PNG to SVG Examples
Every picture here was made with our own image model, then traced by this PNG to SVG converter in a browser with the settings you load. Switch three of them to AI to compare the AI vectorizer.
Hand lettering for a vinyl sticker

Line art preset: the ink traced, the paper gone, ready for an engraver or a stencil.
What PNG to SVG Tracing Does Best
Tracing turns pixels into shapes of flat color. Here is where it shines and where to expect less.
Works best
- Logos, icons and flat illustrations
- Line art, signatures and scans in one color
- Lettering and sticker designs for cutting machines
- Pictures with a few clear colors, transparent or on white
Harder
- Photos: they become posters of flat color
- Gradients: they turn into bands of color
- Tiny text and hairlines (try the AI vectorizer)
- Blurry, tiny or heavily compressed JPGs
Small pictures are enlarged before tracing, and the result shows its colors, paths and file size, so nothing changes silently.
Why Use This PNG to SVG Converter
Many free converters stop at a preview, add a watermark or ask for an account. This one doesn't, and its files stay clean.
01
Free and private
No sign-up, no watermark, no daily limit. The tracing runs in your browser, so your logo never leaves your device.
02
The colors you choose
Auto finds the picture's real colors, or pick 2 to 16. Change any color, merge two close ones, or remove one to leave it see-through.
03
A clean, editable SVG
A viewBox, one named group per color and paths only: no embedded picture and no script. It opens cleanly in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape and Cricut Design Space.
04
Ready for cutting machines
The Cutting machine preset keeps a few smooth layers that never overlap, for Cricut, Silhouette and laser cutters.
05
AI vectorize for hard pictures
Small text, fine detail or a photo: send the same picture to the AI vectorizer, a 1-credit run, and compare both results side by side.
06
Transparent backgrounds done right
A transparent PNG stays transparent, holes and soft edges included, and a white background goes with one switch.
Converting PNG to SVG: a Practical Guide
What tracing does, how to get the cleanest file, and when AI is worth it.
Can you really convert PNG to SVG?
A PNG stores pixels; an SVG stores shapes. To make the switch, a tracer finds the area of each color and draws its outline as smooth curves. That gives real paths you can scale and recolor. Some sites only wrap the PNG inside an SVG file: it looks the same, but it can't be scaled or edited.
Getting the cleanest SVG
Start from the largest, sharpest picture you have. Choose the fewest colors that still look right: every extra color adds shapes. For a logo on white, keep Remove white background on; for a scanned drawing, use Line art and move Line weight until the strokes look right.
Photos and gradients
A photo traced to SVG becomes a poster: flat areas of color, like screen printing. Photo poster keeps the file light with eight colors by default. Gradients become bands of color. When a photo should keep more detail, the AI vectorizer does better, and its file is bigger.
When to use AI vectorize
Trace for free first. If small letters thicken, fine lines break or a photo needs more detail, send the same picture to the AI vectorizer under the tracer: it draws the shapes with fewer, cleaner curves. It runs on our server in about 15 seconds, as a 1-credit run.
Using your SVG in other apps
Open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma or Canva to edit it, or upload it to Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio to cut it: each color is its own group, so each becomes its own layer. Need a bigger PNG or a JPG again? Send the SVG to SVG to PNG.
