PNG to SVG

Embed a PNG image inside an SVG wrapper so it can be used anywhere an SVG file is expected. This does not vector-trace the image into shapes and paths; true photo-to-vector tracing needs specialised software and is out of scope for a lightweight browser tool. What you get is your original image, pixel for pixel, inside a valid SVG container.

Frequently asked questions

Does this turn my image into actual vector shapes?

No. It embeds your image as image data inside an SVG file. True vector tracing needs specialised software and is not something this lightweight tool attempts.

Is transparency preserved?

Yes, the PNG’s alpha channel is preserved inside the embedded image data.

Will the resulting file be larger than the original PNG?

Slightly, since the image data is base64-encoded inside the SVG XML, which adds some overhead.
