Image to Vector Converter
Trace any image into a clean SVG — logos, sketches, line art, pattern motifs. Editable in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape, and every plotter / embroidery tool.
How to convert a raster image to a vector — explained
A vector image is made of mathematical paths and shapes, not pixels. It scales to any size — 16 pixels or 16 feet — without losing sharpness. Every logo on every billboard, every icon on every website, every cut-file on every vinyl plotter is a vector file.
Converting a raster image (PNG, JPG) to a vector (SVG) is called vectorization or image tracing. Our browser engine examines your image, quantizes it to a set number of colours, and traces clean paths around each distinct region. You get an SVG you can open in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape, or any vector editor.
Works beautifully on: logos that need to scale to print size, hand-drawn sketches destined for embroidery files, simple illustrations, black-and-white line art, and repeating motif libraries. Less beautifully on photographic content — there, the classical engine produces thousands of tiny paths and loses the photographic quality.
Who uses this? Designers prepping logos for print and signage, embroiderers cutting plotter files, screen printers building colour separations, surface-pattern designers building motif libraries, and anyone who's been sent a low-res bitmap logo and needs a proper scalable version.
Four steps, no signup
Upload your raster image
Drop any JPG, PNG, or WEBP up to 10MB — a logo, sketch, illustration, line art, or pattern motif. Works best on images with distinct colours and clean edges.
Tune colour count and smoothness
Pick 2–32 colours (2 for black-and-white, 16 for illustrations, 32 for complex artwork). Adjust smoothness to taste — live preview updates instantly.
Vectorize in your browser
ImageTracer converts the raster pixels into clean SVG paths locally. Zero server upload, zero watermark, zero daily limit on the basic engine.
Download as SVG
Export a lossless SVG ready for Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape, embroidery software, or vinyl plotters. Full commercial rights — you own the output.
