PNG to SVG
Upload a PNG and download an SVG made of paths. The box below is the converter: no account is required to try it.
How to convert PNG to SVG
The tracer turns pixels into shapes. A flat PNG with clear edges gives it something useful to follow.
1. Add the PNG
Drop the file, choose it, or paste it. PNG, and also JPG or WebP, up to 10 MB. Images larger than 4 megapixels are scaled down before tracing.
2. Compare the preview
Look at the original and the vector side by side. If the PNG is a flat logo, the Logo artwork type is the usual starting point. Line art fits a drawing made of strokes.
3. Set the colors before the edges
Maximum colors can be 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24 or 32. A two-color mark often needs 2. Anti-aliased edges can look like extra colors; lowering the count drops those fringe shapes. Detail and smoothness run from 1 to 9.
4. Download the SVG
Choose Edit when you will keep working in Figma, Illustrator or Inkscape. Choose Cut only if the file is going to a vinyl cutter. The SVG is paths, so zooming does not enlarge the original pixel grid.
PNGs this page is for
A PNG is a pixel file. Converting it helps when you need to resize or recolor the artwork, not when you only need a sharper bitmap.
Logos exported as PNG
A logo sent as a PNG can be traced into shapes you can recolor and scale. Start from the largest clear export you have. A screenshot of a logo on a webpage is a weaker source than the file itself.
Icons and flat UI graphics
Simple icons with a handful of fills trace more cleanly than a PNG full of blur, shadow or tiny text. If two strokes already merge in the PNG, the SVG will usually merge them too.
PNGs that already have transparency
A real alpha channel stays out of the shapes. Leave Remove white off for those files. Turn it on only when a connected plain white backdrop should disappear. It does not erase every light color, and it is not a general background remover.
Settings that matter for a PNG
Change one control, then look at the preview again. The first automatic trace is a starting point.
Artwork type
Logo for flat marks and icons. Illustration for drawings with more regions. Line art for ink on a light ground. Photo poster simplifies a photograph into a limited palette and a larger file; it will not look like the photo.
Colors, detail, smoothness
For a typical logo PNG, try 2 to 8 colors, detail around the middle of the 1–9 range, and smoothness around 5 to 7. Raise detail only when a real edge disappeared. You can lock a brand color, merge similar swatches, or delete a color in the palette editor.
Remove white
Use it for a PNG whose background is one connected white area, such as a logo exported on white. Skip it when the PNG is already transparent, or when white shapes are part of the mark. A checkerboard that was saved into the pixels is artwork, and the tracer will treat those squares as shapes.
Which download to pick
Edit downloads an SVG for further editing. Web / App makes smaller markup. Cut is for vinyl cutters and is set up on the SVG for Cricut page. Print and Laser / CNC are separate downloads (PDF or DXF), not a substitute for the SVG.
PNG to SVG — questions
What the converter does with a PNG, and what it leaves alone.
Tracing runs in the browser. If the browser cannot finish, the image can be sent to the tracing server, which does not store it. The converter also keeps an encrypted backup of images you add and the SVG results. Details are in the privacy policy. Privacy policy.
