PNG to SVG Converter (Trace)

Runs in browser

Vectorize PNG images to scalable SVG using automatic bitmap tracing. Choose detail level — best for logos, icons, and flat illustrations.

Last updated 31 Mar 2026

To convert PNG to SVG, drop your image into the tool, select a tracing detail level (Simple, Medium, or Detailed), and click Download. The tool analyses your image's colours and shapes, then generates clean SVG vector paths. Best for logos, icons, and simple illustrations — not for photographs. All processing runs in your browser; files never leave your device.

Tracing Detail

Higher detail = more colours and sharper edges, but larger SVG file.

How to use

  1. 1

    Open the PNG to SVG converter

    Visit the tool on kordu.tools — no account or installation needed.

  2. 2

    Upload your PNG image

    Click the upload area or drag and drop a PNG. Works best with logos, icons, and simple graphics on a solid or transparent background.

  3. 3

    Choose tracing detail level

    Select Simple (clean, 4-colour paths for logos), Medium (8 colours for illustrations), or Detailed (16 colours for complex graphics).

  4. 4

    Preview the SVG output

    Review the vector preview and check that key shapes and edges are captured correctly.

  5. 5

    Download the SVG

    Click Download to save the SVG file. Open in Inkscape, Figma, or Illustrator for further editing.

Frequently asked questions

Does PNG to SVG work for photographs?
Technically yes, but the result will be a posterised/artistic vector interpretation rather than a photorealistic reproduction. Bitmap tracing works best for logos, icons, clipart, and flat illustrations with distinct colour regions.
What's the difference between the detail levels?
Simple uses 4 colours with smoothed paths — best for logos and icons. Medium uses 8 colours — good for illustrations. Detailed uses 16 colours with no smoothing — most faithful to the original, but produces larger SVG files.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The bitmap tracing algorithm runs entirely in your browser using the imagetracerjs library. Your files never leave your device.
Can I edit the SVG after converting?
Yes. The output SVG can be opened in Inkscape (free), Adobe Illustrator, Figma, Sketch, or any SVG editor for refinement, path simplification, or colour changes.
Why isn't my logo vectorising cleanly?
For best results: ensure the logo has a transparent or solid-colour background, uses distinct flat colours (not gradients or shadows), and is at least 256px wide. Pre-processing in an image editor to increase contrast helps significantly.
Does the converter handle transparency?
Yes. If your PNG has a transparent background, the SVG will also have a transparent background. This makes it ideal for logos on websites.
What's the maximum input file size?
The tool handles PNG files up to 10 MB. Larger files may cause slow tracing in the browser — consider resizing first.
Why choose SVG over PNG?
SVG is scalable — it looks sharp at any size from favicon to billboard. SVG files are also usually smaller than high-resolution PNGs for logos, and they're natively editable in design tools.
Can I use this for JPG or WebP images too?
Yes. The tool also accepts JPG, JPEG, and WebP images as input — not just PNG.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes. The tool works on any modern mobile browser, though tracing complex images may be slower on older mobile devices.

Convert PNG raster images to scalable SVG vector graphics using automatic bitmap

tracing — directly in your browser. The tool analyses your image's colours and

shapes, then generates clean SVG path definitions that can be scaled to any size

without pixelation.

Choose between three detail levels: Simple (4 colours, smoothed paths — best for

logos and icons), Medium (8 colours — good for illustrations), and Detailed (16

colours, no smoothing — best for complex flat graphics). Higher detail produces

larger SVG files but more faithful reproductions.

Important: bitmap tracing works best on logos, icons, clipart, and flat

illustrations with distinct edges. Photographs will produce an artistic posterised

result rather than a photorealistic vector. The output SVG can be edited in

Inkscape, Illustrator, Figma, or any SVG editor for further refinement.

Processing runs entirely client-side using the imagetracerjs library; your files

never leave your device.
