A logo saved as PNG goes fuzzy the moment you scale it up. Vectorizing traces it into an SVG — math instead of pixels — so it stays razor-sharp at any size, from a favicon to a billboard. For flat graphics this is the right fix; the trick is knowing when it applies.

What vectorizes well — and what doesn't

Vectorizing shines on images made of solid shapes and clean edges:

  • Great: logos, icons, simple illustrations, line art, signatures, anything you'd cut on a Cricut.
  • Poor: photographs, gradients, soft shadows, detailed textures. The tool will try, but you'll get a huge, blotchy SVG that's worse than the original.

The rule of thumb: if you could redraw it with a handful of flat colors, it'll vectorize. If it needs a camera, keep it raster (and just compress it instead).

Pick the right preset

The preset does most of the work, so match it to the image:

  • Logo — logos, icons, flat shapes. Clean edges, solid colors. Start here for most jobs.
  • Full Color — flat multi-color illustrations.
  • Line Art — sketches, signatures, thin lines. Preserves fine strokes.
  • Stencil — bold single-color outlines for vinyl, screen printing or cutting machines.
  • Photo — best-effort only; expect a large file.

Check the edges before you trust it

Use the compare slider and zoom in. You're looking for two things: edges that follow the original cleanly (no jagged stair-stepping), and a sensible path count — a clean logo should be a few dozen paths, not thousands. If the edges look rough, switch presets before anything else.

Free, local, private

It runs in your browser on JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF up to 10 MB — nothing is uploaded, and there's no watermark or sign-up. For client logos and brand assets under NDA, keeping the file on your machine is worth more than the convenience of a cloud converter.
