Trace PNG to SVG
Trace high-resolution colour-region contours into closed scalable SVG paths. Illustrations and logos trace best; gradients and photography remain approximations.
Contour tracing is much finer than the previous pixel-strip converter. For very detailed photos, a dedicated vector graphics editor may still look better. Up to 5 conversions per hour per browser.5 remaining. Your vector stays in this browser session for at most two hours; PNGPond does not receive or retain the source image.
How to use PNG to SVG
- 1Choose an original PNG, preferably an icon or flat-color graphic.
- 2Choose a simple, balanced or detailed colour palette.
- 3Trace actual coloured vector paths in your browser (five conversions per hour per browser).
- 4Review the vector on its own download page; the result expires within two hours.
About png to svg
Vector SVG files use scalable shapes rather than storing a raster photo. PNGPond traces coloured areas into vector paths; line art and icons usually work better than detailed photographs. The final downloadable SVG opens on its own review page.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real vector or an embedded image?
It makes SVG path shapes from traced image colours. No PNG or base64 raster image is embedded.
Will a photo become a perfect vector?
No. Complex photography and gradients are simplified into stylized flat-colour regions.
Is the image uploaded to a server?
No. Tracing and your two-hour temporary result stay in your own browser session.
