How to Convert PNG to SVG

  1. Click Select Image or drag and drop a PNG, JPG, or WebP file into the workspace above.
  2. Choose a conversion mode. Embed wraps your image losslessly inside an SVG container. Color Trace creates simplified vector shapes from the dominant colors.
  3. Adjust options. Set custom dimensions for Embed mode, or tune the color count and detail level for Color Trace.
  4. Click Generate SVG File to process the vector file.
  5. Preview the result, then download the .svg file or copy the raw SVG code for your project.

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 highly optimized for logos, icons, and UI 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 actually analyzes the image and recreates it using colored vector shapes, producing a simplified, stylized 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 highly detailed photographs, the result will look like a stylized, posterized painting.

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 heavily on the detail level — low detail produces very small files, while high detail with many colors can create larger files than the original.

Are my images kept private during conversion?

Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API and JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to our servers. All processing happens locally and privately on your device.
