Free Image to SVG Converter — Trace & Vectorise Any Image

Convert raster images to scalable vector graphics (SVG) by tracing their shapes, edges, and colours. Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, or GIF, and FileConvertTool generates a clean SVG vector file — completely free, no signup required.

How to Trace an Image to SVG

Upload your image — Drag and drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, or GIF file. For best results, use high-contrast images with clean edges.

The algorithm traces your image — Edge detection identifies boundaries, then converts them to mathematical curves (Bézier paths).

Download SVG — Save your vector file. Open in Inkscape, Illustrator, Figma, or use directly on the web.

What Traces Well (and What Doesn't)

Excellent results: Logos with solid colours, icons, line art, illustrations, text/typography, silhouettes, QR codes.

Poor results: Photographs (complex scenes produce oversized SVGs), watercolour artwork, very low-resolution source images.

Rule of thumb: If the image has fewer than 10-15 distinct colours and clear shape boundaries, it traces well. If it looks like a photograph, keep it as JPG or WebP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert any image to SVG?

You can convert any raster image, but results vary. Simple graphics with solid colours trace beautifully. Photographs produce bloated files — keep those as JPG or WebP.

Is the SVG trace free?

Yes. Completely free with no registration required. Upload and download instantly.

How do I edit an SVG after tracing?

Open in Inkscape (free), Adobe Illustrator, Figma, or Affinity Designer. SVG files are also editable in any text editor since they are XML code.

What is the difference between converting and tracing?

Simple conversion embeds the raster image inside an SVG container. True tracing generates mathematical vector paths that scale infinitely. FileConvertTool performs genuine vector tracing.

What resolution should my source image be?

Aim for at least 500×500 pixels. Very small images produce rough traces because there is insufficient detail.
