PNG to SVG
PNG to SVG tracer
Drop a PNG and this page traces it into an SVG built from filled rectangles - pixel colors merged into flat shapes, merged into larger rects where they touch. No library, no server, no upload. Honest limits: this is a pixel-approximation tracer, not a smooth curve tracer like Potrace - photos become huge blocky files, text turns into colored rectangles, smooth gradients go blocky, and semi-transparent pixels are snapped to fully opaque or transparent.
Traced SVG preview
- The SVG is built from filled rectangles that follow the PNG pixels - it is a pixel approximation, not smooth curves like a true tracer (Potrace) produces.
- Flat logos, icons and screenshots trace cleanly; photos and gradients become huge, blocky files.
- Fewer colors means a smaller file; 2-4 colors suits simple icons, 32-64 keeps more detail at a bigger size.
- The background-removal option drops pixels matching the top-left corner color so the traced shapes sit on any page background.
- Semi-transparent pixels are snapped to fully transparent or opaque - SVG rects in this output have no partial alpha.
- The traced SVG renders at the original pixel size - scale it freely, it never gets blurry.
- Your PNG is read and traced inside this page - it is never uploaded to a server.
- Text in the PNG becomes colored rectangles - it will not be selectable or editable inside the SVG.
- Very large photos hit the megapixel and rectangle caps because tracing them would freeze this page for minutes.
- Thin 1-pixel lines can vanish at low color counts - raise the colors if edges disappear.
- Check the preview and file size before downloading: if the SVG is larger than the PNG, the image was not flat enough to trace.
