Drop your logo or icon here

PNG, JPG or WebP. Works best on flat-color logos and icons.

Your file never leaves this device.

Choose image file

This tool traces shapes from your image to build a vector. It works well on logos, icons and simple flat-color graphics. It is not designed for photographs, which trace poorly and often produce larger, lower quality files than the original.

How to convert JPG to SVG

Four steps, all running locally in your browser.

01

Drop your logo or icon

PNG, JPG or WebP, one file at a time. Nothing is uploaded, it stays on your device.

02

Choose a detail level

Simple, Balanced or Detailed. Balanced is a good default for most logos and icons.

03

Convert

Tracing runs in a background Web Worker, so the page stays responsive rather than freezing.

04

Review and download

Not quite right? Try a different detail level and convert again, no need to re-upload.

What this tool is good at, and what it is not

Converting a raster image to SVG is called tracing or vectorization. The tool looks at your image and tries to guess what shapes would recreate it, then saves those shapes as scalable paths. JPG files often contain compression artifacts around edges, which the tracer will faithfully reproduce as extra tiny shapes, so the source matters here even more than with PNG.

Works well

  • Logos with flat, solid colors
  • Simple icons and symbols
  • Graphics with clean, sharp edges
  • Single or low color count images

Works poorly

  • Photographs of any kind
  • Images with smooth gradients
  • Heavily compressed or low quality JPGs
  • Scanned or low-resolution source images

If your image falls into the second list, you will likely get a better and smaller result by keeping it as JPG, or by converting it to WebP or AVIF instead.

Common JPG to SVG mistakes

Expecting batch conversion

This tool handles one image at a time, with no multi-file drop and no ZIP download. If you have several logos or icons to convert, run each one through individually.

Dropping a real photograph and expecting a clean vector

Photos trace into thousands of tiny shapes and usually produce a larger, worse-looking file than the source. Keep photographs as JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF instead of converting them to SVG.

Assuming Detailed is simply the better setting

Simple and Balanced use presets specifically tuned for flat-color graphics. Detailed switches to the library's general-purpose default instead, which picks up more color variation but isn't tuned for a clean logo the way the other two are. It's a different tradeoff, not automatically an upgrade.

Re-uploading the file just to try a different detail level

That's not necessary. The source image stays loaded after a conversion, click Try another level and convert again without dropping the file back in.

Expecting the trace to clean up JPEG compression artifacts

The tracer faithfully reproduces whatever edges and noise are actually in the source pixels, including JPEG ringing artifacts around edges. A heavily compressed JPEG produces a messier trace than a clean PNG of the same logo would.

Frequently asked questions

Will this work on any JPG image?

It works best on logos, icons and graphics with flat colors and clean edges. JPG is a lossy format often used for photographs, and photographs do not trace well into SVG shapes. The result on a photo is usually a large file with thousands of tiny shapes that looks worse than the original. JPG compression artifacts can also reduce trace quality further. For photos, keep them as JPG, PNG or WebP instead of converting to SVG.

Why would I convert a JPG logo to SVG?

SVG is a vector format, meaning it scales to any size with no loss of quality, unlike JPG which becomes blurry and shows compression artifacts when enlarged. Converting a JPG logo to SVG gives you a clean vector version usable at any size, from a favicon to a banner.

What does the detail level setting do?

Simple and Balanced both use tracing presets specifically tuned for fewer colors and cleaner paths, which suits flat-color logos and icons. Simple produces the fewest shapes and the smallest file, ideal for plain single-color logos. Balanced is a good default for most logos and icons with a handful of colors. Detailed switches to the tracing library's general-purpose default behavior instead, which captures more color variation and finer shapes at the cost of a larger file, but isn't specifically tuned for flat graphics the way the other two presets are. Try a different level if the first result does not look right.

Can I convert multiple images at once?

No, this tool handles one image at a time, there's no batch mode or ZIP download here. For several logos or icons, run each one through individually.

Does tracing freeze the page while it works?

No. Tracing is CPU-intensive, so it runs inside a background Web Worker rather than on the page's main thread. The page stays responsive, buttons still click and the spinner still animates, while the trace completes.

Is the SVG editable afterward?

Yes. The output is a real SVG made of path shapes, not an embedded image. You can open it in Inkscape, Illustrator, Figma or any vector editor and edit the individual shapes, recolor them or simplify the paths further.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The tracing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your image never leaves your device. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and conversion still works.
