Raster to Vector
Free online Raster to Vector converter. Convert Raster to Vector and get clean vector paths that scale to any size, as SVG, PDF, EPS or DXF. Runs in your browser: nothing uploaded, no sign-up.
Works with: Illustrator · Inkscape · Figma · Canva · web browsers
Drop several files at once to convert the whole folder in one pass. Got a different format? A PNG, JPG, HEIC, PDF, SVG or DXF still comes out as Vector.
× 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.

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.
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.

Upload your image
Drag in a PNG, JPG or WebP. Nothing is uploaded, the trace runs in your browser.
We rebuild the shapes
The engine finds the edges and redraws them as real curves, not a bitmap in a wrapper.
Download the SVG
Scales cleanly at any size, on a business card or the side of a van.
Image vectorizer: vectorize any raster picture in your browser
This is a free online vectorizer. Vectorize image files - any raster picture - into clean SVG, EPS, PDF or DXF paths that scale to any size without going soft.
As an image vectorizer it traces the edges of your picture and redraws them as real curves and corners: flat colour layers for a logo, a single outline for a cutter, or a centerline for an engraver. There is no bitmap hidden inside the file.
People looking for a vectorizer ai tool want the tracing done for them: here the colours, the background, a checkerboard baked into a download and the specks too small to matter are found and handled automatically, and every setting stays in your hands if you want to change it.
A vector image is made of shapes rather than pixels, so it prints sharp on a business card and on the side of a van, cuts cleanly on a Cricut or a laser, and opens in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma and CAD.
A raster converter online that traces pixels into paths: a raster to vector converter free to use, and a raster converter online free of installs, where other raster converter software needs a licence. Image to vector converter free, with output as SVG, EPS, PDF, DXF or raster to vector AI for Illustrator.
Raster to vector PDF converter free: to convert raster PDF to vector PDF, drop the scanned PDF, trace it, and download a PDF made of real paths instead of a picture.
Why it matters
Real geometry, not a wrapper
Several popular converters base64-embed your original bitmap inside an SVG tag. That file does not scale, cut or separate. Open ours and there is no <image> tag anywhere in it.
Corners stay corners
Sharp angles are detected and kept sharp, while curves between them are smoothed. A logo comes back with its corners square.
Holes stay holes
Counters in lettering and enclosed shapes trace with opposite winding, so they render and cut as holes rather than filling in.
Nothing leaves your machine
No upload, no queue, and no copy of your artwork on someone else’s server.
Questions
How big should my image be?
Around 1000 pixels on the long edge is a comfortable floor for a logo. Below roughly 500 the edges are already soft, and the trace follows that softness faithfully because it cannot know the blur was not intended.
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 faithful copy. For logos, line art, icons and lettering it does exactly what you expect.
Is the original file better?
Always. If the vector original exists somewhere, it beats any trace, ours included.
