PNG to SVG free, real vector paths

Drop in a PNG and get a real SVG back: traced shapes you can scale, recolour and edit, not a PNG hidden inside an SVG file. PNG to SVG free, no account, no watermark, 10 images a day.

Convert PNG to SVG in three steps
  1. Drop your PNG (or JPG, WEBP, HEIC) into the box above, up to 20 MB.
  2. Pick Logo or illustration for flat artwork, Photo for a picture, or Black & white for a cutting machine.
  3. Check the preview and download the SVG. Nothing is kept on our side.

A PNG is a grid of pixels: blow it up and the edges go soft. An SVG is a set of shapes, so it stays sharp at any size, from a favicon to a shop window. That is why printers, sign makers, embroiderers and Cricut users ask for “a vector file”.

What a PNG to SVG converter can and cannot do

Tracing works best on flat artwork: logos, icons, clip art, stamps, line drawings and text. A clean PNG of a logo comes back as a handful of coloured shapes that you can edit in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma or Canva.

A photo is different. It has thousands of colour shades, so its SVG becomes a big file of small patches, like a detailed poster. Our Photo mode keeps it close to the original, but the file is often several megabytes. For a photo you usually want the PNG or JPG itself, unless you need a stylised vector look.

Free, and what the limit is

10 images a day are free, at full quality, with no watermark and no account. That allowance is shared with the background remover on this site and resets at midnight. A ShinobiTools pass raises it (up to 50 a day) and also allows bigger photos. The paid vectorizers usually show you a free preview and ask for a subscription before the download; here the download is the free part.

Working from a JPG? Image to SVG takes JPG, PNG, WEBP and HEIC. Need a file for a laser cutter or CNC? Use JPG to DXF, which gives you an SVG and a DXF in millimetres.

Common questions

Is this a real SVG or a PNG inside an SVG?

A real SVG. Your image is traced into vector shapes (paths), so you can scale, recolour and edit every part in any vector editor.

Is PNG to SVG free?

Yes. 10 images a day are free, with no account and no watermark. The allowance is shared with the background remover on this site and resets at midnight.

Does it keep transparency?

Yes. Transparent areas of your PNG get no shape, so the SVG is see-through in the same places.

Can I convert a photo to SVG?

Yes, with Photo mode, but a photo becomes a large SVG of many small shapes. Logos, icons, drawings and text give the cleanest result.

What is the file size limit?

20 MB per image, up to 30 megapixels on the free tier. Images are traced at up to 2048 pixels on the longest side.

Do you keep my image?

No. It is traced on our server and deleted as soon as your SVG is sent back.
