Is this real vectorization?

No, it's tracing. The tool fits colored polygons to the raster image. Clean shapes like logos, icons, and silhouettes trace well. Photos turn into a blobby approximation.

Why is the SVG so big?

Detailed images produce hundreds of polygon paths, and each path adds coordinates to the file. A traced photo can end up larger than the PNG. Start with a simpler input or cut it down to fewer colors first for a smaller result.

Does the SVG scale without losing quality?

The vector paths scale to any size with no blurring. But the shapes are only as accurate as the trace, so an enlarged trace shows the polygon edges, not extra detail that wasn't there.

What happens to transparency?

Transparent and semi-transparent pixels are kept as transparent regions in the SVG, so a logo on a clear background stays clear.

Can I convert several PNGs at once?

Yes. Drop a batch and each one is traced separately. Download them individually or grab them all as a single zip. There's no fixed limit beyond your device's memory.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The tracing runs in your browser and nothing leaves your device. There's no sign-up and no watermark on the output.

Does it work with JPG or other formats?

This tool takes PNG. Any image with hard-edged, flat-color shapes traces best; photographic input of any format would trace poorly regardless.

PNG to SVG

Traces a PNG into SVG vectors. Best on logos and silhouettes, not photos.

What this does

This reads the pixels in your PNG and traces them into an SVG: regions of similar color are grouped and outlined with vector paths. The result is a new file made of colored shapes, not the original pixels embedded in an SVG wrapper.

Because it's tracing, not true vectorization, the output approximates the source. Flat-color art like logos, icons, and silhouettes traces cleanly and scales to any size without blurring. Photos and gradients turn into clusters of polygons that only roughly match the original. Transparency in the PNG is preserved as transparent regions in the SVG.
