Image to Vector Converter — Turn a JPG or PNG into Editable Curves
Got a logo that only exists as a low-resolution JPG? Upload it and get back a real vector file — SVG, AI, EPS or CDR — with every shape individually editable.
Vectors have no resolution. The same file prints on a business card and on a billboard, and stays perfectly sharp on both.

Vectorization Settings
Controls how your image is converted to vectors
Better source = better vectors
Upscales your image before vectorization for sharper, cleaner results. Takes a few extra minutes.
Image Type
Output Detail
Auto = smooth curves with fewer nodes. High = more detail, more nodes.
Color Count
Fewer colors = fewer objects. Best for logos. Auto lets the engine decide.
Remove Background
Auto-detect and remove background color
Black & White Mode
Ideal for stamps, signatures, ink drawings
Quick answer
How to convert an image to vector
Upload your image above, choose an output format, pick the tracing mode that matches your artwork, and convert. Use Logo for a clean two- or three-colour mark, Detailed when fine elements matter.
Four tracing modes, because one setting cannot fit every image
The difference between a usable trace and a mess of a thousand tiny shapes is almost always the mode. Pick the one that matches what you actually uploaded.
Logo mode
Merges similar colours hard and keeps the object count low. The right choice for a flat brand mark, a stamp or a signature — the output is small, tidy and easy to edit by hand afterwards.
Detailed mode
Keeps fine elements and soft colour transitions that Logo mode would flatten. Use it for emblems with thin linework, crests, or logos that contain a gradient.
Clipart mode
Tuned for flat illustrations built from solid colour areas with clean edges — sticker art, mascots, cartoon graphics, most downloaded clipart.
Photo mode
Handles continuous-tone images by building up stacked colour regions. The result is a stylised, poster-like vector — ideal for screen printing, vinyl cutting and T-shirt work.
The detail slider then controls node count. Lower means smoother curves that are pleasant to edit; higher tracks the original more literally. For anything going to a cutting plotter, keep it low — every extra node is another instruction the machine has to follow.
What you get, honestly
Vectorizes well
- Logos and brand marks
- Icons, symbols and pictograms
- Line art, sketches and inked drawings
- Clipart and flat illustrations
- Signatures, stamps and seals
- Scanned artwork, if the scan is clean
Expect compromises
- Photographs become stylised, not photorealistic
- Text is traced into shapes, not editable type
- JPEG compression artefacts get traced too — start with the cleanest copy you have
- Soft shadows and blur become stepped colour bands
- Very low-resolution sources give rough edges
Which output format should you pick?
| Format | Choose it when |
|---|---|
| SVG | The artwork is going on a website, into an app, or into Figma. Also the most portable option — every design program reads it. |
| AI | You or your client work in Adobe Illustrator and want to keep editing there. |
| EPS | A commercial printer, embroidery digitiser or sign shop asked for vector artwork. EPS is still the safest thing to send them. |
| CDR | The job is being laid out in CorelDRAW. Pick your exact CorelDRAW version so the file opens without a version error. |
Frequently asked questions
A JPG or PNG is a grid of pixels, so enlarging it makes it blurry. Vectorizing redraws the artwork as mathematical curves, which have no fixed size — the result stays razor sharp whether it is printed on a business card or a building-sized banner.
SVG for the web, AI for Adobe Illustrator, EPS for print workflows, and CDR for CorelDRAW. All four are true vector files with individually editable shapes.
Logos, icons, line art, clipart, stamps, signatures and scanned drawings vectorize extremely well. Flat areas of colour with clean edges are ideal. The higher the resolution of what you upload, the cleaner the traced result.
You can, using the Photo mode, and it produces a stylised poster-like result that is genuinely useful for screen printing and vinyl cutting. It will not look identical to the photo — no vectorizer can do that, because photographs have no hard edges to trace.
No, and that is expected. Text in an uploaded image is made of pixels like everything else, so it is traced into outlined shapes. Those shapes look identical and print perfectly, but they cannot be retyped. If you need editable type, retype it in your design program over the traced artwork.
Logo merges colours aggressively for the cleanest, smallest result. Detailed keeps fine elements and gradients. Clipart suits flat illustrations with solid colour areas. Photo handles continuous-tone images. The detail slider then controls how many nodes are used — fewer nodes are easier to edit, more nodes track the original more closely.
Yes. 10 conversions a day at up to 150 MB per file, no account required. Pro removes the daily limit and raises the cap to 500 MB.
Uploads are encrypted in transit, processed in an isolated environment, and deleted automatically after 3 hours. Your artwork is never reused or shared.
