How do I convert a PNG image to SVG?

Start by selecting or dragging your PNG file into the converter. Adjust the tracing sensitivity to separate color regions accurately, then click 'Convert'. Your new SVG will be ready for download within seconds.

Why would I convert a PNG to SVG?

PNG is a raster format with fixed pixel dimensions, so it becomes blurry when scaled up. SVG, being vector-based, scales to any size with crystal-clear edges. This makes SVG ideal for logos, UI icons, and responsive web design. It also allows for smaller file sizes in many cases, especially for simple graphics.

How does PNG to SVG conversion handle transparency and color accuracy?

The converter preserves the alpha channel, so transparent backgrounds stay transparent. It traces the PNG into discrete vector shapes, using the original color values for fills. For images with gradients, the tool may approximate them with multiple paths or SVG gradients, which could slightly alter the exact color transition. Photorealistic images are generally not ideal for vectorization.
