Free image to vector converter
Vectorize PNG, JPG and JPEG artwork online, compare the raster with the result, and download an editable SVG.
A practical online image vectorizer
ByePixel turns raster artwork into vector paths while keeping the workflow simple: choose an image, set the maximum colours, click Vectorize, inspect the preview, and download the SVG.
Auto mode compares different tracing strategies for the image. Manual controls remain available when you need to favour lettering, simple logos or detailed illustration.
- Crop unused space before conversion.
- Use high-contrast artwork with clearly separated colours.
- Remove the background when you need a transparent SVG.
- Keep the original file so you can compare fine details.
Raster versus vector
Raster files record a fixed grid of coloured pixels. SVG files record shapes and curves. A vector result is easier to scale, recolour and edit, while a raster photograph is usually better at retaining continuous tone and texture.
Designed for useful control
ByePixel lets you control colour count, smoothing, path simplification, edge cleanup and pre-trace blur. The default Auto mode is intended to provide the best starting point without requiring those adjustments.
Frequently asked questions
What images can I vectorize?
ByePixel accepts PNG, JPG and JPEG files up to 20 MB and 6000 by 6000 pixels.
What does the converter download?
It downloads an SVG containing vector paths and colour fills.
Can a vectorizer reproduce a photograph exactly?
Not usually. Photographs contain continuous tone and texture, while vectorization simplifies the image into a limited set of shapes and colours.
