How to convert JPG, PNG, GIF images to PDF, SVG, EPS vectors

  1. JPG, PNG, BMP or GIF bitmap original uploaded for vector conversion

    1. Upload

    Upload a raster image and we automatically figure out what settings to use and trace the image for you.

  2. Outline of the vector result overlaid on the bitmap original for comparison

    2. Review & edit

    You can review the vector result, tweak the settings and even edit the result, all within the same tool.

  3. SVG, PDF, EPS, AI and DXF vector result ready for use

    3. Download

    The result is delivered in SVG, EPS, and PDF formats. The desktop edition also produces AI and DXF.

Simply the best auto-tracer in the world

Vector Magic re-captures the fine details of your original and provides sub-pixel precision.

Sub-pixel precision

Vector Magic carefully traces out every bit of information available in your image, slicing each edge pixel at precisely the right spot to re-create the intention of your original.

Vector Magic uses the appropriate number of nodes to represent your vector shapes.

The right number of nodes

Vector Magic is a breath of fresh air, intelligently selecting the right number of nodes to use, and placing them at excellent locations.

Tracing an image with Vector Magic produces a clean and crisp result.
Tracing
Embedding a bitmap image in a vector format doesn't give you the full benefits of a vector result.
Embedding

Tracing not embedding

Vector Magic always traces your bitmap, carefully teasing out the underlying shapes in it, and provides you with a real vector image with all of its benefits.

Fully automatic vectorization

Vector Magic analyzes your image and automatically detects appropriate settings to vectorize it with, and then goes ahead and traces out the underlying shapes in full color. This makes getting started a real breeze: just upload your image and presto, a result to review!

Edit the result

You can eliminate unwanted shapes, connect shapes that have been separated, fix broken lines, and separate shapes that should not be touching, all in the form of an easy-to-use pixel-style editor.

Bitmap images vs vector images

What's the difference between JPG, PNG, GIF images and SVG, EPS, PDF, AI, DXF files?

Vector images consist of shapes like circles, rectangles, lines and curves, while bitmap images, also known as raster images, consist of a grid of pixels. Vectorization or tracing is the process of taking a bitmap image and re-drawing it as a vector image.

The shapes in vector images allow computers to do things that cannot be done with raster images, like scale them to any size without loss of quality and using them to e.g. cut, sew, paint, and laser engrave.

PNG to SVG

Turn PNG logos, icons and graphics into SVG vectors that stay crisp at any size.

  • Flat colors and sharp edges trace into clean shapes with few nodes.
  • The colors are picked automatically, and you can reduce them or choose an exact palette.
  • Transparency is preserved in SVG and PDF output.

JPG to SVG

Turn JPG photos, scans and artwork into SVG vectors, free of compression noise.

  • Vector Magic traces the shapes beneath the JPG artifacts, so edges come out clean.
  • A lower detail level rejects more noise; a higher one keeps finer detail.
  • Photos become shape-based artwork with as many or as few colors as you choose.

Help is only a click away

Officially supported input file formats are: JPG, PNG, BMP, and GIF bitmap images using the sRGB color space. That said, we do our best to accept any image format your browser can read. CMYK input gets converted to sRGB.

The maximum allowed image size is 1 megapixel, regardless of aspect ratio. Images larger than the size limit will be shrunk to that size. Note that this is pixels, not bytes, and there is currently no image byte size limitation.

Officially supported browsers are the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge running on modern desktops and laptops, though other modern browsers may also work.
