PNG to SVG Converter

Turn a PNG into an SVG without uploading it

Two outputs are available. Black and white trace treats pixels darker than a threshold as ink, merges neighboring ink into rectangles, and writes those rectangles as a single SVG path. Embed keeps the color bitmap and wraps it in an SVG image element. Both run in the browser. A built-in sample mark shows a trace as soon as the page opens.

When a trace looks good

Logos, icons, and high-contrast line art produce a small path. Photographs produce many rectangles and a large file, because each tone boundary becomes geometry. If the longest side is over 256 pixels, the image is scaled down before tracing so the SVG stays usable. Raise the threshold to keep only darker strokes, or lower it to pick up lighter gray.

For the reverse conversion, use the SVG to PNG Converter. To stay in raster formats, use the PNG to JPG Converter or the PNG to WebP Converter.

Example

The sample is an 8 by 8 canvas with a solid 4 by 4 dark block. At the default threshold it becomes one shape and 16 ink pixels. The markup is a white background rectangle plus one path.
