What kinds of PNG images vectorize best?

Simple logos, icons, line art, and silhouettes with clear edges and limited colours trace the most cleanly. Complex photographs or gradients produce large, messy SVGs that are usually not practical for use.

Will the vectorized SVG scale perfectly at any size?

Yes. Once converted to SVG, the vector paths scale to any resolution without pixelation. This makes it ideal for logos and icons that need to appear at multiple sizes.

Does the SVG output preserve the original colours?

The tracer captures the dominant colours from the PNG and maps them to filled vector paths. For simple flat-colour images, colour accuracy is high. For photographs, colours are approximated into colour regions.

Is my PNG file uploaded to a server?

No. All vectorization runs in your browser. Your image never leaves your device — fully private.

Tips:

•This tool converts raster pixels to SVG rectangles — best suited for simple, flat-color icons
•Keep source images small (128 px or less) for faster conversion and a smaller SVG file
•Transparent pixels are skipped — only solid or semi-opaque pixels are vectorized
•For complex images with gradients, the SVG output may be very large; consider re-drawing in a vector editor
