About Image to SVG
Vector graphics scale without pixelation — perfect for logos, icons and illustrations. Image to SVG converts raster images (JPG, PNG, WebP) into clean SVG paths so they look sharp at any size.
Our auto mode inspects each image and picks the right strategy: true vector tracing for logos and line art, lossless pixel embedding for photos. Two-pass colour quantisation removes the halos and crusty edges other converters leave behind, so the output is genuinely usable at production quality.

Image to SVG — frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know.
When should I use vector vs embed mode?
Vector for solid-colour logos, icons and illustrations — you get true scalable SVG paths. Embed for photos and complex images — the SVG wraps a pixel-perfect copy of the original. Auto picks the right one based on image content.
Will the corners be clean?
Yes. We use two-pass colour quantisation to remove anti-aliasing halos before tracing, so corners come out crisp. This is the difference between a usable SVG and a noisy one.
How big are the output SVGs?
Vector mode outputs are typically 5-50x smaller than the source raster. Embed mode is roughly the same size as the source plus a small SVG wrapper.
Can I convert a transparent PNG?
Yes. Use the Advanced background colour to flatten transparent pixels onto a colour before tracing — usually white for clean output.
Why does my image come out with banding?
Try a higher colour palette (32 or 64) or switch to embed mode for photos. Vector tracing inherently quantises to a fixed palette.
