Upload a PNG logo, icon or sticker. The AI traces every edge into smooth vector paths, so the SVG stays sharp on a website, a cutting machine or a billboard.

Each colour area of the PNG is redrawn as a filled path of lines and Bézier curves. There is no bitmap hidden in the file, so a PNG to SVG logo stays sharp from a favicon to a poster and can be selected shape by shape in an editor.
Empty pixels in a transparent PNG stay empty in the SVG. A solid white box can be dropped on the result page with the transparent-background switch, so a sticker or website header sits on any colour without a second trip through a mask tool.
The Standard style keeps every colour the AI finds. After the PNG to SVG preview appears you can cut the palette down, recolour one shape to match a brand, or switch to Cut-ready for Cricut without starting a new conversion.
The SVG is the file this page is for. The same 10 credits also write EPS and PDF for print, DXF and G-code for a laser, and a high-resolution PNG for mockups, so a second format never costs a second conversion.
A PNG is a raster file: a grid of coloured pixels, often with a transparent channel so a logo can sit on any background. SVG is a vector file. It stores shapes as coordinates and curves, not as a bitmap. A PNG to SVG conversion therefore has to redraw every edge.
Changing the extension, or wrapping the PNG inside an SVG with an image tag, keeps the pixels. Enlarge that file and the stairs come back; a cutter cannot follow it. Many free converters take exactly that shortcut, or follow every pixel with a single brightness threshold.
We run an AI tracer on the uploaded PNG, fit smooth curves to the colour areas, and write a standard SVG of filled paths. Transparent pixels stay empty. The watermarked preview is free; a clean PNG to SVG download costs 10 credits and includes EPS, PDF, DXF and PNG of the same trace.
The watermarked preview is free, so you can judge the AI trace before you spend a credit.
Drop a PNG into the box above, or paste it from the clipboard, up to 5 MB. JPG and WebP are accepted too. A check warns you if the file is tiny or blurry. Keep Standard when you want every colour; use Cut-ready when the job is vinyl.
In about 10 to 20 seconds the vector preview sits next to the PNG. Zoom in, drop the background, lower the colour count, or try Retry in HD when a small file looks soft. Switching style is free and does not start a new upload.
Press Download SVG (10 credits) after you sign in. The clean PNG to SVG file saves at once. EPS, PDF, DXF and the smaller web SVG of the same trace stay available at no extra cost. The watermarked PNG is always free.
The preview is the real trace, not a mock-up, so a bad PNG costs nothing. If the PNG to SVG result is wrong, change the style for free. Retry in HD costs 5 extra credits and upscales before a new trace. The clean download is 10 credits.
Threshold tracers copy the pixel grid, so circles gain facets and letters get jagged. The AI fits Bézier curves to the edges it finds, which keeps a badge round where it should be round and straight where it should be straight.
This page requires an upload. The PNG is sent to our server so the model can trace it. Files are stored privately and deleted after 24 hours. We are not a no-upload, browser-only tracer, and we do not keep files to train models.
Uploads and results are not published or shared. After 24 hours they are removed from storage. Convert only images you own or have permission to use, such as your own logo or a drawing you made.
This converter requires an upload; it is not a no-upload tool that stays in the tab. We do not wrap a PNG inside an SVG, convert an animated PNG into an animated SVG, or write native Adobe Illustrator documents — the .ai download is a PDF that Illustrator opens. Photos can be traced, but the result is a stylised poster, usually larger than the PNG. Text becomes outlines, not editable type. The watermarked preview is free; a clean PNG to SVG download costs 10 credits, from the $6.99 Starter Pack or a $9.99 monthly plan.
Drop the PNG above, wait 10 to 20 seconds for the AI to trace it, check the free watermarked preview, then press Download SVG. The file is made of vector paths, not the original pixels sitting inside an SVG tag.
The preview is free, and so is the watermarked PNG, so you can judge the trace before paying. The clean SVG costs 10 credits. The one-time Starter Pack is $6.99 for 250 credits. We do not offer unlimited free downloads.
Yes. Transparent pixels in the PNG stay empty in the SVG. If the source sits on a solid white box, turn Transparent background on in the result page so the background shape is dropped before you download.
It is a real vector. Every colour area is rewritten as a path. We do not embed the PNG as an image tag. If a converter gives you a huge SVG that still blurs when you zoom, that is usually a wrapper, not a trace.
Once traced, the SVG never blurs when you scale it, because it is curves rather than pixels. The trace follows the PNG, so a sharp logo converts cleanly and a tiny or noisy file gives softer shapes. Retry in HD helps small files.
Illustrator can place a PNG and run Image Trace, which needs a Creative Cloud subscription and some trial and error with presets. Here the PNG to SVG trace runs in the browser for 10 credits, and the SVG, EPS and AI files open straight in Illustrator.
Inkscape can import a PNG and trace it with Path > Trace Bitmap, but you tune thresholds by hand and edges often come out jagged. Our AI trace gives smoother curves in one step, and the SVG opens in Inkscape afterwards if you want to edit nodes.
They do different jobs. PNG is best when you need a pixel picture with transparency, such as a photo or a screenshot. SVG is better for logos, icons and flat artwork because it scales to any size and each shape can be recoloured. Convert when the file is a graphic, not a photograph.
Yes. Use the Cut-ready style so the PNG to SVG result has fewer, cleaner shapes, then download the SVG or the Cricut ZIP. Design Space reads the filled paths as layers you can ungroup, recolour and cut.
Yes, if the screenshot is a flat graphic: an icon, a diagram or a logo on a clean background. Crop first. A photo of a monitor at an angle traces glare and the bezel as extra shapes. Retry in HD if the crop is small.
No. This page requires an upload so the AI can trace the PNG on our server. Files are stored privately and deleted after 24 hours. Browser-only tracers exist; they stay on your device, and they usually follow pixels rather than fitting AI curves.
Yes. Drop up to 20 PNG files at once to preview each on one page, then unlock them together and download a ZIP of every SVG. Each image uses 10 credits. JPG and WebP can sit in the same batch.
Canva can export an SVG from a Canva design, but it does not trace a PNG you upload into real paths. Run the PNG to SVG conversion here, then upload the SVG into Canva if you still want to lay out a poster or a story around it.
Supported formats are PNG, JPG and WebP, up to 5 MB and 4,096 px on the longest side. Images of about 500 px or more give the cleanest PNG to SVG curves. Larger files are resized in the browser before upload.
