Image to Vector: Transform Raster to Scalable Graphics

Convert your pixel-based images into crisp, scalable vector graphics with Image to Vector! Perfect for logos, icons, and illustrations that need to look sharp at any size.

Overview

Image to Vector is a powerful tool that converts raster image formats (like PNG, JPG) into vector graphics (like SVG). Unlike raster images, which are made up of pixels and can lose quality when scaled, vector graphics are composed of paths, lines, and curves defined by mathematical equations. This means they can be scaled infinitely without losing sharpness or detail. This tool is invaluable for graphic designers, web developers, and anyone needing scalable graphics for logos, illustrations, or web assets.

Scalable Output

Convert to SVG format that can be scaled infinitely without quality loss.

Detail Preservation

Retain clarity and sharpness even at large sizes.

Customizable Conversion

Fine-tune the vectorization process with various modes and sliders.

Easy Workflow

Simple process to upload, convert, and download.

How to Use Image to Vector

Follow these steps to convert your raster image into a vector graphic:

Upload Your Image

Click the “Choose File” button to upload the raster image file (e.g., PNG, JPG) you want to convert to SVG.

Configure Settings (Optional)

Adjust the various dropdown menus and sliders to fine-tune how the image is vectorized.

Convert to SVG

Click the “Convert to SVG” button. The tool will process your image based on the selected settings and generate the vector version.

Download SVG

Once the conversion is complete, click the “Download SVG” button to save the vector graphic file to your device.

Input Parameters and Options

Here are the inputs and options available to customize the image-to-vector conversion:

file_upload
file
required

The raster image file (PNG, JPG, etc.) you want to convert.

color_mode
Enum

Determines how colors are handled during vectorization.

Possible values: Color, Black & White

hierarchical_mode
Enum

Controls the layering and structure of the vector output.

Possible values: Stacked, Cutout

line_mode
Enum

Specifies how lines and shapes are represented in the vector output.

Possible values: Polygon (Straight Lines), Spline (Curved Lines)

filter_speckle
integer

Adjusts the sensitivity to small details or “speckles” in the image. Higher values ignore smaller details, simplifying the output.

layer_difference
integer

Influences how distinct color or tonal areas are treated as separate layers in the vector output.

length_threshold
integer

Sets a minimum length for vector paths. Shorter paths below this threshold may be ignored.

splice_threshold
integer

Affects how curves are simplified or “spliced” into straighter segments.

color_precision
integer

Controls the number of colors or tonal variations preserved in the vector output. Higher values retain more color detail.

corner_threshold
integer

Determines how sharp corners are detected and represented. Lower values are more sensitive to subtle corners.

max_iterations
integer

Sets the maximum number of processing iterations the algorithm performs to optimize the vector paths.

path_precision
integer

Controls the smoothness and accuracy of the vector paths relative to the original image’s edges. Higher values create more precise paths.

Tips for Best Results

Use Graphics with Flat Colors

The tool works best with images that have flat, distinct color areas and clear edges, like logos, icons, and simple illustrations.

Iterate on Sliders

Experiment extensively with the various slider settings. Small adjustments can significantly impact the final SVG output.

Understand Each Setting

Refer to the parameter descriptions to understand how each slider and dropdown affects the vectorization process.

Compare Outputs

Generate multiple versions with different settings and compare them to find the one that best captures the detail and style of your original image.

Conclusion

Image to Vector is an indispensable tool for converting raster images into versatile, scalable vector graphics. With its customizable settings, you have fine control over the conversion process, allowing you to achieve high-quality SVG outputs for a wide range of design needs.
