Remove Background and Vectorize an Image

Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP. The pipeline removes the background first, then traces the result into SVG paths. Download the background-removed PNG and completed SVG, and review the edges before using either file.

Free local tracing needs no account. AI tools use credits and upload files for processing.

From your image to editable paths

Choose the workflow that suits your file.
  1. 01

    Open your file

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

  2. 02

    Trace and inspect

    Preview the shapes and colors. Clear logos and flat artwork usually trace more predictably than photos.

  3. 03

    Make it yours

    Edit the SVG, compare optional optimization, and download your result.

Working with your SVG

Two stages in one workflow

Background removal runs first. The resulting image becomes the input for SVG tracing, without a second upload.

Review both outputs

Check the background-removed image and the SVG. Fine edges, transparency, and small shapes may need correction.

Use a suitable source

Clear logos and flat illustrations are useful starting points. Hair, reflections, shading, and low contrast can be difficult to reproduce.

Understand the cost

A complete run uses 2 credits. The $9.99 pack contains 50 credits, enough for 25 complete runs if used only for this pipeline.

Questions about your file

Plan the credits for your job

The starter pack costs $9.99 for 50 credits. At 2 credits per complete pipeline run, it funds 25 complete runs when all credits are used here. Each additional selected image starts another run. See current credit packs.

Check the result on more than one background

Inspect the output against light and dark surfaces. Look for edge halos, missing light-colored regions, stray shapes, and small lettering that changed during tracing. Transparency makes a file flexible to place, but it does not guarantee that its edges are clean.

Use the original image as a reference when editing. If the background-removed PNG better preserves a photograph, use that instead of forcing the image into vector paths.

Choose the workflow you need

For local tracing and editing without AI background removal, open the free SVG workspace. For source preparation and a combined upscale workflow, see logo cleanup. Check the output before using it in a print or cutting job.
