TIFF to SVG Converter

Runs in your browser — your files are never uploaded.

Trace a TIFF into real vector paths you can scale and edit. This is built for the kind of artwork TIFF actually holds well: a scanned logo, a line drawing, a bilevel fax, a black-and-white document scan — all of which trace cleanly because they are already flat tone. A full-colour photographic scan will not trace well; convert that to PNG or JPG instead. Everything runs locally in your browser; your file is never uploaded.

How to convert TIFF to SVG

  1. 1

    Drop your .tif or .tiff file onto the box, or click to choose one.

  2. 2

    Pick how many colours to keep and how much detail to preserve.

  3. 3

    Click “Convert”, then “Download” to save your .svg file.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of TIFF is worth tracing?+

Anything already made of flat tone: a scanned logo, a technical or line drawing, a bilevel fax, a black-and-white document scan. For those, set Colours to 2 — the artwork only has two, and forcing the tracer to agree gives the cleanest possible paths. A colour photograph scanned to TIFF is the wrong input; use TIFF to PNG or TIFF to JPG.

My scan traced with speckles everywhere — why?+

Scanner noise. A scan of a white page is never pure white, and at a high colour count the tracer turns every fleck of grey into its own tiny path. Set Colours to 2 and Detail to “Smooth”: between them they merge the noise into the background and discard the specks that remain.

What about a multi-page TIFF?+

Only the first page is traced. If you need the others, convert them separately after splitting the file, or use TIFF to PNG on each page.

Are my files uploaded?+

No. The decoding and tracing both run in your browser on your device — your file is never uploaded.
