Is this real vectorization?

No, it's tracing. It reads the flattened composite Photoshop saves inside the PSD and fits colored polygons to it. Clean shapes like logos, icons, and flat art trace well. Photos turn into a blobby approximation.

What kind of PSD works best?

Logos, badges, and flat illustrations with a few solid colors. Detailed or photographic PSDs produce hundreds of polygons and big, messy SVGs.

Why is the SVG so big?

Detailed images turn into hundreds of polygons. Want a smaller file? Start with a simpler PSD, or flatten it to fewer colors first.

PSD to SVG

Traces a Photoshop PSD into SVG vectors. Good on logos and flat art, not photos.

What this does

This reads the flattened composite Photoshop saves inside your PSD and traces it 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 raster re-wrapped. Because it's tracing and not true vectorization, logos and flat illustrations trace cleanly while photographic PSDs turn into a blobby approximation.
