Scale images without quality loss - convert PNG or JPG images to vector files

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a flexible, web-friendly file that can be infinitely scalable. This means you can resize your SVG and not worry about resolution loss.

Vector files are great if you need to optimize the size of your graphics or adapt designs like logos or infographics for large-scale printing requirements.

The SVG converter is available in Recraft Studio and via Recraft API.

Recolor or simplify your SVG image

Another advantage of vector images is that they offer more detailed color control.

Using the Adjust colors feature, you can reduce color count to simplify the image or recolor the SVG file by applying color palettes.

Edit vector images

You can keep working on your SVG file right in Recraft Studio. Fine-tune details, clean up shapes, and adapt the design for any use without switching tools.

  • Edit area: adjust specific parts of the vector without affecting the rest of the image.
  • Erase area: remove unwanted elements or refine edges with precision.
  • Remove background:  instantly isolate objects from the background.

What is an SVG file?

A scalable vector graphic (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format for 2D graphics. SVG can be rendered at any resolution, unlike PNG or JPG files, which pixelate and lose their sharpness when enlarged.

SVG files, also called vector graphics, are increasingly popular for designers looking to maintain their quality, and they're easy to edit and scale.

What are SVG files used for?

SVG files are used to create scalable, high-quality graphics that stay sharp at any size.

Designers use SVGs for logos, icons, illustrations, UI elements, and branding assets because they can be resized without losing quality.

SVGs are also ideal for web and app design: they load fast, look crisp on all screens, and can be easily edited, styled, or animated.

How to vectorize an image?

Image vectorization in Recraft Studio is easy. You can upload a raster image onto the canvas and click 'Vectorize' it for convert an image to SVG. Finally, download your vector image as an SVG file.

What makes Recraft’s AI vectorizer unique?

Recraft’s vectorizer AI is designed to deliver superior accuracy in converting raster images to vector formats. Unlike many tools that produce jagged or incomplete vector traces, Recraft’s AI ensures smooth paths and well-defined edges, even for complex designs. Additionally, the AI works swiftly, so users can convert images in seconds without sacrificing quality.

What is the difference between raster and vector images?

There are two kinds of digital images: raster and vector. Raster images, such as JPG and PNG files, are made up of pixels, tiny squares of color that can become blurry (or pixelized) when resized. Vector images use mathematical formulas instead, so the result is smooth lines and shapes that remain sharp at any size. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a popular vector file format, valued for its ability to scale without losing quality.
Vector images are perfect for product design, logos, T-shirt mockups, and countless other design projects.
Raster images are still valuable for complex photos and detailed artwork where color depth and gradients are essential. Stick with raster images when working with images that require rich, intricate detail.

Which raster image formats can I convert to SVG?

You can convert PNG, JPG, and WebP images into SVG files in Recraft Studio.

Is Recraft Studio free?

Yes. Recraft Studio has a free version with most of the functionality that designers need as well as a paid plans. We recommend you start for free and see if you need the additional functionality of the paid subscription.
