Is this a real WEBP-to-vector conversion?

No. It is tracing. The tool fits colored polygons to the decoded WEBP pixels. Hard-edged shapes such as logos and icons trace well; a photographic WEBP becomes a rough, blobby approximation.

Does it handle lossy and lossless WEBP?

Both. The tool works on the pixels after the WEBP is decoded, so it does not matter whether the source was lossy or lossless — though lossy WEBP can carry compression speckles that the trace will faithfully reproduce as extra paths.

Why did my traced SVG come out larger than the WEBP?

A detailed image traces into hundreds of polygon paths, and every path stores its own coordinates. WEBP compresses pixels tightly, so a busy trace can outweigh the original file. Reduce the colors or simplify the image first for a smaller SVG.

Will the SVG scale without blurring?

The vector paths scale to any size cleanly. But the shapes are only as faithful as the trace, so enlarging an SVG reveals the polygon edges rather than detail the trace never captured.

What happens to transparency in the WEBP?

Transparent and semi-transparent pixels stay transparent in the SVG, so a logo saved on a clear WEBP background keeps that background clear.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Decoding and tracing both run in your browser; nothing is sent to a server. There is no sign-up and no watermark on the output.

WEBP to SVG

Traces your WEBP into vector shapes and saves an SVG.

What this does

This decodes the pixels in your WEBP and traces them into an SVG. The tool walks the decoded bitmap, groups neighbouring pixels of similar color into regions, and outlines each region with a vector path. What you get back is a new file built from colored shapes, not the WEBP bytes re-wrapped inside an SVG container.

Tracing is an approximation, not a true conversion to vectors. WEBP made from flat-color art — logos, icons, badges, line work — traces cleanly and then scales to any size without softening. WEBP saved from a photo or a gradient breaks into a mosaic of polygons that only loosely follows the original. Both lossy and lossless WEBP are accepted, and any transparency in the WEBP is carried through as transparent areas in the SVG.
