How to convert PNG to SVG
Drop a PNG image into the box. It works best with logos, icons, and flat graphics — anything with clear shapes and solid colors. Your file stays in this tab and is never uploaded.
Adjust the threshold slider if the result has too much or too little detail. Higher values capture lighter areas; lower values keep only the darkest shapes.
Click Convert. The vectorized SVG appears below — preview it at any zoom, then copy the code or download the file for your design tool or website.
Know-how
Logos and icons: why vector beats pixels at any size
A PNG logo looks perfect at 200 pixels and blocky at 2000 — the pixels are fixed at export time. SVG stores shapes as mathematical curves, so the same file renders crisply on a business card and a billboard. That is why print shops ask for vector files: one logo, every use. This tool turns your flat PNG back into those curves, so a raster logo you only have as a screenshot can live in every future size. Keep in mind it redraws what it sees — a low-resolution PNG still traces to clean edges, but fine details that were never in the pixels cannot be invented.
From flat design to web: SVG in modern websites
Modern sites ship icons and illustrations as SVG by default: the files are often smaller than the PNG equivalent, they stay razor-sharp on high-DPI screens, and their colors can be changed with one line of CSS. A PNG icon exported once at 64 pixels is a liability on a retina display; the same shape as SVG costs nothing to scale. If you are building a site, a logo page, or a favicon set, converting your flat assets to SVG first removes an entire class of blurry-image bugs. This tool gives you that conversion in seconds, with no design software needed.
What vectorization can and cannot do: honest limits
Vectorization is redrawing, not magic. Give it a flat logo and you get clean, infinitely scalable paths. Give it a photo and you get bands of shapes that read as abstract art — the tool will do it, but the result is a stylized interpretation, not a copy. Gradients and soft shadows are the usual casualties: a vector path has a single fill color, so smooth transitions become steps. The threshold slider exists exactly for this trade-off — slide it until the shapes you care about are solid and the noise you do not care about disappears. When in doubt, crop to the graphic itself before converting: less background means a cleaner trace and a smaller SVG file.
Frequently asked questions
Is this PNG to SVG converter really free?+
Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — there is no server, so there is nothing to charge for and no limit on how many images you vectorize.
Will the SVG look exactly like my PNG?+
Very close for flat graphics — logos, icons, and shapes with solid colors vectorize almost perfectly. Photos and images with gradients become stylized bands of shapes, because vectorization redraws pixels as curves rather than copying them.
What images work best?+
Logos, icons, clipart, and flat illustrations with clear edges and few colors. Screenshots of solid UI elements also work well. The more like a photo your image is, the less suitable it is for vectorization.
Can I edit the SVG afterwards?+
Yes. The file contains real vector paths, not pixels — open it in Inkscape, Figma, Illustrator, or any editor that reads SVG, change colors, move points, and export at any size without quality loss.
What does the threshold slider do?+
It decides which pixels become part of a shape. Pixels darker than the threshold turn into vector paths; lighter ones become background. Slide it up to include faint areas, down to keep only solid, dark shapes.
