Convert PNG to SVG Online

What makes PNG different from SVG?

PNG is a raster format — the image is stored as a fixed grid of pixels. Zoom in, and you see individual squares. SVG is a vector format — shapes are described by mathematical coordinates, so they scale to any size without degradation.

Converting a PNG to SVG is particularly valuable for logos, icons, and line art that needs to look sharp at multiple resolutions.

When should you convert PNG to SVG?

You need an SVG when: a designer hands you a PNG logo but you need crisp rendering on retina screens; when a web project requires an icon that resizes dynamically; or when you want to apply CSS animations to a graphic. SVGs are also better for accessibility since they can carry semantic meaning.

Why this converter protects your privacy

Most PNG-to-SVG online tools send your file to a remote server for processing. That creates a window where your image exists on someone else's infrastructure. This tool processes everything locally using the Canvas API — no data leaves your device, nothing is transmitted or stored.
