths - ideal for logos and icons. Embed mode simply wraps the original image in SVG format using base64 encoding - better for photos where you need SVG format but want to preserve all details.

Why doesn't my traced SVG look exactly like the original?

Tracing converts pixels to mathematical paths, which involves simplification. For best results, use images with clear edges, solid colors, and minimal detail. Adjust the number of colors and other settings to improve results.

Can I trace photographs?

Technically yes, but results are usually not ideal. Photos have millions of colors and subtle gradients that don't convert well to vectors. For photos, use Embed mode or consider using the image as-is.
