- 01
Open your file
PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, or BMP up to 10 MB in the free workspace (the AI converter takes PNG, JPG, WebP, or AVIF). Existing SVGs can be edited in the free workspace.
- 02
Trace and inspect
Preview the shapes and colors. Clear logos and flat artwork usually trace more predictably than photos.

Understanding Raster vs Vector Graphics
What Are Raster Graphics?
Raster graphics (also called bitmap images) are composed of a grid of individual pixels. Each pixel stores color information. Common raster formats include PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF. Raster images are resolution-dependent and lose quality when scaled beyond their original size.
Why Convert to Vector?
Converting raster to vector eliminates resolution limitations. Vectors use mathematical paths that scale infinitely without quality loss, making them essential for professional branding, technical drawings, and any design that needs to work at multiple sizes.
What Are Vector Graphics?
Vector graphics use mathematical formulas to define shapes, lines, and curves. They're resolution-independent, meaning they maintain perfect clarity at any size. Common vector formats include SVG, AI, EPS, and PDF. Vectors are ideal for logos, icons, illustrations, and technical diagrams.
Professional Applications
Vector graphics are the standard for professional design, engineering, manufacturing, and printing. They're essential for CAD work, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, screen printing, and any application requiring precision at various scales.

Raster to Vector Conversion Best Practices
- 1Use high-quality raster sources: Higher resolution raster images with clear edges convert more accurately to vector format. Aim for at least 300 DPI for best results.
- 2Clean raster images first: Remove noise, artifacts, and unwanted elements from your raster image before conversion for cleaner vector output.
- 3Simple rasters convert best: Raster graphics with solid colors, clear lines, and distinct edges produce the cleanest vector paths. Avoid complex gradients if possible.
- 4Optimize for your use case: Consider your final application when converting. Technical drawings need precision, while artistic images may prioritize visual appearance.
