Image to SVG converter

Turn any image into a clean SVG for laser cutting and engraving. Free and private.

Convert an image to SVG online, free

Turn a photo or graphic into a vector SVG for laser cutting and engraving. The tool traces the pixels of your image into paths on your device, with nothing uploaded, so you get a clean vector file ready for your machine. It reads PNG, JPG, GIF and WebP.

For a cut or engrave file, use the outline style: it produces clean single-colour paths that laser and cutting software import directly. The colourstyle vectorises the whole picture instead. A high-contrast source image traces most cleanly; the detail control smooths the result or follows the image more closely.

How to use it

  1. Drop an image onto the page, or click to choose one.
  2. Choose outline (for cutting) or colour, and set the detail.
  3. Download the SVG.

Common questions

Common questions

What kind of image can I convert?

Any raster image: PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP. The tool traces the pixels into vector paths, so a clean, high-contrast image gives the best result.

Will the SVG work in my laser software?

Yes. Use the outline style for a single-colour SVG that laser and cutting software import as paths you can cut or engrave.

How do I get a cleaner trace?

Lower the detail for smoother paths with fewer specks, or raise it to follow the image more closely. A high-contrast source image also helps.
