SVG Converter & Viewer

About SVG Converter & Viewer

Convert raster images (PNG, JPG, WebP) to SVG vector format, or view and optimize existing SVG files. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files are resolution-independent and perfect for logos, icons, and graphics that need to scale without losing quality.

How to Convert Images to SVG

1. Click the "Convert to SVG" tab
2. Upload a raster image (PNG, JPG, WebP, etc.)
3. Adjust the conversion settings:
   • Threshold: Controls transparency handling
   • Colors: Number of colors in output (fewer = smaller file)
   • Blur: Pre-processing blur for smoother edges
   • Smoothing: Path smoothing level
4. Preview the SVG output in real-time
5. Switch between Preview and Code view
6. Download the SVG file or copy the code

How to View and Optimize SVG Files

1. Click the "View SVG" tab
2. Upload an existing SVG file
3. View the SVG preview and file information
4. Click "Optimize SVG" to reduce file size
5. Switch between Preview and Code view
6. Download or copy the optimized SVG

Best Uses for SVG

• Logos and brand marks that need to scale
• Icons for websites and applications
• Simple illustrations and graphics
• Charts, diagrams, and infographics
• UI elements and interface components
• Print graphics that require high resolution
• Responsive web graphics
• Animated graphics (SVG supports CSS/JS animation)

Understanding Conversion Settings

The conversion process uses image tracing with color quantization:

• Threshold: Determines which pixels are considered transparent (0-255). Lower values make more pixels transparent.
• Colors: The number of distinct colors in the output. Fewer colors create simpler, smaller SVG files but less detail. More colors preserve detail but create larger files.
• Blur: Applies a pre-processing blur to smooth sharp edges before conversion. Useful for reducing noise and creating cleaner paths.
• Smoothing: Controls how smooth the generated paths are. Higher values create smoother curves but may lose fine details.
