How to Convert PNG to SVG — Free Online Converter
A PNG is made of pixels, so it blurs when you enlarge it. Converting PNG to SVG traces your image into clean vector paths that stay sharp at any size — and because PNG supports transparency, your logo's transparent background carries straight into the SVG. Upload your PNG below and download the SVG in seconds, free.

How to convert PNG to SVG in 3 steps
Upload your PNG file
Drop your PNG into the converter above. Transparency is preserved — checkered areas stay transparent in the vector.
Adjust the tracing
Pick a style: Detailed for artwork, Posterized for flat logos, or Black & white for a one-color mark. Fewer colors = a cleaner, smaller file.
Download the result
Preview the vector next to the original, then download the SVG for free. Use it on the web, in print, or send it to a laser cutter.
Why convert PNG to SVG?
PNG is the web's standard for logos and icons, but it is still a raster format. Every resize risks blur, and every background color is baked in. SVG fixes both: it scales infinitely, stays tiny in file size, and can be recolored or edited in any vector editor. Print shops, laser cutters and vinyl plotters all prefer SVG because their machines follow paths, not pixels.
Best PNGs to convert
Logos with flat colors, icons, badges, signatures and line art convert almost perfectly. Photos saved as PNG will trace into a stylized, poster-like vector — great for art prints, but not a pixel-perfect copy of the photo.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a PNG to SVG for free?
Upload the PNG to the converter on this page, choose a tracing style, and click Download SVG. It is free, needs no account, and runs entirely in your browser.
Does PNG to SVG keep transparency?
Yes. Transparent areas of your PNG stay transparent in the SVG. If you prefer a solid background, choose the White background option before converting.
Will the SVG look exactly like my PNG?
For logos and flat graphics, very close. Vector tracing redraws shapes as paths, so tiny anti-aliased details may simplify — that is normal, and it is what makes the file scale cleanly.
Can I use the SVG for laser cutting?
Yes — SVG is the standard input for most laser cutters and vinyl plotters. For CAD/CAM workflows that need DXF, see our PNG to DXF page (Pro).
Is there a file size limit?
The free converter accepts PNGs up to 12 MB and traces images up to 1600 px on the long side, which covers nearly all logos and icons.
