Convert PNG to SVG

Traces a bitmap into vector paths, which works well for logos, icons and line art.

What to expect

This is tracing, not recovery. Photographs produce enormous files of meaningless shapes. Use it on flat-colour graphics only.

Why convert PNG without uploading

Most online converters take your file, send it to their servers, convert it there and hand back a download link. That means your document sits on someone else's disk, subject to their retention policy and their breaches. It also means you cannot use them offline, and cannot use them at all for anything confidential.

frogConvert does the conversion in the page itself, with ImageTracer. There is no upload step because there is no server. You can disconnect from the network and it still works.

About the formats

PNG

Lossless compression with full alpha transparency, ideal for screenshots, logos and line art. Photographs stored as PNG are typically several times larger than the equivalent JPEG. More about PNG files.

SVG

Vector graphics described as XML, so shapes scale to any size without softening. It stores drawing instructions rather than pixels, which is why photographs do not belong in it. More about SVG files.

Common questions

Is my file uploaded when converting PNG to SVG?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device, there is no server to upload to, and the page works offline once loaded.

Is PNG to SVG conversion free?

Yes, with no account, no watermark and no file limit per day. frogConvert is open source and there is no server cost to recover, because your device does the work.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 2 GB for a single file, 500 MB total per batch, and 300 files at once. The practical limit is your device's memory, since everything is processed locally.

What is lost converting PNG to SVG?

This is tracing, not recovery. Photographs produce enormous files of meaningless shapes. Use it on flat-colour graphics only.
