What decides how an SVG turns out is what the picture shows, not whether it arrived as a PNG or a JPG. These are real results from this converter, each traced with the starting settings for its type.
Settings: Logo & Icon
A few flat colours and hard edges map almost one to one onto vector shapes. The Logo & Icon settings merge near-identical colours and drop specks smaller than 8 pixels, so the SVG stays small and easy to edit.
Look at the small tagline: thin letters below the speck limit can drop out. Lower Filter speckle or upload a larger copy when small text matters.
Settings: Photo
A photo has no flat areas, so it is rebuilt from thousands of small colour patches. The Photo settings keep every colour step, which gives a painterly copy of the picture rather than a sharp photograph.
This 480 px crop became a 3.5 MB SVG with more than 9,000 shapes, far larger than the image itself. Trace only the subject when you can.
Settings: Illustration
Flat artwork with a few soft gradients sits between a logo and a photo. The Illustration settings keep gradients as a handful of colour bands and smooth curves, so shapes stay editable.
Smooth gradients turn into visible steps. Lower Gradient step for finer bands, at the cost of more shapes.
Settings: Sharp / Geometric
Interface screenshots, charts and diagrams are made of straight edges and boxes. The Sharp / Geometric settings trace with straight segments instead of curves, so bars and buttons keep their corners.
Small interface text is the weak spot: letters a few pixels tall break apart. Zoom in before taking the screenshot, or retype the text in a vector editor.
Upload, adjust, download. No account needed.
Drop an image up to 10 MB or click to choose one. A preview appears in a few seconds.
Start from a preset such as Logo & Icon, Photo or Black & White, then fine-tune detail, colours and corners while the preview updates.
When the preview looks right, download the SVG. The file is yours to use, with no watermark.
A raster image is a grid of coloured pixels. To make an SVG, the converter groups neighbouring pixels of similar colour into regions and describes the outline of each region as a path. The fewer distinct colours an image has, the fewer regions there are, and the cleaner and lighter the SVG.
A logo might have three or four colours, so it becomes a few dozen paths that you can recolour and scale without limits. A photo changes colour from one pixel to the next: shading, texture and soft focus all turn into separate regions. That is why a photo SVG holds thousands of shapes and can be many times larger than the original file, while a logo SVG is often smaller.
Edges matter as well. A sharp, high-contrast edge gives the tracer a clear outline to follow. Blur, compression noise and shadows create in-between colours along the edge, which show up as thin slivers or extra shapes.
The Detail, Colors and Corners sliders cover most adjustments. Open Advanced after upload to set the exact values below; the preview updates as you go.
Removes patches smaller than the given size in pixels. Raise it to clean up noise and dust; lower it when small text or fine details disappear.
How many shades of each colour channel are told apart. Lower values merge similar colours into one, higher values keep subtle tones and add shapes.
How different two colours must be to become separate layers. A small step gives smooth gradients with many bands, a large step gives flat, poster-like colour.
The angle below which a bend is kept as a sharp corner. Lower it to keep corners crisp, raise it for rounder, smoother outlines.
The length of the pieces each curve is built from. Shorter segments follow the outline more closely, longer ones give simpler paths.
Decimal places written into the path data. Two or three are plenty on screen; fewer decimals make the file smaller.
For signatures, stamps and line art in one colour, the Black & White preset traces a single colour and gives the simplest result, ready for cutting machines and laser engravers.
This page takes PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP and TIFF files up to 10 MB, so you never need to check the extension first. Each format also has its own page with advice on its quirks.
Screenshots and exports from Canva or Figma, often with a transparent background. See the PNG to SVG converter for transparency and colour depth.
Photos, scans and logos sent by email or chat, usually with compression noise. See the JPG to SVG converter for cleaning it up.
Images saved from websites, which often serve WebP in place of PNG or JPG. See the WebP to SVG converter.
Older web graphics and animations; only the first frame is traced. See the GIF to SVG converter.
Large uncompressed files from Paint and older Windows tools. See the BMP to SVG converter.
Scans and print files, including multi-page and CMYK TIFFs. See the TIFF to SVG converter.
Wondering whether a graphic should stay a JPG at all? SVG vs JPG compares quality, file size and typical uses.
PNG, JPG and JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP and TIFF, up to 10 MB per file. The format is detected automatically, so any of them can be dropped into the same box.
Yes. The image is traced into paths with fill colours, not wrapped in an SVG as an embedded picture, so it scales to any size and each shape can be edited or recoloured.
Yes, with the Photo settings, but expect a painterly look and a large file with thousands of shapes. Photos keep their detail better as JPG or WebP; SVG suits logos, icons, drawings and other flat artwork.
Every colour region becomes its own path. Photos, gradients and noisy scans produce many regions. Crop to the subject, remove the background, or raise Filter speckle and lower Color precision to cut the number of shapes.
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number of images you convert in the browser.
Yes. Recolour or hide colours in the editor before downloading, or open the file in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma or Cricut Design Space to change paths and text.
