How to Turn a PNG into a Vector SVG

To turn a PNG into a vector SVG, upload the image to the PNG-to-SVG tracer, adjust the smoothing slider, preview the result beside your original, and download the SVG. Tracing rebuilds the picture as vector paths that scale to any size, and it works best on logos, icons, and simple high-contrast shapes.

Tracing is not magic vectorisation. It reads the pixels and interpolates vector paths, so the cleanest results come from simple, high-contrast artwork: logos, icons, line drawings, and diagrams. Photographs and busy interface screenshots do not trace cleanly - the smoothing slider trades detail for fewer, tidier curves, but a complex image still turns into a noisy tangle of paths and a large file. If you need a genuinely editable logo, start from its original vector source in Illustrator, Figma, or Inkscape rather than tracing a flattened PNG export. Raising the smoothing value, or shrinking the input first, keeps the SVG lighter when you do trace.
