Automatic, accurate tracing of bitmaps into vector shapes — with the controls to make it exactly right.
Left: a compressed JPEG. Right: the clean SVG from Shapesoda. Drag to compare.
Raster images store color pixel by pixel; vector graphics store shapes. Converting from one to the other — tracing — means finding the regions of the image, deciding their colors and fitting curves along their edges. Shapesoda does all three automatically and shows you each stage, so you can see where a shape comes from and adjust it.
Switch between the split, original, vector and segments views to inspect the tracing. Paint regions with the pencil and fill, dissolve a shape into its neighbors, pick colors from the image or remove shapes entirely. Every step can be undone.
Smooth Bézier curves with only the nodes the shape needs. Easy to edit and cut.
Color fades become real SVG gradients you can edit.
SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF and PNG from one result.
Connect Shapesoda to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Recolor, draw, pick colors or remove shapes. No Illustrator needed.
Send a JPG or PNG, get an SVG back. Add vectorization to your app.
Yes. Most images need no adjustment. The controls are there for when you want fewer colors, more detail or cleaner curves.
Shapesoda fits smooth Bézier curves to round edges and keeps corners sharp where the artwork is pointed. You can trade accuracy for fewer nodes with the Nodes control.
Yes. There is a REST API and an MCP server for AI agents; they share credits with the website.
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.
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.
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.
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.
