    PNG is a pixel format: zoom in and it gets blurry and blocky. SVG, by contrast, is a vector - it stays razor-sharp at any size, from a business-card logo to a trade-show banner. This tool retraces the shapes in your image as vector paths.

    Pick colour, grayscale or black & white, the number of colours, the detail level and how aggressively small specks are removed. For a logo with flat areas, few colours plus despeckle gives the cleanest result; more detail preserves fine edges.

    Everything happens locally in the browser, nothing is uploaded. Honestly: tracing suits logos, icons and flat graphics - photos produce huge, messy SVGs and are better left as a raster image.

    Vectorizing is considered a specialist job, and accordingly many online vectorizers work server-side: the logo gets uploaded, the free tier caps conversions or delivers preview quality only. Here your browser computes the tracing itself - free, without an account, without a cap on conversions, and your draft stays on your device. The result is a real, editable SVG with paths you can keep refining in Inkscape, Illustrator or Figma.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop a PNG, JPG or WebP.
    2. Choose mode, colours, detail and despeckle.
    3. Download the SVG.

    Limitations: Tracing suits logos, icons and flat graphics, not photos (those get huge and messy). The SVG is a re-creation of the shapes, not the recovery of an "original" vector. Very large images are capped at 2000 px before tracing (the computational cost of tracing grows with the pixel count - width times height - which increases quadratically as edge length grows).

    FAQ

    Are my images uploaded?

    No, vectorising happens entirely locally in the browser - even offline.

    Does it work with photos?

    Only poorly: photos produce very large, messy SVGs. The tool is meant for logos, icons and flat graphics.

    Why do the edges look slightly different?

    Tracing re-draws shapes with vector paths; the detail and despeckle settings control how precise and smooth that is.

    How do I get a raster image back?

    Use the "SVG to PNG" tool.

    Which settings for a clean logo?

    Few colours (or black & white) plus "light/strong" despeckle gives clean flat areas.

    Is vectorizing free, and is there a limit?

    Yes, free and with no cap on conversions - no account, no watermark, no preview-only restriction. Your browser does the work.

    Can I edit the SVG in Inkscape or Illustrator afterwards?

    Yes. The result is a normal SVG with real paths - it opens and keeps editing in Inkscape, Illustrator, Figma or any other vector editor.
