About Image Vectorizer

Image Vectorizer converts PNG, JPG, WEBP, BMP, and GIF images into clean, scalable SVG vector graphics using the imagetracerjs algorithm — all inside your browser.

Adjust color count, detail level, and simplification to fine-tune the output. Download the SVG or copy the source code.

Key Features of Image Vectorizer

  • Browser-based processing — no server uploads, full privacy
  • Supports PNG, JPG, WEBP, BMP, and GIF input formats
  • Adjustable color palette (2–64 colors) for detail control
  • Detail threshold slider to capture fine lines and edges
  • Path simplification to reduce noise and output file size
  • Live side-by-side preview of original vs. vector result
  • One-click SVG file download
  • Copy raw SVG source code to clipboard

Supported Formats

Input Formats

PNGJPG / JPEGWEBPBMPGIF

Output Formats

SVG

Best results with images that have clear shapes and solid colors (logos, icons, illustrations). Photos with many gradients produce complex, large SVGs.

Examples

Logo Vectorization

Convert a PNG company logo to a clean SVG — set Colors to 4 and Simplification to 5 for minimal paths perfect for web use.

Input

PNG logo 800×800px, 4 distinct colors

Output

Clean SVG file, ~12 KB

Flat Icon Conversion

Turn a 256×256 flat-design PNG icon into a crisp SVG with 8 colors and low simplification for accurate paths.

Input

PNG icon 256×256px with flat design

Output

SVG icon, ~3 KB

Scanned Sketch Tracing

Trace a pencil sketch — raise the Detail slider to capture fine lines and increase Simplification to remove paper noise.

Input

Scanned pencil sketch JPG 1200×900px

Output

SVG with traced pencil paths

Common Use Cases

  • Converting company logos to scalable SVG for web and print
  • Creating crisp SVG icons from pixel-art originals
  • Preparing illustrations for laser cutting or CNC machining
  • Converting scanned hand-drawn sketches to editable vector paths
  • Producing SVG assets for fully responsive websites
  • Archiving clip art or vintage illustrations in a scalable format

Troubleshooting

Output SVG looks like a blurry blob

Solution

Lower the color count and raise the Detail slider. Complex photos rarely vectorize cleanly — try a simplified or posterized version of the image first.

SVG file size is extremely large (> 1 MB)

Solution

Reduce the color count and increase the Simplification value. Photos produce thousands of tiny paths — simplify the source image before vectorizing.

Colors in SVG do not match the original

Solution

Increase the Colors value. The tracer quantizes the palette; more colors gives more accurate color reproduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of images work best?

Images with clear shapes, solid colors, and high contrast — logos, icons, illustrations — produce the best vector output. Photos with many gradients will result in complex SVGs.

What does the Colors option do?

It sets how many distinct colors the tracer uses. Fewer colors = simpler SVG. More colors = more detailed but larger file.

What is path simplification?

Small isolated paths below the simplification threshold are removed, reducing noise and file size.

Is processing done on a server?

No. The imagetracerjs library runs entirely in your browser. No image data is ever sent to a server.

Can I edit the SVG after downloading?

Yes. Open it in Inkscape (free), Adobe Illustrator, Figma, or any vector editor to refine paths, change colors, or resize elements.

What file size can I vectorize?

There is no hard limit, but very large images (above 5 MB) may slow down the browser. For best performance, keep source images under 2 MB.
