PNG to SVG converter.

Two shapes that touch are given the same curve for the edge between them, so they cannot drift apart when the drawing is smoothed. No seams, no gaps, no double-drawn edges — at any zoom, forever.

Sharp turns are found before any smoothing happens and are never curved through. A logo's right angles come out as right angles instead of quietly becoming radiused, which is the one mistake you cannot undo afterwards.

The tracer is a few hundred lines of maths that run in your tab. Your picture is not sent to a server, not queued, not held. It also means there is no upload wait — a large image converts as fast as your own machine can do it.

Logos, illustrations, flags, icons, comics, scanned drawings: these are made of shapes already, so tracing them is a translation rather than a guess. Airbrushed gradients have to become bands, and you will see the bands.

JPEG scatters ringing around every hard edge and blocks across flat areas. That noise is real to a tracer, and it becomes thousands of tiny shapes. If you have the PNG, use the PNG — and if you only have a JPEG, nudge the detail slider towards simpler.

Around 1000–1600 pixels on the long edge is the sweet spot. Past that a tracer starts resolving compression noise rather than artwork: the file grows, the shape count climbs, and the picture does not actually improve.

Cricut, Silhouette, vinyl and laser cutters all want closed vector paths. The Line art and Logo presets give them exactly that — clean, filled, and few enough that the machine is not still cutting tomorrow.

A logo you only have as a small PNG is a problem the moment somebody asks for it on a banner. Traced to vector, the same mark goes on a business card and on the side of a building.

An SVG icon is crisp on every screen, takes a colour from CSS, and often weighs less than the PNG it replaces. The output here is plain paths and plain fills, so restyling it is a one-line change.

Previewing is unlimited and needs no account, so you can see the result before deciding anything. The file itself comes with a free account: ten a month, re-traced at full resolution so it carries finer detail than the preview, kept with your designs and yours to use commercially. Pro removes the limit.

No. The tracing runs in your browser, on your machine — the picture is never sent to a server. Nothing leaves the tab unless you choose to keep a finished file, and then only the SVG is stored, never the original image.

You can, and it will be a stylised version rather than a copy. A photograph has no true vector form: every soft gradient has to become a flat shape with an edge. The Photo preset makes the best of it, but flat artwork — logos, illustrations, line drawings — is what vector tracing is actually for.

Because the picture had more shapes in it than a vector file can carry cheaply — usually a photograph, or a JPEG whose compression noise is being traced as real detail. Move the detail slider towards simpler, or choose a flatter preset. The tool shows the size next to the result so you can see the trade as you make it.

Yes. Transparent areas in the PNG stay transparent in the SVG — they simply become regions with no shape covering them, which is what transparency means in a vector file. A logo on a transparent background comes back on a transparent background.

No. Most colour tracers follow each colour separately and stack the results, so neighbouring shapes disagree about the border between them and you get hairline seams that shift when you zoom. This one traces each border once and gives the same curve to both shapes either side, so they cannot disagree.

Yes. The output is ordinary SVG paths with plain fills — no embedded bitmap, no filters, no clipping tricks — so Illustrator, Affinity, Inkscape, Figma and every cutting-machine program will open it and let you move points around.

Yes — that is what the Line art and Logo presets are for. They produce closed, filled paths with clean corners, which is what cutting software needs. Keep the shape count low: a cutter follows every path you give it.

Yes. Files you convert from artwork you own the rights to are yours to use, print and sell. Converting somebody else's picture does not give you rights to it.
