Image to SVG

Turn black-and-white PNG or JPG clipart into real vector SVG paths. Set the artwork’s width and height in millimetres, preserve its proportions or stretch it to fit, then download your SVG. Images stay on your device.

Which images work?

Upload black-and-white clipart, a logo, silhouette, or line drawing. Colour images and regular photographs are not supported. White and transparent backgrounds become empty space, with holes inside shapes preserved. Minor gray edge pixels from anti-aliasing or JPEG compression are allowed.

Automated photo detection is imperfect. Grayscale photographs and artwork with broad gray shading may be rejected; some high-contrast or thresholded photos may pass. Choose solid black artwork on a clean white or transparent background and inspect the SVG preview. Files must be PNG or JPEG, up to 10 MB and 16 megapixels, with no side over 8192 pixels.

Physical size, without blank margins

The exported SVG has explicit width and height in millimetres, measured around the traced artwork rather than its original image margins. Keep proportions is enabled by default. Turn it off to use both dimensions exactly; the artwork may stretch. Each dimension must be 0.1–2000 mm. Use actual size / 100% when importing or printing.

This tool creates a flat SVG, not a 3D model or STL. Tracing approximates edges and can simplify fine details. Large images are reduced to 1400 pixels on their longest side for tracing. For printable lamp parts, import the downloaded SVG into our Shadow Lamp Designer.
