Who is PNG to SVG for?

Designers who received a logo as a PNG and need a vector version

Web developers preparing icons that need to scale crisply on all screen sizes

Marketers converting old graphics into format-flexible SVGs

Print-on-demand sellers vectorizing artwork for production

Anyone who needs to enlarge a small image without pixelation

Why use PNG to SVG?

Output scales infinitely without losing quality — perfect for logos.
SVGs are typically 5-50x smaller than equivalent PNGs for simple images.
Editable in any vector editor (Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape).
100% browser-based — your images never get uploaded.
Three quality presets balance file size against detail accuracy.

Common use cases

Convert a flat-color logo PNG into a proper SVG for your website.
Vectorize hand-drawn icons so they scale crisply on retina displays.
Turn a screenshot of an illustration into an editable SVG.
Recreate a low-resolution logo as a sharp vector for print.
Convert simple chart images into SVG for resizing in presentations.

How PNG to SVG keeps your data private

Image tracing is performed entirely on your device with the imagetracerjs library. Your PNG is read into memory as a data URL, traced into SVG paths, and discarded — nothing is uploaded, logged, or transmitted to any server. Even confidential brand assets stay completely private.

How PNG to SVG compares to alternatives

Honest comparison to other popular options — pick the right tool for the job.

Tool	Main limitation
Vector Magic	Free tier limited to small images and watermarks output; full version is $295 one-time or $7.95/month
Adobe Illustrator Image Trace	Requires a Creative Cloud subscription and a desktop install — overkill for one-off conversions
Online Convertio / Cloudconvert	Uploads your image to their servers and limits free conversions per day
PNG to SVG	Free, runs in your browser, no sign-up, no watermarks, no file-size limits beyond your device memory.

Limitations & things to know

Best for flat-color images — photos produce huge files because every shade becomes a separate path.
Tracing is approximate; complex artwork may need manual cleanup in a vector editor.
Text in the source image is traced as paths, not as editable text. Re-add real text in your editor afterwards.
Color palettes are quantised to the chosen number of colors (4, 8, or 16).

About PNG to SVG

PNG to SVG conversion (also called vectorization or image tracing) turns a pixel-based image into a set of mathematical paths that scale to any size without quality loss. The XevonTools PNG to SVG converter uses imagetracerjs, an open-source tracer that runs entirely in your browser, to produce clean, editable SVG output from raster images. The tool is ideal for vectorizing logos, icons, badges, line art, and other graphics with a limited color palette — common scenarios where you have a low-resolution PNG and need it to look sharp at any size on a website, business card, or large print. Three quality presets let you balance file size against detail: Simple (4 colors) produces tight files for flat logos, Balanced (8 colors) is a good default for most artwork, and Detailed (16 colors) captures more nuance for illustrations. Because everything happens locally on your device, sensitive design assets never leave your browser. The output is standard SVG that opens in any vector editor for further refinement.

Frequently asked questions

Technically yes, but the output SVG will be huge (often larger than the source PNG) because every gradient and detail becomes a separate path. SVG vectorization is best for logos, icons, line art, and illustrations with limited color palettes.

Yes — the output is standard SVG markup with separate <path> elements per color region. Open it in Figma, Illustrator, or Inkscape and you can edit individual shapes, change colors, or simplify paths.

Tracing is a quantisation process — small details below the tracing threshold get simplified or merged. Use the 'Detailed' preset for more colors and finer paths, or pre-process your image to increase contrast.

Yes. The tracing happens entirely in your browser using imagetracerjs. Your image never gets uploaded to any server.
