This tool runs directly in your browser and traces each PNG into a simplified SVG. It works best for logos, diagrams, icons, signatures, and other simple artwork.

How to convert PNG to SVG

1

Drag and drop your PNG files into the upload zone, or click to browse and select them from your device.

2

Click Convert to SVG. The PNG is traced directly in your browser and exported as a simplified SVG built from vector shapes.

3

Download the traced SVG file and review it in your editor or browser. Simple artwork usually gives the cleanest result.

PNG and SVG - what's the difference?

PNG Lossless
PNG is a popular lossless image format commonly used for screenshots, graphics, and transparent images.
SVG Vector
SVG is a scalable vector image format often used for icons, illustrations, and logos.

Why People Convert PNG to SVG

Convert PNG files to SVG online for free. This browser-first tool traces each PNG into a simplified SVG built from vector shapes, which works best for logos, diagrams, signatures, icons, and other high-contrast artwork.

PNG is a raster format, so it stores images as pixels. SVG is a vector format, which is more flexible for scaling, editing, and design reuse when the artwork is simple enough to trace cleanly.

That means PNG to SVG is most useful for logos, icons, diagrams, line art, signatures, and high-contrast graphics. Detailed photos can still be converted, but the traced SVG may become very complex and less practical.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert PNG to SVG?
Add one or more PNG files, click Convert to SVG, and download the traced SVG files when they are ready.
Is this a true one-to-one PNG reconstruction?
No. This tool creates a traced SVG approximation, so it works best for logos, icons, diagrams, and simple artwork rather than detailed photos.
Does PNG to SVG run in the browser?
Yes. The tracing runs in your browser and does not require uploading the PNG to a server.
What kinds of PNG files work best?
High-contrast artwork, logos, icons, signatures, and simple diagrams usually produce the cleanest SVG output.
Why are photos a poor input for PNG to SVG?
SVG tracing works by converting color regions into vector shapes. A photo has millions of individual pixel colors, which results in an extremely complex SVG with thousands of tiny shapes — often larger than the original PNG and not practically editable.
Can I edit the traced SVG in a design tool?
Yes. Traced SVGs open in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape, and similar tools. Simple logos and icons usually trace cleanly enough to refine. Complex artwork may need significant cleanup.
Is the SVG output scalable without quality loss?
Yes. Once traced to SVG, the output is resolution-independent and scales cleanly to any size without the pixelation you'd get from enlarging a raster PNG.
