Overview

Easily convert your PNG raster images into scalable SVG vector files with our efficient conversion tool, supporting multiple tracing methods to suit your design requirements.

When to use

  • When you need to scale a logo or icon without losing image quality.
  • When preparing web graphics that require a lightweight, resolution-independent format.
  • When you need to convert bitmap assets into vector paths for further editing in design software.

How it works

  1. 1Upload your PNG file using the file selector.
  2. 2Select your preferred conversion method, such as Embedded Image, ImageTracerJS, or Potrace.
  3. 3Adjust optional settings like target dimensions or image quality if needed.
  4. 4Click convert to generate and download your new SVG file.

Use cases

  • Converting low-resolution logos into scalable vector formats for print materials.
  • Optimizing web icons to ensure they remain sharp on high-DPI displays.
  • Preparing simple graphics for animation or manipulation in vector editing software.

Compare alternatives

  • Convert SVG vector graphics to PNG raster format with customizable resolution, quality, and transparency options

  • Convert multiple image files between different formats like JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, GIF with quality settings and batch processing

  • Convert Canon CR2 RAW files to PNG format.

Who it's for

Best for

  • Convert images in the browser.
  • Workflows where SVG Method matters, such as Embedded Image (recommended) or Vector Traced (ImageTracerJS).
  • Repeatable jobs with images and the same settings every time.

Not ideal for

  • Fully automated batch jobs — this page is built for interactive use; use the API endpoint for scripts.
  • Files in formats this tool does not accept — it works with .png input.

Edge cases & common failures

  • Very large files

    Large files take longer and can hit browser memory limits — try a smaller sample first.

  • Skipping the output check

    Compare the first rows or pages of the output with the input before using it in production.

  • Files from unusual exporters

    Some files use format variants that do not convert cleanly — if the output looks wrong, re-save the file from the app that created it and try again.

Examples

1. Vectorizing a Company Logo

Graphic Designer

Background

A designer has a high-resolution PNG logo but needs it in SVG format for a website header to ensure it looks sharp on all screen sizes.

Problem

The raster PNG becomes pixelated when scaled up for large banners.

How to use

Upload the logo PNG and select the 'Potrace' method for clean vector paths.

method: potrace

Outcome

A clean, scalable SVG file that maintains perfect clarity at any size.

2. Embedding Icons for Web Development

Web Developer

Background

A developer needs to include several small PNG icons directly into an HTML file to reduce HTTP requests.

Problem

Managing multiple image files is slowing down the site's initial load.

How to use

Upload the icons and use the 'Embedded' method to convert them into self-contained SVG code.

method: embedded, quality: 100

FAQ

What is the difference between the conversion methods?

Embedded keeps the original raster data inside an SVG wrapper, while ImageTracerJS and Potrace perform vector tracing to create actual paths.

Can I resize the image during conversion?

Yes, you can specify a target width and height, and toggle the preserve aspect ratio setting to maintain proportions.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes, the tool supports PNG files up to 10MB.

Does this tool support batch conversion?

Currently, this tool processes one PNG file at a time.

What happens if I choose the 'Embedded' method?

The PNG is encoded into the SVG file structure, which is useful for embedding images in code without needing external file references.
