Image to SVG
ImageTrace a logo or icon into real vector paths — clean shared edges, no seams, never uploaded.
Image to SVG traces a raster picture into real vector shapes — actual paths you can scale to a billboard, recolour, or open in Illustrator, Figma or Inkscape. It suits flat artwork: logos, icons, screenshots, line art, stickers. Most tracers outline each colour separately and stack the results, which leaves hairline gaps where two shapes were meant to meet. This one works out the whole boundary first and gives both neighbours the same edge, so the shapes meet exactly however far you zoom in. Everything happens on your device.

How to use Image to SVG
- 1Drop in a logo or icon
PNG, JPG or WebP. Flat artwork traces best — photographs make huge files that look worse than the original, and the tool will say so if it spots one.
- 2Set the colours and detail
Fewer colours means fewer, cleaner shapes. Sharp keeps corners crisp for icons; Smooth suits scanned line art. Pixel-exact keeps every step, for pixel art.
- 3Zoom in, then download
Push the preview to 8x and look where two colours meet — no white line, no doubled edge. Then save real paths, ready for Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape or a web page.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The tracing runs in your browser, on your machine, in a background thread. The image never leaves the device and there is no server to send it to.
Why do other tracers leave white lines between shapes?
Because they outline each colour region on its own and then stack the results. Two neighbouring shapes end up with two slightly different versions of the border they share, and the mismatch shows as a hairline gap or a doubled edge — worse the further you zoom. This tool works out the whole boundary once and hands both neighbours the identical edge, so there is nothing to mismatch.
Can I vectorise a photograph?
You can, but you should not want to. A photo has no flat regions to trace, so you get thousands of shapes, an enormous file, and a result that looks worse than the photo. The tool warns you when an image looks photographic. For a poster effect, drop the colour count right down.
What can I open the SVG in?
Anything. It is a plain SVG with ordinary paths — Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape, Affinity, or straight into a web page. There is no width or height on it, so it scales to whatever box you put it in.
Why does my logo come out with a transparent background?
"Drop the background" is on by default: when one colour surrounds the artwork, it is left out so you get the logo on transparency. Turn it off to keep it as a filled shape.
Does it handle transparent PNGs?
Yes, and it treats transparency as a proper edge rather than as white, so a logo keeps clean outlines. Semi-transparent pixels are un-premultiplied first, which is what stops the dark halo you sometimes see from other tracers.
