About This Tool
Vector-traces a raster image (PNG, JPEG, etc.) into an SVG. Works best on high-contrast, simple artwork — logos, icons, line art — rather than photographs.
The trace produces a single-color or limited-palette SVG. Expect excellent results on flat designs and degraded fidelity on anti-aliased or photographic sources.
Why Use This Tool
- Logo vectorization — Recover a scalable logo from a bitmap source
- Icon scaling — Make icons crisp at any display density
- Laser cutting / plotting — Produce vector paths from raster designs
- Stencil generation — Vectorize silhouettes for cut/fabrication workflows
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work on photographs?
Not well — tracing is designed for flat-shaded artwork. Photos produce complex, impractical SVGs.
How many colors are preserved?
The default trace is single-color. Multi-color tracing produces larger SVGs and is best tuned per image.
Can I edit the result?
Yes — the output is standard SVG and opens in Illustrator, Inkscape, and Figma.
