SVG vectors are made of paths, so they stay sharp at any size — ideal for logos, icons, print, laser cutting and embroidery. This tool reduces the image to a chosen number of colours, then traces smooth paths along the edges of each colour region to produce a standard SVG. Line art turns sketches and signatures into clean two-colour vectors; Logo / icon keeps sharp corners; Illustration and Photo use more colours with pre-smoothing. Adjust the colour count, remove small specks, smooth the curves or drop the white background for a transparent SVG. A side-by-side preview updates live, and tracing runs in a background thread so the page stays responsive.

## FAQ

### Which images convert best?

Images with few colours and clear edges — logos, icons, flat illustrations, signatures and line drawings. Photos work too but create many paths, large files and a posterised look.

### Can I edit the SVG in Illustrator or Figma?

Yes. The output is standard SVG with one path per colour region, so you can open it in Illustrator, Figma or Inkscape to recolour and edit nodes.

### What about very large images?

For speed, images longer than 1600 px are scaled down before tracing; the SVG keeps the original dimensions, which rarely matters for vectors.

### Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.
