Welcome to the PNG to SVG Converter! This tool helps you transform your raster images (like PNGs, JPEGs, etc.) into Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGs). SVGs are great because they can be scaled to any size without losing quality, making them perfect for logos, icons, and web graphics.
How to Use the Tool: A Quick Walkthrough
Upload Your Image:
Drag and drop your image file (PNG, JPEG, BMP, or WebP) directly onto the "Upload Image" area.
Alternatively, click inside the upload area to open your file browser and select an image.
You'll see a preview of your original uploaded image.
Adjust Conversion Settings (Section 2: SVG Preview & Conversion Settings):
- Live Preview: Once you convert an image, this area will show you what your SVG looks like.
- Zoom Controls: Use the "Zoom" slider below the preview to get a closer look at your SVG.
- Conversion Options:
- Number of Colors: Controls how many colors the final SVG will have.
- Line Threshold (ltres): Affects the accuracy of straight lines.
- Curve Threshold (qtres): Influences the smoothness and detail of curves.
- Min Path Size (pathomit): Helps remove tiny, unwanted specks or "noise."
- SVG Fill Color: Choose a color to apply uniformly to all paths in the generated SVG.
- Action Buttons:
- Click the "Convert to SVG" button to process your image with the current settings. The live preview and SVG code will update.
- Undo/Redo: Step backward or forward through recent setting adjustments (up to 7 steps).
- Reset Settings: Reverts all options to default. Your uploaded image will remain.
Download Your SVG & Access Code (Section 3: Download & SVG Code):
- Filename: Enter a custom name for your downloaded file.
- Download .SVG: Save the generated vector graphic.
- Download .ZIP: Get a .zip containing your .svg file.
- Full SVG Code: View and copy the complete SVG code.
- Extracted <path> Data: Shows only the <path> elements.
- Copy Buttons: For quick copying of SVG code or path data.
Tips for Best Conversion Results
Start with a Good Quality Image:
- Clarity is Key: Well-defined edges and distinct colors work best.
- Simple is Often Better: Logos, icons, flat illustrations, and line art are ideal.
- Avoid Overly Complex Images: Photos result in large, slow-to-render SVGs.
- High Contrast: Good contrast helps with accurate tracing.
Understanding and Using the Settings:
Number of Colors:
Fewer Colors (2-8): Simpler SVGs, smaller size, stylized look.
More Colors (16-64+): Captures more detail, larger file size.
Tip: Match the number to your image’s actual color count.
Line Threshold (ltres - Lower is More Detail):
Controls how closely the tracer follows straight lines.
Lower = more detail, higher = smoother but may lose detail.
Curve Threshold (qtres - Lower is More Detail):
Determines curve accuracy.
Lower = captures intricate curves, higher = smoother, simpler paths.
Min Path Size (pathomit - Higher Removes More):
Removes small specks based on pixel area.
Higher = cleaner output, lower = preserves tiny details.
SVG Fill Color:
Overrides detected colors with a uniform fill color. Great for monochrome SVGs.
The Iterative Approach - Experiment!
Don’t expect perfection on the first try. Use default settings, convert, inspect the preview, tweak settings one at a time, and re-convert. Undo changes if needed.
Recommended Settings (Starting Points)
For Simple Logos & Icons (Few, Distinct Colors):
- Number of Colors: 2-8
- Line Threshold (ltres): 0.5 to 1
- Curve Threshold (qtres): 0.5 to 1
- Min Path Size (pathomit): 5 to 15
- SVG Fill Color: Optional, for single-color output
For Illustrations with Some Detail:
- Number of Colors: 16 to 32+
- Line Threshold (ltres): 0.2 to 1
- Curve Threshold (qtres): 0.2 to 1
- Min Path Size (pathomit): 1 to 8
General Purpose / Starting Default:
- Number of Colors: 16
- Line Threshold (ltres): 1
- Curve Threshold (qtres): 1
- Min Path Size (pathomit): 8
- SVG Fill Color: #000000 (Black)
Remember: The goal of vectorization is often to simplify and make an image scalable, not to exactly match every pixel. Adjust settings to find the right balance of detail and simplicity.
