Free PNG to SVG Vectorizer Online

Turn logos, icons, and sketches into infinitely scalable vector graphics.

1

Upload PNG

Select your PNG, JPG, or WEBP file. High contrast images work best.

2

Vectorize

Our engine traces the pixels and converts them into mathematical paths.

3

Download SVG

Get a clean, scalable vector file ready for editing or printing.

Why Vectorize?

Bitmaps (PNG) lose quality when zoomed in. Vectors (SVG) are made of math, so they stay crisp at any size—perfect for logos, t-shirt printing, and CNC cutting.

Professional Grade

True Vectorization

Powerful features to handle your design assets.

Infinite Resizing

Scale your image up to a billboard size without seeing a single pixel. Perfect for large format printing.

Editable Paths

The output isn't just an image; it's a set of editable paths. tweak nodes and curves in Adobe Illustrator.

Color & B/W Modes

Switch between full color tracing for logos or binary (B/W) mode for laser cutters and vinyl plotters.

Clean Layers

Our stacked path algorithm ensures there are no gaps between shapes, making the file cleaner to work with.

Engineering Philosophy

Pixels To
Geometry.

Converting a raster image (PNG) to a vector (SVG) isn't just about changing file extensions; it's about mathematical reconstruction. Our engine traces the paths, curves, and angles of your bitmap image to create mathematical formulas.

We use a multi-pass VTracer algorithm that first quantizes the image colors, then traces pixel edges, and finally smooths them into Bezier curves. This allows the output to be infinitely scaled without pixelation.

The challenge is balancing detail vs. file size. Our "Stacked Hierarchical" approach layers shapes on top of each other to ensure no gaps appear between colors, providing a clean, professional vector result.

Bezier Curve Engine

Infinite Scale

Resize from business card to billboard with zero quality loss.

Editable Paths

Full control over points and curves in Illustrator/Inkscape.

Smart Smoothing

Eliminates pixel jagglies automatically.

Understanding Vectorization

**Raster images** (like PNG, JPG) are made of pixels. They are like a mosaic; if you get too close, you see the individual tiles (squares). This limits how much you can enlarge them before they look blurry or blocky.

**Vector images** (SVG) are made of paths. They are like instructions: "draw a line from point A to point B, curve it like this." Because they are math-based, you can scale them to the size of a skyscraper, and the lines will remain perfectly smooth.

**Vectorization** (or auto-tracing) is the process of converting pixels into paths. Our tool analyzes the color boundaries in your PNG and draws the best-fitting curves to represent shapes, effectively recreating your image in math.

Quick Definitions

SVG

Scalable Vector Graphics. An XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics.

Path

The basic building block of a vector. It connects points with straight or curved lines.

Bezier Curve

A parametric curve used in computer graphics to produce smooth, continuous lines.

Tracing

The process of converting outlines in a raster image to vector paths.

Scaling

Changing the size of an image. Vectors scale without losing quality.

Nodes

The points that define the beginning and end of line segments in a vector path.

Frequently Asked Questions

Privacy-First Architecture

Your Data Never
Leaves Your Control.

Most converters trade your data for the service. We do the opposite. Our engine is designed on a "Volatile-Memory" principle—once your SVG is downloaded, the session is cryptographically purged.

2-Hour Auto-Delete

Files are automatically and permanently wiped from our secure servers after 2 hours.

End-to-End Encryption

Using TLS 1.3 and military-grade SSL encryption, your files are protected from the moment they leave your device.
