Lettering
JPEG is built for photos: it throws away detail the eye barely notices, which works for pictures but hurts flat artwork. Edges pick up faint blocks and halos, and a single flat color turns into dozens of slightly different shades. Converting a JPEG to SVG means deciding which of those shades are real colors and where the true edges run. Shapesoda does this automatically and gives you simple controls when you want a different balance.
How to turn a JPEG into an SVG
Drop, paste or choose your JPEG 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. You can also download PDF, EPS, DXF or a high-resolution PNG from the same result.
Controls that matter most for JPEGs
Colors — choose a suggested palette, set an exact count, or pick colors straight from the image.
Merge similar colors — joins shapes whose colors differ only by compression noise.
Output detail — High keeps small features, Low gives a simpler, more graphic look.
Edge artifact cleanup — removes thin slivers that JPEG leaves along high-contrast edges.
Good to know
Every change is previewed instantly and can be undone. Tracing and editing are free; a download uses one credit, and downloading the same image again — even in another format — is free for 30 days.

Frequently asked questions
Does converting a JPEG to SVG improve quality?
For flat artwork, yes: the vector has clean edges and flat colors and stays sharp at any size. It cannot recover detail that the JPEG never had, so start from the largest version you can find.
Can I convert many JPEGs at once?
Yes. Batch mode converts a set of images with the same settings and gives you the vectors in one ZIP file.
Which JPEGs work best?
Logos, icons, lettering, clip art and illustrations with clear shapes. Photos become posterized images with flat color areas.
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.
