How to convert a PNG or JPG to SVG

  1. Upload, drop or paste the image. A square crop around the subject gives the cleanest result.
  2. Choose the number of colours: the fewer, the simpler the shapes.
  3. Pick the detail level: Simple for logos and cut files, Detailed for illustrations.
  4. Turn on Smooth if the edges look noisy, for example on photos or JPG artefacts.
  5. Download the SVG. It scales to any size without blurring.

Raster vs vector: why convert to SVG

PNG and JPG store pixels, so they blur when enlarged. SVG stores shapes, so a logo stays sharp on a business card and a billboard, the file is often smaller, and the colours can be edited in Figma, Illustrator or Inkscape. Tracing turns areas of similar colour into shapes; it cannot invent detail the image does not have, so start from the largest, cleanest version you have.

SVG files for Cricut, Silhouette and laser cutting

Cutting machines follow outlines. Use 2 colours and Simple detail, check that small gaps have not closed, and delete stray specks in your design software before cutting.

Questions

Is this image to SVG converter free?

Yes. Tracing runs in your browser, so the image is never uploaded, and there is no sign-up, watermark or file limit.

Which images convert best to SVG?

Logos, icons, stickers and flat illustrations with few colours and clear edges. Photos convert too, but the SVG gets large and looks like a poster rather than a photo.

How many colours should I use?

2 for a one-colour logo or a cutting file, 4 to 8 for most logos and stickers, 16 for illustrations. Fewer colours give fewer, cleaner shapes.

Does it work for Cricut and Silhouette?

Yes. Use 2 colours and Simple detail for clean cutting paths, then import the SVG into Design Space or Silhouette Studio.

Can AI make an SVG directly?

GPT Image 2.6 can output a static SVG from a text prompt; this tool is for turning an existing PNG or JPG into SVG.
