How to convert a PNG to SVG

Four steps, no account and no upload: the converting happens on your own device.

  1. Drop the PNG

    Drop a PNG, JPG or WebP on the box above, or anywhere on the page. Icons, logos, line art, clip art and flat illustrations all convert well.

  2. Let it trace

    A flat background is cleared, the picture's colors are found, and each color is traced into smooth shapes on a layer of its own.

  3. Check it big

    Switch between the checkerboard, white, black, gray and the brand color, and look closely at the finest lines. Need one color for cutting? Choose Black, White or Any color.

  4. Download the SVG

    Take the SVG, or the same vector as a PDF or an EPS, a DXF cut file 100 mm wide, or a PNG at 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 px.

Full color or one color

Keep every color as its own layer for screens and print, or turn the art into one solid color for machines that cut.

Full color. The converter finds the colors in your picture, small accents and fine lines included, and gives each one a layer of shapes filled with its exact value. Each lower color carries on under the colors above it, so the finished SVG shows no hairline of background where two colors meet, at any zoom.

One color. Black, White and Any color turn the whole design into a single solid color on a transparent background. That is the version vinyl cutters, stencils, screen printers and laser engravers follow, and the one the DXF cut file is drawn from.

Edit any color later. In an SVG each color is one fill value, so a brand refresh or a dark-mode version is a single change in any vector app.

Which PNG gives the best SVG?

A large picture with flat colors and crisp edges. Start from the best copy you have and the curves come out true.

Size. Every extra pixel tells the tracer more about where an edge runs, so the largest copy gives the smoothest curves. A small PNG still converts cleanly: the tracer resamples it finer before it reads the edges.

Edges. The soft pixels along an edge are read as a share of each color, so a smooth, anti-aliased edge becomes a smooth curve rather than a staircase.

Transparency. A transparent PNG stays transparent: the SVG draws only the shapes, and the holes inside letters stay open.

Backgrounds. A flat background color is cleared before tracing, so the SVG holds only your artwork. For a busier background, clear it first with the logo background remover.

JPG to SVG, the same way

Drop the JPG exactly as you would a PNG. The converter clears its background and traces only the artwork.

A JPG always comes with a background, almost always white, because the format has no transparency. MDN's guide to image types notes that JPEG “does not support an alpha channel”. The converter clears that flat background before it traces, so the SVG comes out transparent.

JPG compression also leaves faint specks and color fringes around edges. Each pixel is matched to the nearest of the picture's real colors and shapes too small to be part of the design fall away, so the specks never reach the SVG.

Working from a photo of a sign or a printed logo? Crop it tight, light it evenly and give it a plain background, and the trace follows the logo rather than the room.

SVG for Cricut, Silhouette and laser cutters

Cutting machines follow outlines, not pixels. A traced SVG or the DXF cut file gives them clean paths to follow.

Cricut Design Space

Upload the SVG for a cut file with every shape in place. For a single cut, choose Black first and the outline arrives as one clean layer.

Silhouette Studio

The Designer Edition opens the SVG with its paths ready to cut, and the DXF is there for any setup that prefers a cut outline.

Laser software

LightBurn and other laser programs open SVG and DXF files, so the traced outline becomes the path the laser cuts or engraves.

Vinyl and sign plotters

A one-color SVG or the DXF cut file gives the blade one smooth path per shape, with letter holes kept as holes.

Screen printing and stencils

Black, White or Any color turns the art into one solid color, the separation a screen or a stencil needs.

3D printers

Bring the vector into the 3D Logo Studio and it becomes an STL or a multi-color 3MF, sized in millimeters.

Turn the vector into a printable 3D model with the SVG to STL converter, or start straight from the PNG with PNG to STL.

Edit the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma or Canva

The SVG is a standard vector file, with each color as its own shape, ready for every design app.

Adobe Illustrator. Open the SVG and every color arrives as a separate filled shape, ready to recolor, rescale or combine with type.

Inkscape. SVG is Inkscape's own format, so the file opens as editable paths with no conversion step.

Figma. Drag the SVG onto the canvas. Figma's help center says an imported SVG “is converted into an editable vector layer”.

Canva. Upload the SVG with your other files and place it as a sharp graphic that scales with your design.

Sending it to a printer instead? The PDF and the EPS carry the same vector shapes in the formats print shops ask for.

PNG or SVG: which to use

Keep both: the SVG as the master you scale, cut and edit, and PNGs exported from it for documents, chats and slides.

PNG to SVG FAQ

Short answers about converting PNG and JPG pictures to SVG: color, quality, cutting machines and transparency.

Ask us anything
How do I convert a PNG to SVG?

Drop the PNG on the converter. Its colors are found, each one is traced into smooth vector shapes, and the SVG is ready to download in seconds. It is free, and the file is converted inside your browser.

Can I convert PNG to SVG with color?

Yes. Every color found in the picture becomes its own layer of shapes, filled with that exact color, and each lower color runs under the ones above it, so no thin gap shows where two colors meet. For a single color, choose Black, White or Any color.

Is the PNG to SVG converter free?

Yes. Converting your own PNG, JPG or WebP files is free and unlimited, with no account. Starting from a company website instead uses the Logo Finder’s free searches.

Will my SVG be high quality?

The tracer reads every edge with sub-pixel precision from the soft pixels along it, keeps corners sharp and straight lines straight, and fits smooth curves everywhere else. Look at the result big on white, black or the checkerboard before you download it.

Can I use the SVG with Cricut or Silhouette?

Yes. Cricut Design Space uploads SVG files, Silhouette Studio’s Designer Edition opens them, and the DXF cut file covers machines that prefer DXF. A one-color version gives the cleanest cut.

How do I convert JPG to SVG?

Drop the JPG just as you would a PNG. A JPG always carries a background, usually white, so the converter clears a flat background first and traces only the artwork, and stray JPEG specks fall away.

Does a transparent PNG stay transparent as SVG?

Yes. An SVG draws only its shapes, so wherever the PNG was see-through, the SVG is too, including the holes inside letters.

What size PNG gives the best SVG?

The largest copy you have. More pixels carry truer curves, so a big PNG with flat colors and crisp edges gives the cleanest SVG. Only have a small one? Type the company website instead: the Logo Finder often finds a larger file or the original vector.
