Vectorize raster images to SVG format using the Potrace algorithm
About Image to SVG
Regular photos and screenshots are made of pixels, so they blur when enlarged. Vectorizing an image to SVG redraws it as scalable shapes and paths, letting it stay razor-sharp at any size, from a tiny icon to a giant banner.
Upload a PNG or JPG and the Potrace algorithm traces it into a clean SVG. This works best on logos, icons and simple high-contrast graphics rather than detailed photos. It all happens in your browser without signup, and your image is discarded as soon as the SVG is created.
Common uses
- Turning a raster logo into an infinitely scalable vector
- Preparing simple graphics for large-format printing
- Creating crisp SVG icons from flat designs
- Recovering an editable vector from a flat image export

FAQ
What kind of images vectorize best?
Simple, high-contrast images like logos, icons and line art work best. Detailed photos don't trace cleanly into vectors.
How does the conversion work?
It uses the Potrace algorithm to trace the shapes in your image and rebuild them as smooth vector paths.
Will the SVG look exactly like the original?
For simple graphics it can be very close, but tracing simplifies fine detail, so complex images won't reproduce perfectly.
What is vectorization?
Vectorization converts a raster (pixel-based) image to a vector (SVG) format that is resolution-independent and infinitely scalable without quality loss.
What images work best for vectorization?
Images with clear outlines and limited colours (logos, icons, illustrations) give the best results. Detailed photographs will produce complex, large SVG files.
Can I adjust the quality of the vectorization?
Yes — the "Colours" slider controls how many distinct colour regions are traced. More colours = more detail but larger SVG file size.
Is the SVG editable in design tools?
Yes — the generated SVG can be opened in Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape, or any SVG editor for further editing.
Can I use Image to SVG on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
