Vector Tracer
Images & AssetsTrace a raster image to SVG paths using edge detection (simplified). Best for logos and simple graphics on white backgrounds.
How to Use
1
Upload image
Upload a simple logo or graphic on a white/light background.
2
Choose trace mode
Edge detection finds outlines. Contour traces around solid shapes.
3
Download SVG
Copy or download the generated SVG path data.
About Vector Tracer
Raster images are resolution-bound, but vector graphics scale infinitely — and tracing makes the conversion. ILikePdf Vector Tracer converts PNG and JPG images into clean, editable SVG paths with controls for colour count and smoothing. It is ideal for recreating logos, converting sketches, or preparing art for laser cutting and large-format printing. Tracing runs entirely in your browser, keeping source images private.
How to trace images to SVG Vector Tracer
Step 1: Upload a PNG or JPG you want to vectorize.
Step 2: Choose trace settings — colour count and smoothing.
Step 3: The tracer converts the raster into vector paths.
Step 4: Preview the SVG result.
Step 5: Download the scalable vector file.
Common use cases for Vector Tracer
- Turn logos into infinitely scalable SVGs.
- Convert hand-drawn sketches into vector art.
- Recreate low-res assets as crisp vectors.
- Prepare raster images for laser cutting.
Pro tips
- High-contrast, flat-colour images trace best.
- Lower colour counts produce cleaner paths.
- Tracing runs entirely in your browser.
- Reduce colour count for cleaner paths on logos and icons.
- Higher smoothing removes jaggies at the cost of some detail.
