How it works
How to convert PNG to SVG
Add your images
Drop PNG files into the box above, or press Choose files. You can add as many as you like.
Pick colors and detail
Fewer colors give a cleaner, smaller SVG. Higher detail follows the edges more closely. Press Apply settings after a change to trace again.
Download
Save each file on its own, or download everything at once as a ZIP file.
Why
Why convert PNG to SVG?
Turn PNG logos, icons and illustrations into SVG vectors that stay sharp at any size. Transparent areas stay transparent, so a logo on a transparent background becomes an SVG that sits cleanly on any page or design.

About the formats
What is PNG?
PNG is a lossless image format released in 1996. Every pixel is kept exactly, and it supports full transparency, which makes it the usual choice for logos, icons, screenshots and anything with text. Photos saved as PNG are often several times larger than the same photo as JPG.
What is SVG?
SVG describes shapes as code instead of pixels, so it stays sharp at any size, and a simple logo or icon often takes only a few kilobytes. Web developers use it for logos, icons and illustrations, and design tools and cutting machines read it too. Many apps, social networks and document editors still only accept pixel images such as PNG and JPG.
Questions
Questions and answers
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. ConvertOrino converts your files with code that runs in your own browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, nobody else can see your files, and they are gone as soon as you close the page.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. Fully transparent areas are left out of the SVG, so the background stays transparent.
Is this a real vector SVG or just a PNG inside an SVG?
A real vector. The image is traced into filled shapes, so you can scale it to any size, change colors in a design tool or edit the paths.
Which images work best?
Logos, icons, drawings, text and flat illustrations with clear edges. Screenshots and photos can be traced too, but the result is a large file that only roughly resembles the original.
What do the Colors and Detail settings do?
Colors sets how many colors the SVG may use. Pick 2 for a single color logo, and 16 or more for colorful illustrations. Detail sets how closely the shapes follow the edges. Higher detail looks closer to the PNG but makes the file larger.
Is the PNG to SVG tool free?
Yes, completely free. There is no sign up, no watermark and no limit on the number of files.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, because your own device does the work. Very large files are limited by the memory of your device. Phones handle files of a few hundred megabytes, computers handle much more.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows?
Yes. It works in any modern browser, including Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox, on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing needs to be installed.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the conversion works without an internet connection, which also proves that your files are not sent anywhere.
