Convert PNG to SVG
Enconvert traces your PNG image and converts it into a scalable vector graphic. The vectorization process detects edges, shapes, and color boundaries to produce a resolution-independent SVG. Processing takes seconds for most images.

Why Convert PNG to SVG?
PNG is a lossless raster format that stores images as a grid of pixels at a fixed resolution. SVG is a vector format that defines images using mathematical shapes and paths. Converting PNG to SVG transforms a fixed-size image into one that scales to any dimension without losing quality.
Resolution independence. A PNG logo at 256x256 pixels becomes blurry when stretched to 2560x2560. The same logo as SVG renders perfectly sharp at any size — from a 16px favicon to a 10-foot banner. This is why SVG is the industry standard for logos, icons, and brand assets that must appear at multiple sizes.
Smaller file sizes for simple graphics. For images with flat colors, geometric shapes, and clean edges (logos, icons, diagrams), SVG files are dramatically smaller than PNG. A 100 KB PNG icon might be only 3 KB as SVG. This makes SVG ideal for web performance where every kilobyte of page weight matters.
Fully editable in design tools. In a PNG, all visual elements are merged into a flat pixel grid. In an SVG, each shape is a separate, editable object. You can select individual paths, change colors, resize elements, and rearrange layers in Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape, or any vector editor.
Web-native with CSS and JavaScript support. SVG can be embedded directly in HTML and styled with CSS — change colors on hover, animate paths, and create interactive graphics. This capability is not possible with raster formats like PNG or JPG.
When to keep PNG instead: PNG is better for photographs and images with complex textures, gradients, and millions of colors. Vectorization works best on images with clean edges, flat colors, and distinct shapes. For photographic content, PNG, JPG, or WebP remain the practical choices.
Enconvert performs automated image tracing server-side to produce clean SVG output. The free tier supports 100 conversions per month with no sign-up or credit card required.

Frequently Asked Questions
PNG images with clean edges, flat colors, and distinct shapes produce the best SVG results. Logos, icons, diagrams, line art, screenshots of UI elements, and illustrations are ideal candidates. Complex photographs with continuous gradients, fine textures, and millions of colors produce larger SVG files with approximated shapes — for those, keeping the original PNG is typically better.
Yes. SVG natively supports transparency. If your PNG has a transparent background, the SVG output preserves that transparency. The vectorized shapes sit on a transparent canvas by default, making the SVG suitable for use as an overlay or layered element in web pages and design tools.
Yes. The output is a standard SVG file with editable vector paths that opens natively in Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Sketch, and Affinity Designer. Individual shapes can be selected, recolored, resized, and modified independently. This makes PNG-to-SVG conversion a common first step in logo recreation and design asset preparation.
The free tier accepts PNG files up to 5 MB with 100 conversions per month — no sign-up or credit card required. The Starter plan ($19/mo) supports 2,000 conversions with 15 MB file limits, the Pro plan ($49/mo) supports 10,000 conversions with 50 MB limits, and the Business plan ($149/mo) supports 50,000 conversions with 150 MB limits.
Yes. The Enconvert API supports batch PNG-to-SVG conversion. This is commonly used by design teams converting sets of raster icons or logos to vector format for brand asset libraries. Send PNG files via the REST API and receive SVG output programmatically. Integration examples are available in Python, JavaScript, and cURL.
