- Step 2
AI picks the colours
Recraft Vectorize groups colours and fits curves with no manual settings.
- Step 3
AI Processing
Our AI analyzes edges and shapes to create clean vector paths.
- Step 4

What is Image to SVG?
Image to SVG is an AI tool in Pixelift that runs in the browser with no installation. Transform raster images into clean, scalable SVG vector graphics with AI. Perfect for logos, icons, and illustrations that need to scale infinitely without quality loss. Ideal for print, web, and design workflows. Engine: Recraft AI · VTracer. Cost: 2 credits per result; credits are bought once in packs from $1.49, no subscription, and they never expire. Files go to our server in the EU; if the tool uses an AI model, it runs at a provider from our subprocessor list. We never train models on them.
What you get
Clean SVG
Recraft Vectorize picks the colours and curves itself; the result has editable paths and no watermark.
PNG and PDF
You can also download the same result as PNG or PDF. The PDF contains a PNG image, not vector paths.
Input files
JPG, PNG or WebP up to 5 MB.
AI Vectorization Features
Infinite Scalability
SVG vectors scale to any size without losing quality. From favicon to billboard, your graphics stay crisp and sharp.
AI picks the colours
No colour mode to set: Recraft groups the image colours into flat areas on its own.
Clean, Editable SVG
Output files are optimized for editing in Illustrator, Figma, and other design tools.
Perfect For Vector Conversion
Logo Vectorization
Convert raster logos to scalable SVG for business cards, signage, and merchandise.
Artwork & Illustrations
Transform hand-drawn art or digital illustrations into editable vector formats.
Icons & UI Elements
Create scalable icons for apps, websites, and design systems.
Print & Merchandise
Prepare graphics for large-format printing, t-shirts, and promotional materials.
Advanced Vectorization AI
Our vectorization engine uses advanced edge detection and path optimization algorithms to create clean, efficient SVG files. Unlike simple auto-trace tools, our AI understands image content and creates semantically meaningful vector paths.
- Intelligent edge detection for smooth curves
- Color palette optimization and reduction
- Path simplification for smaller file sizes
- Preserves important details while removing noise
What to Expect — ✓ Works Best For
- Simple graphics with clear edges (logos, icons)
- Images with solid colors and defined shapes
- Line art and flat-color illustrations
Current Limitations
- Photographs produce abstract vector interpretations
- Detailed or shaded illustrations — especially realistic faces — become flat color areas, not smooth shading
- Gradients are converted to discrete color steps
Tips for Best Vectorization
- Use high-contrast images with clear edges
- Simple graphics with fewer colors vectorize better
- Crop the image to just the logo or icon before converting
- Clean up your source image before vectorizing
- Higher resolution sources produce cleaner vectors
- Flat colours without gradients give the cleanest paths
What this tool is (and is not) for
Use this tool for
- •Logos — simple, few colors
- •Icons and pictograms
- •Flat illustrations / line art
- •Technical drawings and sketches
- •Simple 2D graphics with solid fills
DO NOT use for — try instead
- •Photos (portraits, landscapes, scenes)Instead try: Upscaler— enlarges photos without loss
- •Product photos with gradients and shadowsInstead try: Upscaler + Crisp Edge— preserves photorealism
- •Portraits / facesInstead try: Face Restore— improves facial detail
- •Images with gradients and shadowsInstead try: Upscaler— gradients preserved, no rasterization
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between raster and vector?
Raster images (PNG, JPG) are made of pixels and become blurry when scaled up. Vector graphics (SVG) use mathematical paths and scale infinitely without quality loss.
Can I edit the SVG output?
Yes! SVG files can be opened and edited in Adobe Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape, and other vector editing software.
Will photos convert well to vector?
Photographs produce stylized, abstract vector interpretations. Vectorization works best with logos, icons, and graphics with clear shapes.
Do I have to pick a colour mode?
No. Recraft Vectorize picks the colours and curves itself. Logos, icons and graphics with flat colours give the best results.
What file formats are supported?
Input: PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP up to 5 MB. You download the result as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), and also as PNG or as a PDF containing a PNG image.
