Many logos and drawings only exist as a JPG — sent by email, exported from a phone or saved from a document. JPG compression leaves blocky noise around edges and slight color shifts, which is why a JPG logo rarely looks sharp when enlarged. Shapesoda looks past that noise: it groups pixels into a small set of clean colors and traces each region into smooth vector shapes, so you get an SVG that looks the way the artwork was meant to look.

How to convert JPG to SVG

  1. Drop, paste or choose your JPG file above. Tracing starts right away — no sign-up needed to see the result.
  2. 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.
  3. Choose SVG in the export menu and download. The first download for a new account is free.

What happens to JPG artifacts

Shapesoda estimates how compressed your image is and sets the Input quality automatically: noisy, blurry pictures get stronger smoothing, crisp ones keep fine detail. The ringing and colored fringes around edges are merged into the neighboring colors instead of becoming hundreds of tiny shapes. If the automatic guess is off, switch Input quality between High, Medium and Low yourself.

Tips for JPG files

  • A JPG has no transparency. If your logo sits on a white background, you can remove that white shape afterwards with the remove-shape tool.
  • Pick the number of colors yourself when you know it — a two-color logo traced with two colors gives the cleanest result.
  • Screenshots and scans are fine; photos become posterized illustrations rather than realistic images.

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.

Every format

SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF and PNG from one result.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert a low-quality JPG?

Yes. Small and heavily compressed JPGs work, and Shapesoda cleans up most compression noise. The more pixels the original has, the more accurate the curves will be.

Will the background be transparent?

A JPG has no transparency, so its background becomes a shape. Remove it with the remove-shape tool in the editor to get a transparent SVG.

What is the difference between JPG and JPEG?

None — they are two file extensions for the same format. Shapesoda accepts both.

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.
