How to use PNG to SVG Converter
- Choose a PNG image, ideally a logo or flat illustration.
- Pick Detail: Logo, Illustration or Photo.
- Adjust Number of colors: fewer colors give cleaner, smaller SVGs.
- Press "Convert to SVG" and compare the original with the vector result.
- Press "Download SVG".
Worked example
A 512 x 512 PNG logo with a red square and a blue circle on white, traced with the Logo preset and 4 colors, becomes an SVG of a few kilobytes with three clean filled shapes that stay sharp at any size.
When to use this tool
- Turning a logo PNG into a scalable SVG for a website or print.
- Preparing simple artwork for vinyl cutting or laser engraving.
Important limitations
Tracing approximates the image with a limited number of colors; photos produce large, posterized SVGs.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real vector file?
Yes. The image is traced into filled vector paths with ImageTracer, so the SVG scales without pixelation. It is an approximation of the image, not an exact copy of every pixel.
Which images convert best?
Logos, icons, clip art and screenshots with flat colors trace cleanly. Photos turn into many small color areas, a posterized look, and a large SVG file.
How many colors should I choose?
Match the colors in the artwork: 2 to 4 for a simple logo, around 16 for an illustration. More colors capture more detail but make the file larger.
Why was my large image scaled down?
Tracing is slow on very large images, so images are limited to 1200 pixels on the longest side (800 for the Photo preset) before tracing. The SVG itself is resolution-independent.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The tracer library is downloaded once from jsDelivr and runs in your browser.
