JPG to SVG Converter
Runs in your browser — your files are never uploaded.
Trace a JPG into real vector paths you can scale and edit. Worth knowing before you start: this works on flat artwork — a logo, an icon, a diagram, a screenshot, scanned line art. It does not work on photographs, and JPG is mostly a photo format, so check what kind of image you have. For anything with soft gradients or fine texture, tracing produces a blotchy file bigger than the original. Everything runs locally in your browser; your file is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
Will this work on a photograph?+
No, and it is worth being blunt about it. A photo has thousands of subtle colour gradients; tracing collapses them into flat blobs, so you get something that looks like a bad poster effect in a file larger than the JPG. Tracing is for artwork with solid areas of colour — logos, icons, diagrams, line art. If you need a photo in a different format, use JPG to PNG or JPG to WebP.
My JPG logo has grey fringing around the edges — why?+
That is JPG compression artefacts. JPG was designed for photos and smears sharp edges slightly, and the tracer faithfully traces the smear — on a two-colour test logo, tracing at 8 colours produced 8 different fills, five of them fringe shades. Setting Colours to 2 collapses the fringe completely and is the right choice for black-and-white or single-colour artwork. For a multi-colour logo, 8 is the compromise: some fringing survives, but the shapes stay correct.
Does this produce real vector paths?+
Yes. Your image is traced into <path> geometry, so the SVG scales cleanly at any size and can be edited in vector software. It is not a JPG embedded inside an SVG wrapper.
Are my files uploaded?+
No. The tracing runs in your browser on your device — your image is never uploaded.
