JPG to SVG Converter

Turn JPG logos, scans and drawings into real vector SVGs with smooth, editable shapes - and leave the white background out. Need a transparent PNG instead? JPG to PNG.

How to convert JPG to SVG

  1. Add your JPG files. Drop up to 20 files into the box, or browse for them. They are traced in your browser - nothing is uploaded.
  2. Pick a preset. Logo for flat graphics, Illustration for colourful art, Black and white for line art and text. The preview shows the real SVG.
  3. Fine-tune. Change the number of colours, detail and smoothing, or remove the background colour. Fewer colours give cleaner, smaller SVGs.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to SVG. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP with a README.

Want to tweak colours or delete a shape afterwards? Open the SVG in the SVG Icon Editor.

Why convert JPG to SVG?

Logos often only exist as a JPG from an email or a website - blurry when enlarged, with a white box around them.

Tracing turns it into a clean SVG: sharp at any size, with the white background gone.

Perfect for printing, embroidery, vinyl cutting, signs and redrawing a logo.

Which settings for which image?

Your imageGood settings
Logo, icon, flat graphicLogo preset - 4-8 colours, Remove background
Cartoon, illustration, stickerIllustration preset - 16-32 colours, High detail
Signature, line art, text, stencilBlack and white, Light smoothing
PhotoWorks, but looks posterised - keep 16-32 colours or use Embedded PNG

Need it the other way round? SVG to PNG draws an SVG at any size. Making a website icon? SVG to ICO.

Real tracing, not a wrapper

Many "converters" just wrap your picture inside an SVG file - it still blurs when you scale it.

This tool really traces it: the colours are reduced to a palette and every colour area is turned into smooth curves, one editable path per colour.

Prefer the exact pixels? Pick Embedded PNG - and for tiny pixel art, Pixel vector.

Tips

  • Always add smoothing for JPGs - Light or Medium removes the blocky compression noise before tracing.
  • Logos: start with 4-8 colours and Remove background - fewer colours, cleaner curves.
  • Speckles or rough edges? Add Light smoothing or pick Low detail.
  • Scanned signature or drawing? Black and white, then move the threshold until the lines look right.
