Convert a PNG logo or icon to a real SVG made of shapes, not a PNG wrapped in SVG
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Checked against sources on 22 Oct 2026.Many converters put the PNG inside an SVG file unchanged, which still blurs when enlarged. This page traces the picture into real shapes, one colour each, so the logo stays sharp at any size and can be edited in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma. Transparent areas stay transparent. Pick 2 colours for a black and white mark or more for a full-colour logo. Nothing is uploaded.

A PNG or JPG is a grid of pixels; an SVG is a set of shapes. Tracing finds the areas of each colour and draws their outlines as curves, so the result stays sharp at any size and can be recoloured or cut by a plotter.
| Setting | What it changes | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Colours | How many flat colours the picture is reduced to | 2 for a black mark, 4 to 8 for a logo |
| Detail | How closely outlines follow the pixels, and the smallest shape kept | Medium; Low for simple, clean shapes |
| Smoothing | A blur before tracing that melts JPEG noise and jagged edges | 1; 2 to 3 for a scan or a photo of a drawing |
What traces well. Logos, icons, signatures, stamps, line drawings, clip art and screenshots of flat graphics. A photograph has thousands of shades; traced, it becomes a poster-like picture of flat colour and a heavy file, and the page warns when an SVG is over 2 MB or 5,000 shapes.
The rest of the article, and all 6 questions about Image to SVG, are on the Image to SVG page.
Drop the picture on the page and a traced SVG preview appears beside the original. Choose the number of colours, the detail and the smoothing until the shapes look right, then press Download. The full-size SVG is traced in your browser with the same settings and saved to your device.
A real vector. Every area of colour becomes a path with its own fill, so the file scales to any size without blur, colours can be changed one by one, and cutting machines can follow the outlines. Some converters only wrap the original pixels in an SVG file, which still blurs when enlarged.
Tracing reduces the picture to flat areas of colour, and a photograph has thousands of shades, so the SVG looks like a screen print. That is how vectorising works everywhere. For photos keep the PNG or JPG; tracing suits logos, icons, drawings and other flat artwork.
No. The picture is decoded and traced by your own browser, in a background worker so the page stays responsive, and the SVG is made on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, and nothing remains once you close the tab.
Rates and rules change; check the source before you rely on a figure.
