PNG to SVG converter.

Turn PNG files into editable vector paths. Flat colors and hard edges trace cleanly; transparent areas are flattened onto white before tracing.

Applies to images you add next — each one traces as it lands.

The SVG download is free — no account needed.

Transparent areas become white shapes, and larger images are scaled down to about 0.6 megapixels before tracing.

Your image is uploaded to pic2svg's own server to be traced. What we keep, and for how long

Other formats, plans and licences

PDF, EPS, AI (EPS-based) and DXF come with a paid plan, and every new account gets 7 days of Pro free. The free plan and Starter carry a personal-use licence; commercial use needs Pro, and resale needs Advanced — see the licence row on the pricing page.

A transparent PNG, before and after

Flat logo on a transparent background

Input
Input PNG with an alpha channel: a teal ring with a see-through center and a coral paper plane crossing it, on a transparent background
Traced SVG
Traced SVG of the logo: the ring and paper plane are filled paths, and the background and the ring's center are now solid white
PNG, 320 × 320 px → SVG, 6.1 KB, 7 shapesTransparency is flattened onto white before tracing, so the background and the ring's center come back as white shapes, not see-through areas.

PNG to SVG questions

Will pic2svg preserve my PNG’s transparent background?
No. This converter flattens transparency onto white before tracing. SVG as a format supports transparency, but this output does not preserve the source PNG’s alpha. Inspect the result for unwanted background shapes in a vector editor, or keep the original PNG when preserving the cut-out matters.
Will PNG to SVG work for photographs?
It can trace photographic content, but SVG is best for logos, icons and artwork with clear shapes rather than continuous photos.
Why is the vector different from the PNG?
The converter reduces repeated pixels into editable color regions. Balanced, the default, keeps the most color layers; Compact merges similar colors into fewer layers, which on photos usually means a smaller file.
Can I edit the SVG after conversion?
Yes. The result is built from vector paths and can be opened in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape or another editor. If your printer asks for EPS, see image to EPS for export and verification.
