How to use
- Choose or drop a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF image.
- Pick Colour or Black and white, and for colour how many colours to use.
- Adjust Detail and Remove specks smaller than until the SVG looks right.
- Click Download SVG, or Copy SVG code.
Options explained
- Colours
- Each colour becomes one layer of shapes. Logos usually need 2–8; more colours keep shading but make a bigger file.
- Detail
- Higher follows the original outline more closely; lower gives smoother, simpler curves and a smaller file.
- Remove specks smaller than
- Drops tiny shapes caused by noise or JPEG artefacts.
Settings for common images
| Image | Mode | Colours | Detail | Remove specks smaller than |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two-colour logo or icon | Colour | 2–4 | Default (60) | Default (8 px) |
| Logo with gradients or shading | Colour | 8–16 | 60–80 | 4–8 px |
| Scanned signature or handwriting | Black and white | — | 60–80 | 8–16 px, to drop paper texture |
| Line drawing or clip art | Black and white, or Colour with 4–8 | — | 70–90 | 4–8 px |
| Photo | Colour | 16–32 | 40–60 | 16 px or more — expect a poster-like result |
Images larger than 1000 px on the longest side are reduced to 1000 px before tracing, which keeps it fast; the SVG can then be scaled to any size without losing sharpness.
Why convert to SVG
Print and signage. An SVG logo prints sharply on a business card or a banner, because it is made of shapes rather than pixels.
Websites and apps. A small SVG icon stays crisp on high-resolution screens and can be recoloured with CSS.
Cutting machines. Cricut, Silhouette and laser cutters follow vector paths — a traced black-and-white design can be imported directly.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for photos?
It runs, but the result looks like a poster with flat colour areas. Vectorizing suits logos, icons, line art and text.
Why is the file large?
Many colours, high detail or a noisy image create thousands of shapes. Lower the colours or detail, or raise the speck size.
Is my image uploaded?
No. It is traced in your browser.
