PNG to SVG and SVG to PNG converter
Convert PNG to SVG in two ways: embed the image inside an SVG wrapper for instant results, or trace it into real vector paths that scale without losing quality. Tracing works best on logos, icons and flat artwork. Convert SVG to PNG to get a raster image for social media, documents or apps.
How to convert PNG to SVG
- Select PNG ⇄ SVG.
- Add your PNG and choose Embed or Trace to vector.
- Convert and download the SVG.
PNG vs SVG: raster and vector explained
PNG images are made of pixels, so they blur when enlarged. SVG images are made of shapes and paths, so they stay sharp at any size, from a favicon to a billboard. That makes SVG ideal for logos, icons and illustrations on websites, and it often produces smaller files for simple graphics.
Get the best vector trace
Start with a high-contrast PNG that has flat colors and a clean background. Photos and gradients produce large, noisy SVG files, so use tracing for logos, icons and line art.
Frequently asked questions
Is PNG to SVG a true vector conversion?
Only in Trace mode. Embed mode keeps your pixels inside an SVG file. Photos trace poorly; logos trace well.
What size is the PNG from an SVG?
It uses the SVG's own dimensions, or 1024 pixels if none are defined.
Can I edit the SVG afterward?
Yes. Traced SVG files open in Illustrator, Figma and Inkscape, where you can recolor and edit the paths.
Why is my SVG file large?
Photos and gradients create many paths. Use simple, high-contrast artwork for the smallest files.
