How to convert PNG to SVG

  1. Add your PNG files

    Drag one or more PNG files onto the dashed area, or tap it to pick them from your device.

  2. Choose SVG and the options

    SVG is already selected; the options hold the settings that matter for this conversion.

  3. Convert and download

    Press “Convert to SVG”. When it’s done, download the files one by one or all together in a ZIP archive.

Good to know. Vectorisation works best with logos and drawings with few colours; with photos the result is heavier and stylised.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)

An SVG contains no pixels but drawing instructions: lines, curves, colours. That’s why it stays sharp at any size and is perfect for logos and icons. Many platforms, though, only accept raster images, and that’s when you need to convert it.

Best for
Logos, icons, flat illustrations, charts for the web.
Limits
Not suitable for photos; many social networks, marketplaces and office programs won’t upload it.

Questions about PNG and SVG

Are my PNG files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion from PNG to SVG happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
