What does vectorizing a PNG do?

Vectorizing converts a raster image (PNG or JPG) into a scalable SVG — it traces the pixels into editable vector paths, so the result stays sharp at any size and you can recolor, resize, and cut it. Drop an image above to vectorize it free in your browser, no signup.

The basics

What does vectorizing do?

Vectorizing converts a raster image — made of pixels — into scalable vector paths. The output is true SVG, so it stays perfectly crisp at any size, from a favicon to a billboard, and every path is editable.

Clearly’s vectorizer runs the open-source vtracer engine entirely in your browser — your image never uploads, there’s no AI cost per use, and there’s no signup. When you want more, hand the trace off to Vector Studio for AI generation, animation, and brand-locked exports.

How it works

PNG to SVG in four steps

Step
01

Drop your image

Add a PNG, JPG, or WebP. It stays in your browser — no upload, ever.

Step
02

Trace to vector

vtracer converts your raster into clean, editable SVG paths instantly.

Step
03

Clean it up

Delete the background path, edge artifacts, and speckle interactively.

Step
04

Export

SVG, 300 DPI transparent PNG, or a press-ready layered PDF with a CutContour cut line.

Who it's for

One tracer, three jobs

Logo digitizing, Cricut Print-Then-Cut, and print-on-demand prep — all in the same free browser tool.

Vectorize a logo

Drop a low-res or rasterized logo and get clean, scalable SVG paths for signage, merch, and business cards — or hand off to an embroidery digitizer. Recolor each path, re-export at any size.

PNG to SVG for Cricut

Add a kiss-cut line and halo (0/2/5mm bleed) so artwork imports clean into Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio for Print-Then-Cut. Closed paths cut precisely on vinyl, sticker paper, and HTV.

POD & vinyl prep

Remove the background and export a 300 DPI transparent PNG for Printful, Printify, and Redbubble — or a layered PDF with a CutContour spot layer for Roland VersaWorks and Esko ColorGATE.

Exports

Every format the job needs

The same trace, formatted for the cutting mat, the press, or the web.

Clean editable SVG

True vector paths you can recolor, ungroup, and scale infinitely — open in Illustrator, Affinity, Inkscape, or Figma.

300 DPI transparent PNG

Background removed, print-ready raster for print-on-demand platforms and product mockups.

Press-ready layered PDF

CutContour spot-color layer plus automatic bleed — recognized by Roland VersaWorks and ColorGATE.

Cricut kiss-cut SVG

Cut line and halo baked in for Print-Then-Cut in Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio.

FAQ

PNG to SVG, answered

01Is the PNG to SVG vectorizer really free?+
Yes. /vectorize is free forever — no signup, no upload. The vtracer engine (open-source, MIT) runs entirely in your browser, so your image never leaves your machine and there is no AI cost per use. Open the result in Vector Studio when you want to generate variants, animate, or export press-ready files.
02How do I convert a PNG, JPG, or WebP to SVG?+
Drop your image into the vectorizer above, let it trace to clean SVG paths, then use the interactive cleanup to delete the background path, edge artifacts, and speckle. Export the SVG, a 300 DPI transparent PNG, or a press-ready layered PDF with a CutContour spot layer.
03Can I vectorize a logo for print or embroidery?+
Yes. Drop a low-res or rasterized logo (PNG/JPG) and get clean, editable SVG paths you can scale to any size without blur — for signage, merch, business cards, or handing to an embroidery digitizer. Recolor each path and re-export in any size.
04Will the SVG work with Cricut Print-Then-Cut?+
Yes. The vectorizer can add a kiss-cut line and a halo (0mm / 2mm / 5mm bleed) around your artwork so it imports cleanly into Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio for Print-Then-Cut. Closed paths ensure precise cuts on vinyl, sticker paper, and HTV.
05Can I prep transparent PNGs for print-on-demand?+
Yes. Trace your design, remove the background path, and export a clean transparent PNG at 300 DPI — ready for Printful, Printify, Gelato, Redbubble, and Merch by Amazon. For vinyl plotters, export the layered PDF with a CutContour spot layer that Roland VersaWorks and Esko ColorGATE recognize.
06How is SVG different from PNG or JPG?+
SVG files are made of mathematical paths, not pixels, so they scale to any size without blur — from a small sticker to a billboard. PNG and JPG are raster formats that pixelate when enlarged. Vectorizing converts your raster image into those crisp, editable paths.
