Does it trace a PNG image now?

Yes. Upload a PNG to generate and download an SVG.

Where does conversion run?

Image decoding and tracing run locally in the browser.

Flat logos, icons and illustrations trace best; photographs can produce larger, less editable SVGs.

Yes. SVGKit tools are free to use with no account required.

Does PNG to SVG upload my files?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device.

What input does PNG to SVG accept?

The supported formats are listed on the input control above; the tool validates input and reports a clear error for anything it cannot parse.

Is the output production-ready?

Yes, the output is standards-based markup. Preview it at the sizes where it will ship before replacing a production asset.

Why does the output differ slightly from the input?

Formats support different features, and conversion preserves what the target format can represent. Differences concentrate in gradients, filters, and interactive features.

Where PNG to SVG fits

PNG to SVG decodes an uploaded PNG locally and traces its colors and contours into editable SVG paths.

Related guides

Browser tracing

The tool decodes the PNG in your browser, reduces it to a practical color palette, traces its contours, and emits downloadable SVG paths.

Transparency

PNG alpha is decoded locally. Fully transparent areas drop out of the trace, so logos and icons convert cleanly.

Conversion is a translation between formats: PNG to SVG preserves what the target format can represent and previews it before export.

How the conversion works

PNG to SVG parses the input in your browser, applies the target format's rules, and produces standards-based output without a server round-trip. The page shows the result before you commit to it.

What to expect from the output

Formats have different capabilities, so conversion is a translation rather than a perfect copy. Check dimensions, colors, and any interactive features in the preview, since those are the areas where formats differ most.

Getting the best results

Clean input produces clean output. Start from the simplest version of the source that still renders correctly, keep explicit dimensions or a viewBox, and test the result where it will actually ship.

Privacy

Conversion runs locally in your browser. PNG to SVG never uploads your content to a server, which also makes it safe for confidential assets.

How to use

Choose PNG. Select a PNG file from your device.
Review trace. Wait for the browser to decode and trace the image, then inspect the SVG preview.
Download SVG. Download the generated vector file.
