PNG to SVG traces raster images into scalable vector paths, converting PNG, JPG or WebP into editable SVG. Adjust color count and detail, compare raster and vector side by side, then copy or download the result. It works best on flat logos and icons, runs free in the browser, and uploads nothing.
The GigAI PNG to SVG converter turns a raster image into scalable vector paths using imagetracerjs, a color-quantizing edge tracer that runs entirely on your device. Drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or BMP and it reads the pixels onto a canvas, quantizes them to a palette you control, and outlines each color region as an SVG <path>, the result renders live beside the original so you can judge fidelity before you keep it. Real controls steer the trace: a mode preset (Flat, Poster, Photo or Sketch) sets the baseline, a color count slider decides how many shades survive, and the workspace reports the path count and file size so you always know what you're shipping. This is the honest kind of tracer: on flat art (brand marks, monochrome icons, pixel sprites, simple illustrations) it produces small, clean, infinitely scalable SVGs that beat any upscaled PNG. On photographs it will faithfully emit thousands of paths and a large file, because it is a deterministic tracer and not an AI that redraws your image. When the shape matters more than the pixels, it's the fastest path from a flattened export to a resolution-independent vector you can drop into a component, restyle with CSS, or feed into the SVG Optimizer. Because every step happens in your browser, your artwork (unreleased logos, client assets, private icons) is never uploaded, stored or logged.

Drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or BMP onto the drop zone, click to browse, or paste an image from your clipboard. It loads instantly and stays on your device.
Choose Flat, Poster, Photo or Sketch, then dial the color count. Flat with a low color count is the sweet spot for logos and icons. Raise colors only when you need to capture shading.
The raster and the traced SVG sit side by side. Zoom in to confirm edges held and colors read correctly, and adjust the controls until the vector looks right.
Copy the markup or download a .svg file. For the leanest result, run it through the SVG Optimizer afterward to merge points and trim precision.
imagetracerjs quantizes your image to a palette and outlines each color region as an SVG <path>. It runs on-device with the browser's canvas. No server, no upload, no queue.
Flat for logos and icons, Poster for a bold reduced look, Photo for maximum color fidelity, Sketch for fine detail. Each preset tunes the tracer's color count, thresholds and path culling for you.
Slide from a crisp 2-color trace up to 64 shades. Fewer colors means fewer, cleaner paths and a smaller file. More colors captures gradients and shading at the cost of size.
Your original image sits next to the traced SVG on a checkerboard so you can judge fidelity at a glance, zoom in to confirm an edge held, or spot where a soft gradient turned blocky.
Live badges report how many paths the trace produced and the resulting SVG size, so you know instantly whether you got a lean logo or a heavy photo trace before you download.
Copy the SVG markup to your clipboard or download it as a .svg file. Send the result straight to the SVG Optimizer to squeeze it further, or paste it into SVG to React.
When the source vector is lost and all you have is a flattened logo or icon PNG, tracing recovers a scalable, restyleable SVG, sharp at any size instead of blurry when you scale it up.
A traced logo mark stays crisp on retina screens, print and favicons alike, and can be recolored with CSS. One vector replaces a folder of @1x/@2x/@3x PNG exports.
The path count and size readout plus the side-by-side preview mean no surprises. You see whether the trace is a clean 12-path logo or a 4,000-path photo before it ever leaves the tool.
Tracing runs locally in your browser. Unreleased brand marks, client artwork and internal icons never leave your machine. Nothing is uploaded, stored or logged.
From quick one-off fixes to daily workflows, see how people put this tool to use.
A client sends a logo as a PNG and the original vector is gone. Trace it in Flat mode with a low color count to get clean, scalable paths you can refine and reuse across print and web.
Vectorize a small monochrome icon, then send it to SVG to React or SVG to Data URI so it lives inline in your components and inherits currentColor instead of loading a bitmap.
Trace flat pixel art or sprite sheets so they scale to any resolution without the fuzz of a bitmap upscale, keeping hard edges where they belong.
Convert a simple bitmap into vector outlines suitable as a starting point for laser cutters, vinyl plotters or CNC toolpaths, then clean the paths in a vector editor.
Accepts PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and BMP, and produces SVG, all processed locally in your browser.
Convert EPS and Illustrator AI files to high-resolution PNG in your browser. Pick the scale, keep transparency, and download instantly. Nothing is uploaded.
Minify and clean SVG files in your browser with SVGO, strip editor metadata, round coordinates, drop hidden layers and see the exact bytes and percentage saved. Nothing is uploaded.
Convert SVG to a clean React component in your browser, camelCased attributes, TypeScript or JS, memo, forwardRef and React Native output, with a live preview. Nothing is uploaded.
Open, paste or drop an SVG to view it on a checkerboard, light or dark canvas with zoom, live dimensions, a source-code pane and a full element/color report: 100% in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Shrink JPG, PNG and WebP images without a visible quality drop. Set the quality yourself, or compress to an exact target size like 100 KB. Free, entirely in your browser.
Convert SVG to PNG in your browser at any resolution. Pick a 1×–8× scale or exact pixel size, keep transparency or set a background color, preview live and download. Nothing is uploaded.

Hit a snag? Here are quick fixes for the issues people run into most.
That's the signature of tracing a photograph or a heavily-shaded image, every color region becomes a path. Lower the color count, switch to Flat or Poster mode, and run the output through the SVG Optimizer. For photos, a raster format is usually the right call.
Trace quality follows the source. Use the largest, sharpest version of the image you have, and pick a color count that matches the art, too few muddies gradients, too many fragments flat regions into noise.
The input must be a raster image the browser can decode (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or BMP). SVGs and PDFs aren't raster inputs. Very large images can exhaust memory while tracing, downscale first if the tab stalls.
The tracer culls tiny regions to keep the path count sane. Try Sketch mode or a higher color count to preserve detail, or trace a larger source so small features occupy more pixels.
Flat mode with 2–8 colors is the sweet spot for logos, icons and monochrome art. It yields the fewest, cleanest paths and the smallest file.
Start the image as large and sharp as you can. Tracing a tiny or blurry PNG bakes its jaggies into the paths. A crisp source traces cleaner.
Photos are honest but heavy, expect thousands of paths and a big file. If you must trace one, lower the color count and accept a posterized look.
After tracing, run the SVG through the SVG Optimizer to merge points, round coordinates and drop the file size further.
If edges look ragged, try Poster (bolder regions) or drop the color count. If fine detail is lost, try Sketch or raise colors slightly.
Recent updates and improvements to the png to svg.
Initial release, in-browser PNG/JPG/WebP tracing to SVG with Flat/Poster/Photo/Sketch modes, adjustable color count, side-by-side raster/vector preview, path-count and size readout, and copy/download.
Added paste-to-import, sample images for a one-click first result, and a clearer honest-limits note distinguishing flat-art tracing from photo tracing.
Improved large-image handling and error messages, and surfaced a quick hand-off to the SVG Optimizer for shrinking the traced output.
Every step (decoding your image, quantizing its colors and tracing the paths) runs entirely in your browser using its native canvas. Your image is never uploaded to any server. Nothing is stored, logged or transmitted, so you can safely vectorize unreleased logos, client artwork or internal icons. Close the tab and every trace is gone.
Free, private and instant. PNG to SVG runs right in your browser.
