    PNG, JPG, WebP, or AVIF up to 10 MB. Existing SVGs can be edited in the free workspace.

  2. 02

    Trace and inspect

Working with your SVG

Infinite Scalability

SVG paths can be resized without introducing raster pixelation. The converted result is a vector interpretation of the source image.

Widely Supported Format

SVG files work in modern browsers and can be opened in widely used vector design tools. File size varies with image complexity.

AI-Assisted Tracing

The converter traces visible shapes and colors into vector paths. Results vary with source quality, contrast, and complexity.

Online Conversion

Upload a supported image, process it in your browser workflow, and download the resulting SVG when it is ready.

Browser-Compatible Output

SVG is supported by modern browsers and can be embedded, linked, or styled in many web workflows.

Fully Editable

SVG files can be easily modified with design software or code, unlike fixed raster formats.

Why Convert RAW to SVG?

RAW files contain the highest quality image data straight from your camera sensor. By converting to SVG, you combine that quality with the benefits of vector graphics - infinite scalability, small file sizes, and editability in design software.

Pro Photographer Tip

For best vectorization results, process your RAW file in Lightroom or Camera Raw first to adjust exposure, contrast, and clarity. Export as a high-quality JPEG, then convert to SVG. This gives you more control over the final vector appearance.
