Turn image into vector (SVG / DXF)
Convert raster images and PDFs to scalable vector files for AutoCAD, Illustrator, and print
How it works
-
Upload your image or PDF
Select or drag any image (JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF) or PDF up to 50 MB.
-
Choose your settings
Pick line art or color mode, set the detail level, and choose SVG or DXF output format.
-
Download your vector file
Get a true vector file that scales to any size. Open it in AutoCAD, Illustrator, Inkscape, or any vector editor.
Why use this tool?
- Convert photos and scans to true scalable vector files
- SVG output for web and design, DXF for AutoCAD and engineering
- No software to install — works in your browser
- Your files are deleted automatically after 24 hours
Supported formats
Input: JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF, PDF. Output: SVG (scalable vector graphics) and DXF (AutoCAD drawing exchange format).
When you need a vector version of an image
You have a logo, sketch, floor plan, or scan that needs to go into AutoCAD, Illustrator, or a laser cutter. But the file is a JPEG or PNG — a grid of pixels that gets blurry when scaled up.
This tool traces the shapes in your image and converts them to real vector paths. The output is a true SVG or DXF file with smooth curves that scale to any size — from business cards to building facades.
Line art mode is ideal for architectural drawings, logos, and technical diagrams. Color mode preserves multiple colors as separate editable layers. Both produce clean, professional vector output.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between SVG and DXF?
- SVG is the standard vector format for web browsers and design tools like Illustrator and Inkscape. DXF is the industry standard for CAD software like AutoCAD and is widely used in architecture and engineering.
- What is the difference between Line Art and Color mode?
- Line Art mode converts your image to black-and-white before tracing, producing clean single-color outlines. Color mode preserves multiple colors by creating separate vector layers for each color. Use Line Art for logos, sketches, and technical drawings. Use Color for illustrations and designs with multiple colors.
- Can I vectorize a PDF?
- Yes. If the PDF already contains vector data, it is extracted directly with no quality loss. If the PDF contains a scanned image, it is rasterized at 300 DPI and then traced to produce clean vector output.
- Will the vector file look exactly like my original image?
- Vectorization traces the shapes in your image as smooth curves. Simple, high-contrast images (logos, line drawings) produce excellent results. Complex photographs with gradients will be simplified into flat color regions.
- Is my file stored on your servers?
- Files are kept only long enough for you to download your result, then deleted automatically within 24 hours. Your files are never shared or stored permanently.
