Will the SVG be as clean as a hand-drawn vector?

For flat logos and icons it is close: edges become smooth curves and each colour one shape. Anti-aliased edges can produce thin halo shapes — reduce the number of colours or choose Smooth to remove them. A designer redrawing the logo will always beat automatic tracing for text and fine geometry.

Why is my SVG huge or slow to open?

Photos and gradients produce thousands of tiny paths. Use fewer colours (4–8), the Smooth setting and a lower trace size, or accept that a photo belongs in a raster format.

Does it work with transparent PNGs?

Yes. Transparent areas are not traced, so the SVG keeps a transparent background; in black-and-white mode the white background is removed as well.

Can I get outlines or a single-colour cut file?

Choose Black and white: the result is black shapes only, which Cricut, Silhouette and laser software accept directly.

Is the image uploaded?

No. Tracing runs entirely in your browser.

Why convert PNG to SVG

A PNG is a grid of pixels: enlarge it and it goes soft. An SVG is a set of paths and fills, sharp at any size and usually much smaller for flat artwork. Tracing rebuilds those paths by grouping similar colours into layers and following their outlines.

Tracing shines on logos, icons, line art, silhouettes and clip art with flat colours and clear edges. Photographs and gradients trace into hundreds of blobby shapes — for those, keep the raster or use the posterised look on purpose. Transparent PNG backgrounds stay transparent; black-and-white mode drops the white background so the result works as a stencil.

How to convert images to SVG

Drop the PNG (batch is fine).
Pick colour, greyscale or black-and-white, the number of colours and the detail level.
Click Convert and download the SVG — open it in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma or a browser.

About the formats

PNG · Portable Network Graphics · .png

Lossless image format with transparency, ideal for screenshots, logos, icons and graphics with sharp edges or text.

PNG is lossless: every pixel is preserved, which is why photos saved as PNG are 5–10× larger than JPG.
Supports an 8-bit alpha channel, so edges can be partially transparent.
Most browsers and apps have supported PNG since the late 1990s.

WebP · WebP image · .webp

Google’s web image format: 25–35 % smaller than JPG at the same quality, supports transparency and animation, but not every desktop app can open it.

WebP has both lossy and lossless modes, and both support transparency.
All modern browsers support WebP; older image editors, Windows Photos before 2020 and many print workflows do not.
Right-clicking and saving an image from a website often gives you a WebP file even if the page shows a JPG.

GIF · Graphics Interchange Format · .gif

A 1987 format limited to 256 colours per frame, still everywhere because it is the only animated image format every app can play.

GIF transparency is all-or-nothing: a pixel is either fully opaque or fully transparent.
Animated GIFs are large — a 10-second clip can be bigger than the same clip as MP4.
The 256-colour palette causes banding in photos; PNG or WebP is better for still images.

BMP · Windows bitmap · .bmp

An uncompressed Windows image format from the 1990s: simple and lossless, but files are enormous.

A 12-megapixel BMP is about 36 MB; the same photo as JPG is 2–4 MB.
BMP usually has no transparency and no metadata such as camera settings.
Still produced by some scanners, screenshot tools and legacy software.
