JPG to SVG Converter — Raster to True Vector
Convert JPG and PNG raster images into scalable SVG vector files directly in your browser. Uses the imagetracerjs path-tracing library to analyze pixel data and generate true vector paths. Adjustable noise reduction, smoothing, and color palette controls let you tune the output quality.
True Vector Path Tracing
Unlike fake 'SVG converters' that simply embed your raster image inside an SVG tag, this tool uses imagetracerjs to perform real path tracing — analyzing pixel clusters and generating actual SVG vector paths that scale infinitely without quality loss.
Adjustable Quality Controls
Three controls let you tune the vectorization: Noise Reduction (blur) removes image artifacts before tracing, Smoothing controls how tightly the paths follow edges, and Max Colors sets the color palette complexity of the output SVG.
Best Results for Simple Images
Vector tracing works best on logos, icons, line art, diagrams, and illustrations with clear edges and limited colors. Photographs with gradients and complex textures will produce large SVG files — for those, SVG to PNG is a better workflow.
How it Works
Upload your JPG or PNG image using the upload area.
Adjust the noise reduction, smoothing, and color settings for your image type.
Click Vectorize & Download SVG to run the path tracing locally.
The SVG file downloads automatically and can be opened in any vector editor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of images vectorize well?
Logos, icons, illustrations, diagrams, and line art with clear edges and limited colors vectorize best. Simple flat designs produce clean, small SVG files. Complex photographs produce very large, messy SVG files and are not recommended.
Q: What does the Noise Reduction (blur) setting do?
Noise reduction applies a blur before tracing to remove image artifacts, compression noise, and thin details that would otherwise create hundreds of tiny unwanted paths. Higher values = smoother but less detailed output.
Q: What does Smoothing control?
Smoothing determines how closely the vector paths follow the edges in your image. Low values = sharp, angular paths that closely match the original. High values = smoother, rounder paths that simplify the shape.
Q: Is the SVG editable in Illustrator or Inkscape?
Yes. The output is standard SVG with proper path elements. It can be opened, edited, and refined in Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, or any other vector editor.
Q: Is my image uploaded to any server?
No. The entire vectorization process runs locally using imagetracerjs inside your browser. Your image is processed in browser RAM and never transmitted anywhere.
Q: Can I convert PNG with transparency?
Yes. PNG files with transparent backgrounds are accepted. The transparent areas are treated as empty space in the vectorization, resulting in an SVG without a background fill.
