PIXELS IN. PATHS OUT.
Give simple graphics a scalable future.
Real vector paths. Nothing uploaded.
No PNG loaded yet.
More detail means more paths. The color limit includes transparent areas; similar colors may merge.
Add a PNG to get started.
Real outlines. Room to scale.
Your pixels become editable vector contours.
A SMALL TOOL. A CLEAR JOB.
Automatic tracing works best for logos, icons, line art and simple graphics. It is not suitable for photographs. Photos contain gradients and texture that turn into many approximate shapes, not a faithful editable photo.
This PNG to SVG converter traces the pixels into colored paths. It does not place your PNG inside an SVG wrapper.
Drop or choose one PNG, or paste a copied PNG image. Choose precision and the maximum number of colors. Convert, inspect the vector preview, and download. The original filename is kept with an .svg extension; clipboard images use pasted-image.svg.
Smooth simplifies small contours. Detailed keeps finer contours and may produce larger files. Color count controls palette quantization, not an exact guaranteed number of visible colors. Transparency is traced as part of that palette; soft edges can change.
One PNG up to 10 MB and 16 million decoded pixels. Tracing uses a working image up to 1,024 pixels on its longest side; output keeps the original width and height with scalable paths. Details smaller than the working image can be lost. No batch processing, accounts or saved history.
Yes. ImageTracer.js quantizes the image into color layers, finds contours and fits line and quadratic curve segments. The downloaded SVG contains paths, not an embedded image or base64 PNG.
Tracing is an approximation. Use a sharp, simple source and try Detailed precision. Text, fine texture and gradients may change. If you have the original vector artwork, use that instead.
Focus the paste area and paste an actual PNG image. Copied URLs, HTML and plain text are not image files. On mobile or browsers without image clipboard support, choose a PNG file instead.
Only in your browser. A local worker runs ImageTracer.js; your PNG and SVG are not uploaded. The tracing library is served from this same site.
