Raster image vector tracing

Trace image pixel runs as genuine SVG vector paths.

Local processing · Nothing is uploaded · 20 MB / 4 megapixel limit

Input & settings

No image selected

Drop a still image or choose a file.

No extra settings are needed for this conversion.

Result

Open an image to begin.

How to use

Choose a small image, then download an SVG composed of colored paths. No raster image is embedded.

Limits and behavior

Exact pixel-run tracing for pixel art and small graphics, not smooth curve fitting. At most 262,144 input pixels and 3 MB SVG output. Still PNG, JPEG and WebP only; 20 MB, 4 megapixels and 4,096 pixels per side. Processing stays on your device. Exports apply orientation and discard source metadata. PNG output preserves transparency unless the selected operation composites it.

Trace raster pixels into SVG paths

Convert runs of pixels in an image into vector geometry for basic artwork tracing and experimentation.

Will pixel tracing reproduce smooth professional illustration paths?

Not necessarily. Pixel-run tracing may create a complex SVG and is not the same as artist-drawn vector simplification.
