What's the difference between PNG to SVG and just renaming the file?
Renaming a .png to .svg doesn't change anything — PNG is a grid of pixels, SVG is a description of shapes. This converter traces the actual outlines in your image and outputs real vector paths, so the result scales to any size without blurring. The output file is a genuine SVG that any design tool (Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape) can edit.
Will this work for photographs?
Not well. The tool is built for logos, icons, and flat-color illustrations. Photos have continuous tones that don't translate cleanly into vector shapes — you'll get a poster-style approximation, not a faithful copy. If you need a vector version of a photo for stylistic reasons, set Mode to "Color" and try the "Detailed" preset, but expect a heavily stylized result.
Why is my converted SVG black instead of the original color?
If you used the "Black & White" mode, the converter samples the most common opaque color from your image and applies it as the SVG fill. A pure-black logo stays black; a white logo stays white. If you wanted multiple colors preserved, switch Mode to "Color" — that route uses a different engine (vtracer) that quantizes and traces each color region separately.
What file types can I upload?
PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. Upload limit is 30 MB. Animated GIFs are flattened to the first frame. SVG input is rejected (it's already vector). PDF isn't supported — export the relevant page to PNG first.
Is anything stored on the server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in memory; nothing is written to disk except a temporary file in RAM-backed storage that's deleted as soon as the trace finishes. There are no accounts, no history, no logs of file contents. Refreshing the page wipes your result, so download the SVG if you want to keep it.
Why does the output look slightly different from the input?
Two reasons. First, very large images are downscaled to 2048 pixels on the longest side before tracing — anything bigger doesn't add useful detail and makes the conversion slow. Second, tracing always involves some approximation: edges get smoothed or sharpened depending on which "Detail" preset you picked. "Clean" preserves sharp corners for icons. "Detailed" smooths curves for more nuanced shapes. Try both presets on your image and download whichever looks closer to what you want.
