How this tool works

What it does

PNG to SVG wraps a PNG raster image inside an SVG container (not vector tracing).

No quality setting

The pixels are embedded unchanged.

File size

The base64-embedded .svg may be larger than the source image.

Privacy

In-browser only; nothing is uploaded.

PNG to SVG in your browser

PNG to SVG wraps a PNG raster image inside an SVG container in your browser. This does not trace or convert pixels into vector paths — it embeds the original image inside an <svg> wrapper, and the file is never uploaded to a server.

Because the raster bytes are base64-embedded in the SVG, the resulting .svg may be larger than the source image. The pixels are unchanged; only the container format changes.

PNG to SVG shows that the output is a raster wrapper, the dimensions, and the file size in the result panel.

How to use PNG to SVG

  1. Upload your PNG image into PNG to SVG.
  2. No settings are needed — PNG to SVG wraps the image in an SVG container as-is.
  3. Click Process to wrap your PNG in the .svg container.
  4. Review PNG to SVG’s result panel — it notes the raster wrapper and that the file may be larger — then download the .svg.

Why use PNG to SVG

Not vector tracing

PNG to SVG is honest: it wraps the raster image, it does not vectorize it.

Pixels unchanged

The original image is embedded as-is inside the SVG.

Size disclosed

PNG to SVG notes that the base64-embedded SVG may be larger than the source.

Private by design

PNG to SVG runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Common uses for PNG to SVG

Embedding in SVG workflows

Drop a raster image into a pipeline that expects an .svg container.

Single-file delivery

Ship an image as an .svg when a workflow only accepts SVG.

Understanding the limits

See clearly that this wraps rather than vectorizes.

Any-device conversion

Create from a phone, tablet, or computer browser with the file staying local.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server by PNG to SVG?

No. PNG to SVG builds the SVG in your browser, and it is never sent to imgtoolsbase or any server.

Is PNG to SVG vector tracing?

No. PNG to SVG embeds the raster image inside an SVG wrapper; it does not convert pixels into vector paths. For true vectorization you need a dedicated tracing tool.

Why is the PNG to SVG output larger than my image?

Because the image is base64-embedded inside the SVG, which adds overhead. PNG to SVG notes this in the result panel.

Will my image look different after PNG to SVG?

No. With PNG to SVG, the pixels are unchanged; only the container is an SVG. Scaling the SVG scales the embedded raster, so it can look soft when enlarged.
