Image to SVG · trace a bitmap to vector

Colours 2–32, smoothness 0–10, one layer per colour. Local processing, nothing uploaded.

Use it online now

Drop a logo or icon in, set the colour count, and it is traced to vector.

Tracing happens in two stages: the image is first quantised to a chosen number of colours (between 2 and 32, default 8), then the outline of each colour's connected regions is traced into polygons, simplified, and assembled into SVG paths. Each colour becomes its own layer, so you can still recolour or delete one afterwards. Two controls: colours 2–32 — more is closer to the original, but path count and file size rise with it — and smoothness 0–10, where higher means cleaner outlines and fewer details. Be clear about the fit: this is colour quantisation plus contour tracing, not AI vectorisation. It suits logos, icons, line art and flat illustration; a photo traces into a pile of colour blobs, looks nothing like the original, and often ends up larger than it. It all runs in your own browser; the image is never uploaded.

Key features

Colours 2–32

More is closer to the original, but path count and file size rise with it. Logos usually need 4–8.

Smoothness 0–10

Higher means cleaner outlines and fewer details; nudge it up when edges look ragged.

One layer per colour

Each colour lands on its own layer, so you can recolour or delete one after tracing.

    2 to 32. Start at 8; go lower for images with few flat areas.
  3. 3
    Tune smoothness
    0 to 10. Up when the edges look ragged, down when details go missing.

FAQ

Can I convert a photo to SVG?
Technically yes, but it is not advisable. This is colour quantisation plus contour tracing, so a photo comes out as a pile of colour blobs that looks nothing like the original and often ends up larger than it. SVG really suits logos, icons and line art — few colours, clean edges.
How many colours should I use?
The range is 2 to 32, default 8. More colours get closer to the original, but path count and file size rise with them. Logos usually need 4 to 8; illustrations with gradients can go higher, though do not expect the gradient back — quantisation turns it into bands.
The edges look ragged, or details went missing — now what?
Adjust smoothness, range 0 to 10. Higher gives cleaner outlines at the cost of detail. Nudge it up when you see jagged edges and down when small elements disappear; small steps get you there fastest.
Is it free? Is my image uploaded?
Free, no sign-up, no usage limit. Nothing is uploaded either — it all runs in your own browser.
