HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no account, nothing to install.
01
Upload your JPG
Drag in a .jpg logo, icon, sketch or simple graphic.
02
Convert to SVG
Start the conversion. The image is reduced to at most 16 colors and potrace traces each color into smooth paths.
03
Download the SVG
Download the SVG and open it in Inkscape, Illustrator, Figma or a cutting machine's software.
JPG
JPG is the most widely supported photo format, with lossy compression that keeps files small.
SVG
SVG is the web's vector graphics format, describing shapes as XML so they stay sharp at any size.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
The format every phone, browser, printer kiosk and social site accepts. JPG compresses photos by discarding detail the eye is unlikely to notice, so a 24 MP picture fits in a few megabytes. It has no transparency and only 8 bits per color channel, and every re-save loses a little more quality.
TARGET
Scalable Vector Graphics is a W3C standard from 2001. Instead of pixels, an SVG lists paths, shapes, text and gradients as XML, so a logo looks equally crisp on a phone and a billboard. Browsers render SVG natively, and it is the usual format for icons, logos, charts and illustrations on websites.

USE CASES
When a pixel image needs to become a scalable vector.
Vectorize a logo for print
Turn a JPG logo into a vector that prints sharply at any size.
Prepare a design for Cricut or Silhouette
Cutting machines need vector paths.
Turn a sketch into line art
Trace a scanned drawing into clean paths.
Make a scalable icon
Trace a simple JPG icon into SVG.
Prepare artwork for vinyl signs
Sign makers cut from vector paths.
Create a stencil
Flat-color tracing suits stencils and screen printing.
Recover a logo when only a JPG exists
Get a vector starting point to refine.
Prepare artwork for laser engraving
Engravers often need vector input.
Make an embroidery starting point
Simple flat-color art is easier to digitize.
Turn a signature into vector art
Trace a scanned signature.
SUPPORTED FILES
JPGs with clear shapes and few colors give the best results.
Flat-color designs trace cleanly.
Scanned drawings become smooth paths.
Dark ink on a light background traces well.
Turned upright using their EXIF rotation.
Simplified into color bands, which suits posters more than realism.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Tracing simplifies an image, which explains most differences.
01
Tracing uses at most 16 flat colors, so smooth gradients turn into bands.
02
Fine detail and small text are simplified or dropped. Retype text in a vector editor.
03
Lines only 1 to 2 pixels wide come out paler than the ink. Start from a larger image.
04
Text in two strongly contrasting colors, such as orange on blue, can get a thin dark edge. Clean it up in an editor.
05
Tiny specks are dropped, which usually cleans up scans.
06
That's the nature of tracing. Photos work better as JPG or WebP.
Illustrator's Image Trace and Inkscape's Trace Bitmap let you tune every setting. dragdropdo traces JPG into SVG automatically, from any device.
