PNG

Options

Background

Fills transparent pixels. JPG has no alpha channel.

Resize

Leave empty to keep the original size. The ratio is preserved.

Rotation

Trace mode

Colour regions Flattens into flat colour shapes. Best for logos and flat artwork. Greyscale Two tones only. Good for scans, stamps and black and white art. Line art Traces edges into strokes. Best for sketches, maps and lettering.

Vectorising redraws the image as paths, so it approximates the source rather than reproducing it pixel for pixel. Logos and flat artwork trace cleanly; photographs posterise.

Colour regions 8 Detail 0.5 Lower merges nearby regions into simpler shapes. Smoothing 0.5 Higher rounds curves and cuts the point count.

SVG output has no browser-canvas preview. The traced drawing is rendered here as soon as the conversion finishes.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my traced PNG larger than the original PNG?

A PNG stores compressed pixel data. An SVG stores the outline of every region as coordinates, so a detailed image can need far more bytes than the bitmap it came from.

What happens to transparency?

Transparent areas are painted with the background colour you pick before tracing, because the tracer needs solid colour regions to follow.

Will the result look identical to my PNG?

No. Edges are reconstructed from the pixel grid, so results are smooth rather than pixel exact. Fewer colours and higher smoothing give a closer, simpler match.
