Image to SVG Converter
Convert PNG, JPG, and WebP images into clean, resolution-independent SVG vector graphics. 100% WebAssembly in your browser - private, instant, and free standard SVG exports.
How Image to SVG Vectorization Works
Raster images (such as photos, screenshots, and scanned artwork) store visual data as a grid of colored pixels. When magnified or prepared for large-scale printing, the pixels stretch, creating visible blockiness and blurring.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) replaces pixel matrices with mathematical Bézier curves and polygon paths. Pic2Vector's Rust-powered vectorizer analyzes pixel contrast gradients, segments distinct color clusters, and fits smooth parametric spline curves to color boundaries. Through integrated Douglas-Peucker path simplification, extraneous nodes are eliminated, producing compact, clean vector files.
Stacked Hierarchical Layer Architecture
Traditional vectorizers often produce adjacent non-overlapping path tiles that create unsightly microscopic "hairline gaps" when rendered by browser SVG engines.
Pic2Vector uses a stacked hierarchical layer structure, tracing background color plates continuously beneath foreground details. This guarantees seamless rendering without stitching gaps, whether displayed in Safari, Chrome, or printed on high-resolution vinyl cutters.

Frequently asked questions
How does image to SVG vectorization work?
Image to SVG vectorization converts a grid of discrete pixels into continuous mathematical curves (Bézier splines). The engine detects color contours, segments them into layered polygons, and simplifies control points using Douglas-Peucker algorithms.
What image formats can be converted to SVG?
Pic2Vector supports all browser-decodable raster formats including PNG (with transparency), JPG/JPEG, WebP, GIF, and AVIF.
Is my image uploaded to any server?
No. Pic2Vector runs 100% locally in your web browser using a Rust tracing engine compiled to WebAssembly. Your graphics never touch external servers or third-party APIs.
Can I edit the exported SVG in Figma or Illustrator?
Yes. The generated SVG uses clean, layered path groupings organized by color, allowing you to hide, recolor, scale, and manipulate anchors directly in vector design software.
