About JPG to SVG

JPG to SVG turns a photo or a scanned drawing into vector art made of shapes. Photograph a hand-drawn sketch or a signature on paper, and the trace gives you clean outlines you can color, resize or send to a cutting machine. A photo becomes a stylized, poster-like version of itself. Logos and icons saved as PNG go through PNG to SVG instead.

Black & white is the best fit for sketches, handwriting and stamps, because it produces one crisp silhouette and ignores paper texture. Full color keeps the main color areas of a photo or illustration. Detail sets how many small shapes survive; lower it when JPG noise or paper grain turns into specks. JPG compression softens edges slightly, so the sharpest, largest original gives the cleanest result.

FAQ

JPG to SVG: questions and answers

Will JPG to SVG give me a photo-quality vector?
No. Tracing turns areas of similar color into flat shapes, so a photo ends up looking like a poster or illustration. That's ideal for artwork, less so for realistic pictures.
How do I vectorize a hand drawing with JPG to SVG?
Take a sharp, evenly lit photo or scan of the drawing, upload it and choose Black & white. If paper texture shows up as specks, lower Detail and convert again. A photo taken on an iPhone may be HEIC, which HEIC to JPG converts before you upload it here.
Can I use the SVG with a cutting machine?
Yes, as long as your cutting software imports SVG. Black & white traces with few shapes are usually the easiest to cut.
Is there a limit on free JPG to SVG conversions?
Free accounts can convert 2 images a day, up to 50 MB each; without an account you get 2 in total. VIP removes the daily cap.
What happens to my photo?
It's sent over an encrypted connection, traced in a process of its own and removed automatically after one hour. We never share uploads with anyone or use them to train AI.
