TracerImage to SVG
Image to SVG converter
Any raster image in, clean editable vector paths out. Free for SVG, nothing to install.
SVG export is free. DXF, EPS and PDF are on the Pro plan.
This is the general version: whatever raster file you have, this page turns it into an SVG.
Raster images are made of pixels, so they have a fixed resolution and blur when enlarged. Vectors are made of curves, so they stay sharp forever and can be recoloured, reshaped and cut. That difference matters the moment your artwork has to leave the screen.
How it works
Upload your image
PNG, JPG, WebP and the usual raster formats. Drag it in or pick a file.
Choose how it should be traced
Six presets cover most cases: Auto, Clean / Flat, Logo / Line art, Detailed, Sketch, and Tattoo / Stencil. Threshold and Corner rounding let you adjust further in the full editor, for the single-colour presets.
Export
SVG is free. DXF, EPS and PDF are available on Pro (DXF from a single-colour trace), for when the file is going to a machine or a print shop.
Which preset for which artwork
Logo / Line art — flat marks, monochrome shapes, anything with hard edges. The result is a single colour.
Clean / Flat — illustrations with a designed palette. Merges near-identical tones so you get regions rather than fragments.
Detailed — artwork with more going on, where a flatter preset loses something you need.
Sketch — pencil and ink drawings, hand lettering, anything with a drawn stroke.
Tattoo / Stencil — high contrast single-colour output, for cutting and stencils. It flattens transparency onto white first.
Auto — a reasonable starting point when you would rather look at a result than make a decision first.
What to check before you export
Three things, every time.
The holes. The gap inside an O or an A should be a real hole, not a white shape sitting on top. On a white background the two look identical. Put the result on a coloured background and the difference is immediate.
The size it will be used at. Detail that reads at full size turns to mud at 16px. If it does, the artwork needs simplifying, which is a design decision rather than a file problem.
The shape count. If the result has far more shapes than your artwork has elements, the extras are artefacts. A flatter preset will usually clear them.
