PNG vs SVG — Raster vs Vector
PNG stores pixels on a fixed grid — zoom in and you see pixelation. SVG stores mathematical shape descriptions that scale to any size with perfectly sharp edges. Converting PNG to SVG (vectorization) works best for logos, icons, and flat-color graphics.
How to Convert PNG to SVG
- Go to the PNG to SVG converter.
- Upload your PNG — ideally a clean logo or icon on a white or transparent background.
- Click Convert — the tool traces the image and outputs an SVG file.
- Download the SVG and open in Inkscape, Illustrator, or a web browser to verify.
Tips for Best Results
- Use a high-resolution PNG (500px+ is ideal).
- Clean backgrounds (white or transparent) give the cleanest trace.
- Simple colors (2-5 flat colors) trace much better than photos or gradients.
- Refine in Inkscape (free) after auto-tracing.
