How to Convert PNG to SVG
Add your PNG files
Drag and drop, or click to browse. You can convert several at once — they are processed together, right here in your browser.
Convert to SVG
Press Convert. SVG is lossless, so every pixel is preserved exactly.
Download
Save each SVG file, or grab them all as a ZIP. Nothing was ever uploaded, so nothing needs deleting.
Why convert PNG to SVG?
The main reason is logos and icons that must stay crisp at every size. PNG excels at logos, but when you need pixel-perfect quality, SVG is the better fit. This tool makes that switch instantly, right in your browser.
What happens to quality?
SVG is a lossless format, so the conversion preserves your image exactly — no detail is discarded in the SVG encoding itself.
A note on file size
Expect the SVG file to be noticeably smaller than your PNG.

Tips & Things to Know
Check the file size after converting
Expect the SVG file to be noticeably smaller than your PNG. If size matters for your use case, the before-and-after figures shown above tell you exactly what changed, so there are no surprises when you upload or share the result.
Transparency is preserved
Both formats support an alpha channel, so any transparent regions in your PNG stay transparent in the SVG — nothing is flattened onto a solid background.
Everything stays on your device
This converter runs entirely in your browser using your own processor. Your PNG files are never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone, which makes it safe for private photos, client work, and confidential documents. When you close the tab, nothing remains.
The conversion is faithful
SVG is lossless, so every pixel is preserved exactly as it was in your PNG, meaning you do not have to worry about settings — just convert and download.
