PNG to SVG
Vectorize a PNG into clean SVG paths.
Vectorize a PNG into clean SVG paths.
PNG to SVG traces a PNG into vector paths with potrace on our server and returns an SVG in one colour (black shapes on a clear background). It works well for simple logos, signatures and icons; photos and multi-colour artwork will not come out the way they look.
Raster images are made of pixels and blur when you enlarge them. Vector files describe shapes, so they stay sharp at any size, which is what sign makers, embroidery and laser-cutting services and printers often ask for. Converting from pixels to shapes is called tracing, and it is always an approximation of the original.
Here is exactly what happens: ImageMagick removes transparency (see-through areas become white), then turns every pixel either black or white at a 50% brightness threshold. potrace draws smooth curves around the black regions and writes them as an SVG. Colours, shading and gradients are therefore not kept. The PNG goes to our server over HTTPS and is deleted along with the working files once the SVG is returned.
Prepare a clean PNG
Dark artwork on a light or transparent background gives the cleanest outline; crop away anything you do not want traced.
Upload and run
Choose the PNG (up to 100 MB) and press Run; potrace usually needs only a few seconds.
Check the preview
Thin lines and small text can merge or vanish, so zoom in on the result.
Download the SVG
Open it in Inkscape, Illustrator, Figma or Canva to recolour or scale it.
সাদা-কালো লোগো, সই বা আইকনের PNG ছবিকে স্কেল করা যায় এমন SVG ভেক্টরে রূপান্তর করে এই টুল। আমাদের সার্ভারে potrace দিয়ে ছবির কালো অংশের চারপাশে রেখা টেনে পাথ বানানো হয়, তাই ফলাফল এক রঙের হয়; রঙিন ছবি বা ফটো ঠিকমতো আসে না। ব্যানার, রাবার স্ট্যাম্প বা স্টিকার কাটার জন্য লোগোর ভেক্টর দরকার হলে এটা কাজে লাগে। কাজ শেষে ফাইল সার্ভার থেকে মুছে ফেলা হয়।
না, শুধু কালো আকৃতি আসে। পরে ভেক্টর এডিটরে রং বদলাতে পারবেন।
হালকা রঙের অংশ সাদা ধরা হয়, তাই ট্রেস হয় না। গাঢ় করে আবার চেষ্টা করুন।
No. The tracer only sees black and white, so the SVG is a single-colour silhouette. You can recolour the shapes afterwards in a vector editor, but separate colour areas are not traced individually.
Pixels lighter than 50% brightness become white and are not traced. Yellow, light grey or pastel parts often vanish. Darken those areas or convert the PNG to black and white yourself before uploading.
Yes, the SVG contains true path outlines that scale without blurring. It is a tracing, though, so curves and corners are approximations of the pixels you supplied.
Before tracing it is treated as white, so it stays empty. The SVG itself has no background, only the black shapes.
Our server does. The PNG arrives over HTTPS, ImageMagick and potrace process it in a temporary directory, and that directory is deleted after the SVG is returned.
Use the largest version of the image you have, with strong contrast and no shadows. A 1000-pixel-wide logo traces far more cleanly than a 100-pixel icon.
