How to convert an image to SVG
- Choose a PNG or JPG. Use a sharp source with clear edges.
- Select Color logo / illustration, Black and white line art, or Photo (stylized).
- Click Trace image, then compare the prepared original with the SVG.
- Download SVG. Change the preset and trace again if you need another result.
What tracing can and cannot do
SVG paths stay crisp when scaled, but tracing cannot reconstruct a lost original design. Small lettering, gradients, shadows and JPEG noise may lose detail or become extra shapes. A traced photograph can be larger than the original JPG. For production logos, inspect the paths and refine them in a vector editor.
This version uses VTracer 1.0.0-alpha.4. Treat its output as a starting point and review it before publishing or printing. Transparent areas are deliberately flattened onto white.

Frequently asked questions
Does this create real vector paths?
Yes. VTracer traces the raster into colored SVG paths rather than embedding the original image. The result is an approximation: text becomes shapes, not editable text, and missing detail cannot be recovered.
Which images work best?
Start with a sharp logo, icon or high-contrast line drawing. Photos and gradients become stylized shapes and can create large SVG files. Compare the result at its intended display size.
What happens to transparency?
This tool flattens transparent and translucent pixels onto white before tracing. It does not preserve transparency or remove backgrounds.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Image decoding and VTracer processing run on your device. The engine downloads from FixTools when you trace. With analytics consent, tool action events are recorded without filenames or image contents.
What are the limits?
Use PNG or JPG files up to 10 MB and 16 megapixels, with no side above 16,000 pixels. The tool scales the tracing input to a maximum of 1024 pixels on the longest side. A trace stops after 30 seconds.
