About Vectorization
Vectorization recreates SVG paths from image pixels. It does not guarantee perfect reproduction of the original. Photos, hair details, complex gradients, and highly detailed images are generally not suitable for clean SVG conversion. Best results come from logos, icons, signatures, stamps, line art, and simple illustrations.

What is Image Vectorization?
Image vectorization converts raster images (pixels) into vector graphics (mathematical paths). Unlike raster images that blur when scaled, vectors resize to any dimension without quality loss, making SVG ideal for logos, icons, and multi-size graphics.
PNG/JPG vs SVG
PNG and JPG store images as pixel grids with fixed dimensions. SVG stores mathematical descriptions of shapes, making it resolution-independent, editable with code, and typically smaller for simple graphics.
True Vectorization vs Bitmap Embedding
True vectorization generates actual SVG path elements (<path>, <polygon>, <circle>) by tracing image contours. Some tools embed the original image as Base64 inside an SVG wrapper — that is NOT vectorization. Our tool creates real vector paths.
Which Images Work Best?
Best candidates have clear edges, solid colors, and simple shapes: logos, icons, signatures, stamps, line art, QR codes, paper cut patterns, simple cartoons, and web icons. Photos with many colors or gradients produce large, complex SVGs.
Why Don't Photos Convert Well?
Photos contain millions of subtle color variations and fine details. Converting these to vectors requires thousands of path nodes, creating huge SVG files. Photos also lack the clear edges that vectorization algorithms need. Use our Image Compressor for photos instead.
How to Improve Logo Vectorization
1) Start with high-resolution source (512×512+). 2) Use images with clear edges and solid colors. 3) Remove complex backgrounds first. 4) Choose B&W for monochrome, Color for multi-color. 5) Adjust threshold and smoothing. 6) Use Fine quality for production.
B&W Mode vs Color Mode
B&W mode creates a single-color silhouette, perfect for signatures, stamps, and monochrome logos. Color mode preserves multiple colors by quantizing into 2-32 colors with separate path layers for each region.
How to Reduce SVG File Size
1) Use fewer colors (4-8 vs 16-32). 2) Increase path simplification. 3) Use Fast quality for previews. 4) Higher despeckle removes details. 5) Use B&W when color isn't needed. 6) Enable SVG compression. Note: smaller files may lose detail.
Can SVG Scale Infinitely?
Yes! SVG describes shapes mathematically, not as pixels. You can scale from favicon size (16×16) to billboard size (10×10m) without quality loss. This is why SVG is preferred for logos and icons across devices.
Will My Image Be Uploaded?
No. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript and Web Workers. Your image never leaves your device — not uploaded, not stored, not sent to any third party. Closing the page clears all data.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SVG file?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector format. Unlike PNG/JPG which store pixels, SVG stores mathematical shape descriptions, making it infinitely scalable.
Can I convert any image to SVG?
Any image can be processed, but results vary. Simple graphics with clear edges (logos, icons, signatures) convert well. Complex photos produce large, impractical SVGs.
Is the output a real vector file?
Yes. Our tool generates actual SVG path elements by tracing contours. No embedded bitmaps or Base64 images.
B&W vs Color mode?
B&W creates a single-color silhouette for signatures and monochrome logos. Color mode preserves multiple colors with separate path layers.
Why is my SVG so large?
Complex images need more path nodes. Try fewer colors, more path simplification, or B&W mode.
Is my image uploaded?
No. All processing is in your browser. Images never leave your device.
