Is PNG transparency preserved in the SVG?

Not currently. The tracing process flattens transparency before generating SVG paths. Prepare the PNG against the background you want before converting.

Do I get real vector paths from my PNG?

Yes. The converter traces PNG pixels into real, editable SVG paths rather than embedding the bitmap inside an SVG wrapper.

What is the best color setting for flat icons?

Start at 4 to 8 colors. Flat icons usually use a small palette anyway, and a low color count produces clean, even fills with the smallest file size. Increase the count only if your icon uses gradients.

Can I convert PNG screenshots?

Yes. Use High density mode with 64 colors so interface text stays readable. Simple and Standard modes cap the output resolution, which can soften small text in dense screenshots.

Will the SVG be smaller than my PNG?

It depends on the mode. Simple and Standard cap the embedded resolution and often produce lighter files than the original PNG. High density keeps the full original detail, so the SVG is roughly the original size plus a small amount of markup.

Do my PNG files ever leave my control?

Image contents are sent to the conversion service, processed temporarily, and discarded afterward. They are not added to a permanent image library or reused. A Google sign-in is required.

How it works

How do you convert an image to SVG?

01
Drop in your PNGs
Add icons, exported UI graphics, logos, or illustrations and manage the complete PNG batch in one place.
Turn a folder of PNG icons into SVGs for a scalable icon system.
02
Match the palette to the artwork
Flat icons look crispest at 4 to 8 colors; illustrations with gradients keep their depth at 32 or more.
Convert PNG logos into vector files for retina-ready site headers.
03
Ship crisp vectors
Check each SVG in the preview, then download individually or grab the full set as a ZIP for your icon library.
Package UI illustrations as SVGs so they stay sharp at any zoom level.

Format guide

Why convert PNG to SVG?

PNG is lossless and supports full transparency, which makes it the default export for icons and UI graphics. But it is still a raster format: a 24-pixel icon that looks perfect at 100% turns fuzzy on a retina display or when a design system scales it up. Teams end up exporting @2x and @3x copies of every asset just to keep edges clean.

An SVG replaces that whole stack with one file that renders sharply at every size and pixel density. This converter traces the visible PNG artwork into vector paths. Because tracing currently flattens transparency, prepare the source against the background you want before converting.

Flat icons, badges, and simple illustrations convert best: their limited palettes map cleanly onto 4 to 8 colors for a crisp, graphic result. Screenshots and photo-heavy PNGs are better served by High density mode with a full 64-color palette so text and fine detail stay legible.

“SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML. SVG allows for three types of graphic objects: vector graphic shapes (e.g., paths consisting of straight lines and curves), images and text.”

PNG workflow

Built for icon sets and UI exports.

Take a folder of PNG exports through a single pass: one batch, one palette decision, and artwork that stays sharp at every pixel density.

Whole icon folders at once
Load an entire PNG export directory — 10 files on the free plan, 50 on a paid one — and work the set from a single list.
Retires @2x and @3x exports
One SVG replaces the stack of density variants a design system currently keeps for every raster asset.
Editable shapes, not a wrapper
PNG pixels are traced into real vector paths you can recolor, reshape, or split apart in any editor.
Palettes tuned to flat art
4 to 8 colors keeps flat icons crisp. Screenshots and gradient illustrations hold their detail at 64 in High density.
Sources dropped after tracing
PNG contents are processed for the conversion and discarded. They are not stored in a library or reused.

Before you convert

What a PNG trace will and won't do.

Transparency is flattened
Tracing currently drops the alpha channel, so prepare the PNG against its intended background first. Better said here than discovered after the download.
Preview before you commit
Every traced icon can be inspected at full size and re-run on its own before anything is exported.
Limits stated before checkout
Batch counts, file-size ceilings, dimension caps, and quotas are all published on the pricing page.
