About this tool
Vectorising an image turns its pixels into shapes of colour that scale without losing sharpness. It is what you need when all you have is a small PNG logo and you want it on a banner, when you are cutting a design on a plotter or laser, when you want to edit an illustration in Illustrator or Inkscape, or when you want to give a photo a flat, poster-like look.
Drop the image, click to choose it or paste it with Ctrl+V; tracing starts automatically and the SVG appears in the preview. Try the presets (Light poster, Curvy, Sharp, Greyscale, Fixed palette and more) or set Colours (2 to 64), Paths, Curves, Threshold, Stroke width and Scale yourself; Advanced adds a blur pre-pass, colour sampling and coordinate rounding. Press Retrace to apply your changes, then Download, Copy or Optimise.
The image is processed in your browser with the imagetracerjs library, which is loaded from this same site; your file is not uploaded to any server. It accepts PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF (first frame only). It works best on logos, icons and flat-colour illustrations; photos produce very heavy files. Very large images can take a while, so scale them down first if needed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a PNG logo to SVG?
Load it here, lower Colours to the number of inks in the logo (for example 2 or 3) and raise Threshold slightly to remove specks. Then download the SVG and press Optimise if you want a lighter file.
Why is the SVG bigger than the original image?
Because every patch of colour becomes a path with many points. Reduce the number of colours, raise Threshold, lower Coordinate rounding or use Optimise to slim it down.
Can I vectorise a photo?
You can, but the result will be a posterised version, closer to a poster or screen print than a faithful copy. The poster and artistic presets are designed for exactly that effect.
Is the resulting SVG editable?
Yes. Each colour area is a separate path you can select, recolour or delete in Inkscape, Illustrator, Figma or any vector editor.
