Whatever you start with — a logo exported years ago, a screenshot, a scan, a drawing photographed with a phone — Shapesoda converts it into an SVG made of real vector shapes. It first detects what kind of image it is (flat artwork with sharp pixel edges, artwork with smooth anti-aliased edges, or a photo) and picks settings to match, so most images look right without touching a single control.
How to convert an image to SVG
Drop, paste or choose your image file above. Tracing starts right away — no sign-up needed to see the result.
Check the result in the split view. Adjust colors and detail in the panel on the right, or fix spots with the pencil, fill and remove-shape tools.
Choose SVG in the export menu and download. Need several files? Use batch mode to convert them together.
What converts well
Logos, emblems and badges with a limited set of colors.
Icons, pictograms and UI graphics.
Lettering, calligraphy and signatures.
Cartoon illustrations, mascots and clip art.
Line art and sketches — see the drawing-to-vector page for tips.
Photos — possible, but the result is a posterized, poster-like image.
Formats you can download
SVG for the web, Figma and Illustrator; PDF for print; EPS for older vector software and print shops; DXF for CAD, laser cutters and plotters; and PNG rendered from the vector at up to 8× the original size.
Everything a clean vector needs
Clean curves
Smooth Bézier curves with only the nodes the shape needs. Easy to edit and cut.
Gradients stay gradients
Color fades become real SVG gradients you can edit.
Connect Shapesoda to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Edit right in the browser
Recolor, draw, pick colors or remove shapes. No Illustrator needed.

Frequently asked questions
Which image formats can I upload?
PNG, JPEG and WebP, up to 10 MB and 4.2 megapixels (at most 4096 px per side).
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in your browser, and the heavy tracing work happens on our server.
Can I edit the result before downloading?
Yes. Use the pencil, fill, color picker and remove-shape tools, change the palette or detail level, and undo anything.
What is a credit?
Without a plan, one credit is one downloaded image, in any format. The Personal plan needs no credits on the website; the API plan adds credits every month. Re-downloading the same image — even in another format — is free for 30 days.
Do credits expire?
Not while your API plan is active: unused credits roll over, up to 5 months’ worth. When the plan ends, its credits expire. The free credit for new accounts does not expire.
Do you store my images?
Only when you need it. The editor keeps your image in memory only while you work, and an API request for a single format keeps nothing. When you ask the API for several formats, request storage, or use the MCP server, the image and the results are kept for 24 hours, encrypted with a key that only you receive (anyone with the result link can download it), then deleted automatically. We never use your images to train models. The list of recent images on the start screen lives only in your browser.
Who owns the vector files?
You do. You keep all rights to the images you upload and to the vectors made from them — we claim none. Please upload only images you have the right to use.
