FROM PIXELS TO POSSIBILITIES
Give a small graphic
a bigger future.
01 / THE ORIGINAL
Logos, icons and flat illustrations work best. Photos become a simplified illustration.
One still image · 20 MB maximum · 24 megapixels maximum. Tracing uses a grid of up to 1 megapixel.
Your image stays on this device. The SVG contains paths, rather than an embedded copy of the image.
02 / THE INTERPRETATION
More detail can make larger, slower SVG files. Small features may be simplified.
Grayscale and black-and-white palettes use opaque colors.
Add an image or try the sample to get started.
Choose a still image, set the palette and detail, then create the SVG. Compare the traced result with the original before downloading. Open the SVG in an editor that supports vector paths to adjust its shapes and colors.
Automatic tracing approximates the original. Flat artwork, icons and clean logos generally work better than photographs, gradients or small text. Large originals are reduced for tracing; more colors do not guarantee a better or smaller result. Text becomes shapes rather than editable font characters.
No. ImageTracer.js traces color boundaries locally in a Web Worker. There is no remote API or model, and your source image is not uploaded.
Transparent areas can be placed on white, or traced with the color palette when you disable that option. Color and opacity are approximated. Grayscale and black-and-white use opaque palettes. Small details may be discarded, and complex photos can become large groups of paths. Keep your original.
The tool limits tracing to one million pixels to keep processing and memory bounded. Simple, balanced and fine settings also limit the longest tracing edge. The resulting SVG scales freely, but detail lost before tracing cannot be restored.
