Convert PNG to SVG

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device – there is no server that could see it. Once the page has loaded, the tool even works offline.

Start with the style: Black & white for logos and line art, Colour for illustrations, Photo for photographs. Then reduce “Number of colours” until the shapes look clean, raise “Remove speckles” to kill noise, and use “Corner threshold” and “Path smoothing” to decide between crisp corners and soft curves. Every change re-traces the image and refreshes the preview.

Every distinct colour area becomes a path. Fewer colours, a higher speckle limit, “Simplify curves” at 1–2.5 px and the optimise switch usually cut the size by a large factor. For a photo, also lower “Trace at most” – tracing at 800 px instead of 4000 px changes little on screen but a lot in the file.

Yes, with the Photo style – but the result is an artistic approximation made of coloured shapes, not a pixel-perfect copy. Vector tracing shines on logos, icons, drawings and flat illustrations; for photos, a raster format stays the better choice.

Yes. The SVG contains plain paths with fill colours – no embedded bitmap, no tricks. Use the “Cut-out” layering if you want flat, non-overlapping shapes that are easier to recolour by hand.

vtracer by visioncortex, an open-source tracer that clusters colours hierarchically and fits curves to the outlines. It runs as WebAssembly in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
