Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PNG and SVG?
PNG is a raster (pixel-based) format best for photographs and complex images. SVG is a vector format defined by mathematical shapes, meaning it scales to any size without losing quality. SVG is ideal for logos, icons, and illustrations.
What is the difference between Embed and Color Trace mode?
Embed mode wraps your original image as a base64-encoded data URI inside an SVG container. The image looks identical but is now in SVG format. Color Trace mode analyzes the image and recreates it using colored rectangles, producing a simplified, stylized vector version.
How accurate is the Color Trace vectorization?
Color Trace uses a simplified pixel-based approach that works well for images with flat colors, logos, and simple graphics. For photographs or highly detailed images, the result will be a stylized, posterized version. For professional-grade tracing, dedicated vector software is recommended.
Will the SVG file be larger or smaller than the original PNG?
In Embed mode, the SVG will be roughly 33% larger because base64 encoding adds overhead. In Color Trace mode, file size depends on the detail level — low detail produces small files, while high detail with many colors can create larger files than the original.
Are my images kept private?
Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API and JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to any server. All processing happens locally on your device.
