Convert any image to a real vector
SVG, DXF, G-code, EPS, PDF and STL, traced in your browser so nothing is uploaded anywhere. Machine formats carry real units, not pixels.
Free and unlimited · No signup · No watermark · Nothing uploaded
Drop several files at once to convert the whole folder in one pass.
× removes a colour and its shapes; click a swatch to change it. Every format follows.

Batch
Every file is traced on its own at its own resolution, with the settings in the panel. A file converted here comes out identical to the same file converted by itself.
Every format
See it on your product
Put this artwork on a 3D mug, tumbler, sign, phone case or canvas, turn it all the way round, or drop it onto a photograph of your own blank. The preview page has the product picker, the colours and the placement controls.

Trace settings
Full-colour trace for print and web.
Fine-tune
Raise it to clear dust, grain and stray dots; 0 keeps every mark.
Untick for pixel art: the outline then follows every pixel edge.
With Remove background: how close a colour must be to the background to go with it.
Machine output
Height follows the source aspect ratio.
Laser and Router follow the traced outlines. Engrave photo burns the picture itself, line by line, for photos and portraits.
Heat transfer vinyl is pressed face down, so it has to be cut mirrored. The second box is the overcut in millimetres: a drag knife starts each shape pointing the wrong way, and running past the start covers that stretch properly so the piece weeds out clean.
Beam or bit width. Left at zero the tool runs down the centre of the line, so a part finishes one tool width undersize. Set it and the path is offset by half, with holes offset the opposite way.
Holes before the part that holds them, so nothing comes loose while there is still cutting to do. Also shortens the travel between cuts.
Optimise
PNG is always lossless and full resolution.
Built for sign shops, laser cutters, embroiderers, screen printers, Etsy sellers and CNC shops
All conversion tools
Pick the format you have. Everything here runs in your browser, and the machine formats carry real units rather than pixels.
Files for every machine
Whether you are cutting, engraving, stitching or printing, the export is sized and written for the machine that gets it.
Why convert to a vector at all?
A traced vector is maths, not pixels. The same file is a favicon and the side of a van, sharp at both.
A blade, a laser and a router all need a path. A bitmap has none, which is why a cutter rejects it.
A traced logo is a few kilobytes against a few hundred for the PNG it came from.
Recolour a shape, move a node, separate the layers. None of that is possible on a photograph of the artwork.
How it works
- Drop your filePNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, ICO, SVG or EPS. Several at once if you like.
- It traces in this tabEdges are found and redrawn as real curves. No upload, no queue, no server.
- Take what you needSVG, DXF, G-code, PLT, EPS, PDF, STL and every raster, from the one conversion.
Questions
Is it really free?
Conversion is free and unlimited with no account, and nothing is uploaded. Pictures downloaded on the free tier carry a watermark. Machine files are never watermarked at any tier, because a mark in a cut file is extra cut paths a machine would run; they are on the one-time plan instead and arrive clean.
Do my files get uploaded?
No. The trace, every export and the render run in your browser. Open the network panel and convert something: no request carries your file. That is also why artwork under an NDA is safe here.
What formats can I convert?
Thirteen raster and vector formats are read today and sixteen are written, including GIF, BMP, TIFF and multi-size ICO, which are encoded here byte by byte because a browser canvas will not write them honestly.
Will the DXF be the right size?
Yes. Set an output width before you convert and the DXF carries it in its header, in millimetres or inches, so a 200mm part measures 200mm in the program you open it in.
Can I convert a photograph?
You can, and it is worth knowing what you get: thousands of tonal transitions become flat vector shapes, which reads as a posterised rendering rather than a copy. For logos, line art, icons and lettering it does what you expect.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Every tool is laid out for a phone and the tap targets are 44px, which is checked by a test rather than eyeballed.

What makes a file usable on a machine
Real geometry, not a bitmap in a wrapper
Several converters produce an SVG containing your original PNG inside an image tag. It opens, it looks right, and there is nothing for a blade to follow. Open ours and search for "<image": it is not there.
Units written into the file
A DXF without a unit declaration makes your CAM software guess, and guessing wrong is why a part comes out 25.4 times too big. Ours states them every time.
The Y axis corrected
SVG puts +Y down the screen, CAD and G-code put it up. Exporting without flipping gives a part mirrored about the X axis. It cuts, it just cuts backwards.
Nothing leaves your machine
No upload, no queue, no copy of a customer’s artwork sitting on someone else’s server.
